THERE MUST BE LIFE OUT THERE
To say that we live on the only inhabited planet in the entire cosmos is pretty vain, arrogant and egotistical on our part. With all the potential planets that could support life similar to ours it is astronomical odds to bet against Earth being the only planet supporting life forms. The numbers must be in the millions if not billions. This is a topic that many have wanted answers to since the dawn of mankind.
All would be needed is land solid enough to walk on, gills and fins if they are living under water, liquid to drink or oxygen or similar gas to breath. Plus there would have to be sustainable warmth from a sun like star to keep life going. Would a God or Creative Intelligence limit itself to just life on our planet?
Then we can talk about consciousness and how far it can expand. Is the Universe the limit here? I can't see what consciousness wouldn't be able to travel long distances before petering out. How many other sentiment beings are able to pick on it and decipher it correctly?
Radio and TV signals could travel throughout the Universe. But then what would other planetary citizens think of us with what we produce in the way of reality shows, TV wrestling and current celebrities?

Then, is there fossils or life elsewhere? But, isn’t the emergence and maintenance of life a process of radical contingency? That is, is a unique and unrepeatable past totally necessary? Or does life emerge through space like mushrooms when some conditions are present? So, how many conditions are necessary: three, four, trillions, infinite? Only one, water or any sort of God? Is God the word that means infinite conditions, absolute necessity? Anyway, how did the life that emerge in a given conditions resist when switching to a different moment? How does life resist time itself, the effects of entropy? But, is it possible for human beings to recognise a simpler life than their own brain only? On the other hand, beyond likeness, is it possible to recognise a complex life than their brain, is this the extra-terrestrial life that some people are searching unsuccessfully? However, is there an origin of life or would it be as finding a cut in the material history of the universe, an infinite void that human language patches now? Is it the same cut between life and death? Along these lines, a different book, a preview in goo.gl/rfVqw6 Just another suggestion, far away from dogmas or axioms.
