    Not at all, I have several collegues sitting right next to me as I write. You needn't worry about being left all alone with me! What you SHOULD be worried about is being left all alone with DD! ;P

          There's Bob, obviously. So we're not alone. And then there's also the drake equation

            I absolutely believe there is life on other planets. I think its naive to think otherwise.

                As a whole, humanity is a big, dumb, tiny brained animal thats driven by primitive emotions. So yeah... I agree. :-D

                  The odds of us being alone are so small as to be zero. Life start so easily, even under quite appalling conditions that I would expect the universe to be teeming with life. Whether is evolves beyond the bacterial level is another matter.

                    How do you know? Organic molecules form quite easily. But there's a long way from that to the DNA -> RNA -> Protein cycle. Having said that, the sheer size of the universe in terms of stars suggests that if life does not start easily we can nevertheless expect there to be lots of it.

                        It changes a lot if you start counting from the end of the Period of Heavy Bombardment (it is reasonable to assume that life could not have formed during that period) instead of from the formation of the Earth. Then, simple life started nearly immediately.

                              Not only are we alone, but YOU are alone in the universe! All of what you see, feel, hear, taste and experience is all due to your imagination. If you wake up, we'll all disappear!

                              If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                              You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                              Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

                                  Warning: I'm not a scientist :) The problem with scientists or humans is they think they have explored all or know every bit of truth starting from big bang(They don't really know how it happened ;P ) We could not explore our universe , we don't know the beginning or end.. Hope we will meet our neighboring planet member's soon or later. Thanks,

                                    It's funny you should ask this question. I was on Altros 5 the other day and some of the Miggles were discussing this same issue... Oh, wait... I've said too much.

                                        Warning: I'm not a scientist :) The problem with scientists or humans is they think they have explored all or know every bit of truth starting from big bang(They don't really know how it happened ;P ) We could not explore our universe , we don't know the beginning or end.. Hope we will meet our neighboring planet member's soon or later. Thanks,

                                        No, that's precisely the opposite of the scientific method. You start with the assumption that you don't know anything; you come up with a hypothesis, and then try to disprove it. If enough people fail to disprove it, then it becomes the accepted theory. You use the word "theory" instead of the word "fact" simply because you're not ruling out the possibility that future evidence might shed new light on the matter.

                                          There's Bob, obviously. So we're not alone. And then there's also the drake equation

                                          Interesting. I think he's missing a few factors, not the least of which is there anybody listening with the right apparatus?
