Other living things that are as intelligent or more intelligent then us out in the universe
or just living things in general
i believe they absolutely do exist. there is probably all kinds of intelligent life out there, we just dont have the technology to detect it. there could be galactic warfare going on all around us and we wouldnt know it.
to think we are that special, that the whole universe, which we have absolutely no understanding of, has been around for billions of years longer than humans is empty except for us, is rediculous but some believe it.
there are an estimated 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone. multiply that by estimated 125 billion galaxies to get 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. muliply by 9 planets in each (estimated) and you get 450,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets or 450 billion billion chances for life out there.
