Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

So the long and short of is is simply wishful assumptions. In the real world you actually don't know of any terrestrial "less primitive species" or any extraterrestrial "highly advanced intelligent species"?

Thank you.
The probability is that there is likely to be intelligent life elsewhere given the sheer numbers of Earth-like exoplanets in our universe, which by some estimates number billions in our galaxy alone. If life can evolve on Earth there is no reason to think it cannot evolve on the countless similar planets elsewhere in the universe.
