Fascinating article (the first of a promised two) by Caleb A. Scharf and presented on Salon.com.

I found the two answers to the above (and below) question are incredibly insightful even as they are brief and cut to the core:

Do you think we’re alone in the universe?

Answer B): We might be. There’s never been any firm evidence of extraterrestrial life, and our galaxy is old enough that intelligent civilizations should have spread everywhere by now.

If you find that interesting, read the rest of the article.  Fascinating stuff!
