I think there may be several planets out there with living animals like, say, squirrels.

But semi-intelligent life? Extremely rare. Advanced intelligent life? Unheard of. Uncommon, if not totally nonexistent.

Check this out: How many species on planet Earth are there? Now, how many species have mastered the wheel?

One.

One species has mastered the wheel out of millions. The freaking wheel. That’s a circle, y’all. (Billions if you count insects and fishes.)

We are probably alone.

Now, how many species have mastered the wheel?

Yeah, but, how many of those other species have a need for a wheel?

If one were to examine the "design" of every species of animals and even plant life, one would see a "perfect" design in every one of them for what they do (and that includes the lowly viruses and germs).
