Back before we knew exactly what the fuck we were made of, and how it got here, I can see how folks could believe that we were "special".
However, it's 2014, and "we've" discovered that we are made from the most abundant shit found ANYWHERE in the cosmos...and that goes for ALL of us, man, plant, animal, insect, rocks, everything. Hydrogen is THE most abundant shit found anywhere, as is oxygen, and these two elements make up like 75% of all living critters running amok here on the rock. Carbon makes up another 18% or so, and that shit's found everywhere as well. This PROVES beyond a shadow of doubt that we are NOT special....AT ALL.
Since life developed here on our rock, which is one of BILLIONS and BILLIONS of rocks zipping through the cosmos, it HAS to have happened all over the damn place.
Now, given the witness testimony, trace evidence left behind, and technological evidence, like radar, that proves aircraft NOT made by man are, and have been, "visiting" this planet since who knows when, it's a given that not only IS there life "out there", but that life HAS BEEN visiting our rock for a long, long, LONG ass time. Now the only thing we need to find out is who the fuck they are, where the fuck they came from, and what the fuck they're doing here.
I give it another 20 years before there is so much photographic evidence that even THE most dismissive retards can't defend the fact that we are indeed not alone.
