I am a 35 year old, married male living in Lewiston Idaho, where I was born and raised.
I worked as a machinist for 18 years at a local company until recently when I left to pursue an A.A.S. degree for "information systems analysis" at Lewis Clark State College in Idaho. |

Life On Other Planets? Hmmmm.
I thought the existence of extraterrestrial life was proven already by the discovery of bacteria fossil remains in a meteorite from mars several years ago?
Or, wasn't that proof enough?
Sure...I agreeably understand that science requires experiments (or in this case discoveries) to be backed-up and repeatable before they are considered proven fact.
But, considering that we now know where the answer to this age-old question may be located, shouldn't it be fairly "quick & easy" for us to crack-open a few more of these Mars rocks and prove, once and for all, that "we're not alone" so we may put an end to this ancient debate?
I mean, come-on! Mars is our next-door neighbor. We should have rocks (and possibly lawn tools for that matter) from Mars lying all over the place that could be use to confirm these findings if they are indeed correct. What's the hold-up?
Even without the proof of bacteria in the rock from Mars, I find it unbelievable that any rational, logical thinking human being with even the slightest bit of common sense could honestly believe, or even kid themselves, that the abundant LIFE we see here on Earth is simply a very fortunate, one-time, exclusively rare fluke of extraordinary circumstances that should never have happened in the first place.
Oh and don't forget that not only are we uniquely special as the sole existence in the galaxy but also we are by far the most intelligent creatures to ever grace time...Hooray for us!
Me, I'm a betting man, and I play by the odds. Even if you only take into consideration; the vast number of planets there are in the universe; and the possibility that any one of them could have enough of the elements and required circumstances needed to support life; odds are that "life in the universe" is not only a very likely possibility, but probably tends to be more of the rule than the exception.
