Oh. My. God. If alien life really has been discovered, even if it's just micro-organisms, the universe as we know it might be fundamentally changed after this. This is beyond huge.

 

Not really, life elsewhere in the universe is pretty much a given to anyone with a rational view of the universe. 

it is not a given, it is far from being 100% sure

it is just a strong possibility

Us being the sole form of life in the entire universe, makes us nothing more than an anomaly. Therefore, extraterrestrial life is a given. Simple math.

nah, you can turn it how you want, life somewhere on the universe is "only" highly probable.

but it is neither obvious, neithere sure, neither proven. We may, indeed, be this anomaly you are mentionning ...

Also, the way you are "thinking" remember me those guys that, because universe or life seems so complex and so well organized, consider the existence of god is ... a given ...

what do you think ?
