I really appreciate you maintaining the server, and being able to play and collaborate with other skeptics in the community.

@VistoTutti @gatmac5 That, and the Christmas tree hypothesis: the universe is vast, both in space and time, intelligent life may have happened multiple times, but the chances of two intelligent civilizations emerging close enough in space and time to find each other before they are annihilated are very small.

@VistoTutti @gatmac5 Possibly Earth is not the first, but the chances of evolving intelligent life is likely incredibly small. The universe is a killing machine, Earth is one of the few lucky planets that survived 4.7B years without passing in front of a Gamma-Ray Burst beam, sterilizing all of its life.
