What entity told you otherwise?

Some of us don’t rely on unseen entities to describe reality to us

So how do you know there is other life in the universe? If you have some proof share it. Scientific community will be amazed by it.

Where did I say I knew that? I certainly do not.
I do however, understand the statistical argument that it’s highly likely (though what form that life would take is another question. I don’t think it would be in any way humanoid. Possibly bacteria.

Why do you have to know for sure to counter your claim? I am not 100% certain but I think it is likely givern the circumstances for life and the vastness of our universe. But I don’t claim to know for sure. I don’t think just because we want to feel special does this have to mean we’re the only planet with life in the universe

Yeah, that was kind of my point. You don’t know for sure and I don’t know for sure. You’re guessing there is other life because you guestimate that the probability of life emerging is high enough for it. We don’t know what that probability is. I’m guessing it’s actually so low it happened only once. We’ve seen huge portion of the universe already but no signs of life. For now most people prefer your theory but as time passes my theory becomes more and more likely.
