No, I thoroughly understand his perspective on evolution but a possible living environment under those conditions is not even considerable.

Yeah. Ive always thought it was nearly impossible that we are the only life in an ever expanding universe.

And do you know if Professor Drake still teaches at UC Santa Cruz (Wiki says he does)?

No, you really are missing the point. The bounds you are putting on life are that it has to be like ours. Life is anything that is moving on its own, if our Earth was very far away from the sun, then we would evolve into very polar creatures -- perhaps not needing heat or sunlight. Life as we know it started from amino acids and into bacteria...bacteria is some of the most resiliant life in this universe, able to adapt and conform to almost any condition within minutes (just because it has a rapid mutation rate)...so the underlying point is that we may have walked on five legs and eaten stones or something if the earth was very far away.

i wouldn't say life was anything that moves on its own.

but anyway, if that is the case bovine then why isn't there clear signs of much more developed life on a planet like mars?

Wormholes are the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Apparently it's one point "bent" beside another and you travel through the small space to avoid the long way.

You can't distort reality so this is nothing more than an over active imagination..

im almost positive theres life out there other than us, but I highly HIGHLY doubt other species have visited our planet. The science required is just too much.

one way to find out if theres life out there is let asteroids crash onto us and investigate the rock

Of course they must be relatively small ones

Judging by the blog I think youre extra terrestrial life
