The universe is a big place. In fact, so large that at it's theorized creation -- the Big Bang -- it expanded from the size of a marble to a space some billion times larger than visible space in a matter of a trillionth of a trillionth second.

Yes, evidence points to our origins lying in the same family as our not-so-distant cousins short of a chromosome -- the primates. Personally, I don't see a serious difference between us -- humans and apes I mean.

It may not be that we're alone, but that whatever visitors have came here would have generally been dissuaded by what and who we are. Personally, if I were an alien fresh from another planet, Earth would be the last fucking place I'd go.

Or maybe they've already been here, or are still dipping in and out occasionally. It'd be rather arduous to monitor every inch of the sky from Earth. In fact, it'd probably be damn near impossible.


It's been said that the absence of evidence doesn't necessarily denote the evidence of absence. Think about it.
