Do you consider people closed-minded that don't believe in extraterrestrial life?

I don't believe in extraterrestrial life, in the same way that I don't believe in any deity.

Without specific evidence of existence, the default should be non-existence. Until I've been provided with at least a hint of evidence of life originating from somewhere other than Earth, I will operate on the assumption that such life does not exist.

Lack of belief in something is not the same thing as belief in the lack of something. I don't believe that life originating from earth is the only life in the universe, but I don't believe in extraterrestrial life.

Anyway, something to think about.
