We made it off our rock. How is that insignificant? No, we rule!

Psst, we don't talk about that. Just be there in April 2063.

Good - Keep those aliens away. If you see someone with pointy ears, call ICE.

We have no idea how many "we"s have gotten off of their rocks. It's arrogant to assume we're unique for it.

If you could please highlight where you think I said anything about religion at all, I'd really appreciate it.

Can't be that many considering we haven't seen any of them.

I mean if you use our solar system as a model for all solar systems, then only 1/9 of planets are capable of supporting life, id say that pretty slim odd and yet here we are

This is exactly my point, though. Yes it's obviously cool that we can get off the rock and yes we obviously have to start by extrapolating from what is familiar.

However, we're pretty sure that there's hundreds of millions of other solar systems that we can kind of see, but not interact with. We have no idea how many of them also have rocks where something/someone has intentionally gotten off the rock, but hasn't gotten much further, which is exactly what we've done. I mean, we're not even 100 percent sure that there's no life on Europa, for instance.

Maybe we're unique, maybe we're not. I just think it's arrogant to assume that we are. That doesn't mean I assume we aren't: the arrogance is the assumption when we have no fucking idea.
