II firmly believe that lefe exists somewhere else in the cosmos.  Earth is not special.
I concur. I believe so firmly that extraterrestrial life exists that I majored in exobiology - the science of extraterrestrial life.
With trillions of planets out there, we can't be the only one.  Distance is why we can't find them.
Speaking of planets, I used my Exobiology degree to get a job involving Exoplanetology - a scientific field dedicated to finding extrasolar planets!
