i just read an article pertaining to the necessary building blocks needed for life to happen. i'm not a scientist or even remotely familiar with biological terminology, but apparently phosphorous plays this very important role in all the biological lifeforms we're currently aware of. this means that if there is any chance of there being life on another planet, there has to be phosphorous. what's just been discovered though, is that phosphorous can be replaced by arsenic in certain biological schemes, nearly doubling the chances of life on other planets.

to me though, no matter how you look at it, to presume there is so much space and we're the only ones capable of thinking about all that space is absurd thought at its finest. there is way too much evidence on top of that also.
