I'm not arguing what the odds are, but my point is to AtheistBecauseReason and his dismissal of anything without proof. At the moment there is no proof.

Now do I believe life exists elsewhere? I would lean heavily towards yes, but that is my belief without actual proof.

Well to be honest there is a difference. We don't know that god(s) exist and so the belief in the deity of one's choice is faith. In contrast we do know that life exists for sure, we know what conditions are necessary for life and we moreover think that we have seen such conditions elsewhere (including two or three places in our own solar system.) So a belief that life exists elsewhere does not require the same level of credulity.

Fair point and not one I'd disagree with, although there are so many more questions I would have around that and life here, and I don't have time to ask those right now, but I will in time I'm sure.

I'm mischief making with ABR's resolute black and white viewpoints.
