Carl it is encouraging to see someone who can respect what we know but also understand the future is not yet know and reasonable speculation is not extreme thinking.
Human experience is all we have... we can only proceed that way..but humans have something I find facinating...imagination...it is a great tool... and using it within reason must be our big thing I suspect... imagination has delivered everything to us so far... it is not hard to imagine that life is not confined to this planet... it would seem arogant to say it was..if you were on the outside making comment what other conclusion could you offer...
But our imagination lets us enjoy specualtion confined to our experience...some imaginings are unreasonable given our experience..others..like finding life in places we would think means death...could let us entertain a possibility that life will be abundant in other plkaqces even places not on this planet...finally it is the old cat in the box problem..you dont know until you take a look... you can guess and project probability but that is mere fortune telling really... the odds have littel to do with who wins the race..odds reflect a market of humans happy to bet and no more than that.
