Aliens: True or Fact?

I don’t believe for a second that we are the only intelligent planet out there. How egocentric do you have to be to think Earth got the monopoly on brains? In the observable universe alone there are countless galaxies- plural. Billions of planets, billions of chances. And yet people act like we’re the cosmic main character. Please.

Yeah, it’s unsettling to admit there’s something out there we have zero control over. But flip it: if we knew for sure we weren’t alone, what actually changes? Religion? Maybe- but if your god made everything, wouldn’t “everything” include neighbors? Seems like a small detail in the grand design.

Honestly, it wouldn’t be much different than finding a new species in the ocean. Creepy, fascinating, and humbling.

The scariest part isn’t the aliens, it’s realizing we were never the main character.
