- You want hills? We got hills
This is an interesting point. I also believe that there is probably life on other planets. The problem is it's taken billions of years for ours to develop to the point where we are even thinking about travel to another planet, let alone another solar systemMy Mum, who still clings to some Catholic dogma even after the Catholic Church has made her miserable all her life, asked me if I believed in Heaven. I don't, and I think our lives are no more significant than the short life of a leaf on a tree or a gnat on the leaf, we exist, we think we're terribly important then we cease to exist.
Same philosophy as with aliens, there must be hundreds or thousands or even millions of planets where life exists and like the Human race, will burgeon then collapse for one reason or another.
The sun, like all stars, has a finite life. Then it destroys all the planets around it.
So there is a window for life to travel to other solar systems..too soon (like us) and it can't figure out how to travel massive distances to other solar systems. Too late and the star blows up everything
My guess is that other star systems are just too far away to ever allow travel between them and we will never go to see aliens and they will never come to see us
