    you would have to be crazy to think that there isn't life on other planets out there. explained by the following . we are just one planet in our solar system, whitch is of 100's of thousands solar systems in our Galaxy..., Where there are 100's of Billions of other galaxy in the universe with there own 100's of thousands of Solar sytems.Each one have there own range of planets. we cant be the only planet that has life, out of a 100.000 trillion other possible planets in the universe! SIDE NOTE: The big bang theory by Gonzalo M. yes there was the creation of our universe and we will NEVER know HOW exatly it came to be! There is one Huge part of the "big bang" that no one seems to talk about.. and im not talking about the God "particle" !! Im talking about God himself. he created our know universe and beyond. Everything pefectly following his laws and rules that govern our world we live in. and all of the rules and laws that govern the universe that we just can't comprehend..!
