Quote:Yes - for one simple reason.
People don't realize how big the universe is. It's really, really, really big, beyond the comprehension of the human brain big. Even a single galaxy. The idea that we're somehow completely unique, and that there are no other planets with advanced life - even if you only count our own galexy - is completely ludicrous.
What is up in the air is how advanced they are, as far as life forms go.
"Space...is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it is. And so on."
