[meteorite-list] Alien Life Topic

[JoshuaTreeMuseum]

Hi Eric,

Nice summary of  the anthropic principle:  no matter how low the probability 
that any given galaxy will have intelligent life in it, the universe must 
have at least one intelligent species by definition otherwise the question 
would not arise. (Wikipedia)


Hi List,

Ok, Now we're getting somewhere. Why I didn't see the aliens for all the
humans I don't know. Kind of the forest for the trees scenario I guess.
Which just goes to show that life does in fact exist elsewhere. Our own
existence proves it. We are that life, we exist therefore other life
must exist as well. Looking at our own planet from outside our own
galaxy, instead of saying life is "out there somewhere" why didn't we
look back at ourselves?
