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 ?
|
At least millions of planets identical to ours throughout the whole universe, why no other life form? Why just us humans?
On your second point, on the contrary I am an Atheist. I believe the sole reason no other life forms can would be the existence of a God, him creating only us.
If we go by math, there's a 99,999999...% possibility we're not alone. That's a 100% to me.

Well we don't know why we exist, and there's always debate as to how it actually happened, so concluding for a certainty that we're not alone when we don't even fully understand the circumstances of our own existence is a bit premature in my opinion.
Anyway, all you have to do is look around the earth, there a plenty of examples of unexplainable occurrences that baffle our logic, or things happening well within what was thought a .0000001% of scientific error.
I wouldn't be surprised if we were alone. A freak anomaly in the universe.
