There is no evidence for life beyond our planet, so why would you be sure?

Because I believe God has populated other worlds.

We know of heaven. That’s located somewhere in the universe.

Because it does exist, here.

So there’s at least one.

Is there more?

I honestly don’t know.

Or looking at it another way, are we alone?

I honestly don’t know that either.

I sometimes wonder if there really has been enough TIME since the Big Bang (BB) for life to florish.

The Sun and Earth are about 4 billion YO, and the BB was 13 billion Years ago.

However, the Solar System has a lot of heavier than Hydrogen/Helium elements. The heavier elements are actually made in gigantic supernova’s—exploding massive stars.

How many cycles of this manufacturing did it take to make enough heavier elements to make a planet the size of Earth, full of Silicon, Iron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Aluminum, Manganese, Sodium, Sulfur, Oxygen,, and all the other elements necessary for life? We’re carbon-based... So we had wait for that element. We also need lots of oxygen, at least to make water.

Maybe it takes 8-9 billion years of exploding stars just to get enough heavier elements into the universe to start making life?

Maybe we’re just the first?
