“Intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe”
Agree
- Universe is unfathomably huge
- We can't be the only ones
- Math makes it nearly certain
- Billions of planets in habitable zones
- Life found ways here, why not there
Disagree
- We haven't found any evidence yet
- Fermi paradox suggests we're alone
- Life might be incredibly rare
- Intelligence could be even rarer
- Maybe we're the first
