Fully agree

(Better off stating that they may or may not exist. Its more accurate and better balanced).

See also, the Fermi Paradox .. its all been said before.

K, Craig the Fermi paradox is a very compelling piece of Theoretical stuff....hehehehhe. Sure there is no hard evidence for extra-terrestrial life,
but....in your heart Craig....your deep down feeling .......statistics and theory aside ....... including the Fermi Paradox.....
do you really think there is life out there?
Simple yes or no.......and please, no - "what type of life" ..... just life in a sentient form....ie like you and I....

Cheers
