Guys...
There are planets out there. Like, a lot of them. Like, so many that our mind cannot begin to understand how many there are.
You could walk on them. Some have water. Some have air. You could feel their grass and soil beneath your feet and smell the scents of their flowers and feel their breezes on your face and feel and see the light of their suns raining down on you. You could feel the water that flows on their surface cool your hands and run down your face as it falls from the sky. You could marvel at the life that they harbor, so familiar and yet so alien and yet beautiful in a way you never knew was possible. You could look up at night and see the light that they catch from unimaginably distant stars and see the reflected light of their suns in the details of their moons. You could find the distant speck of space where the world you came from lived and marvel on how vast and how wonderful and how beautiful the universe is and how precious the worlds that dot it are.
They exist.
We can't reach them right now. Perhaps we never will.
But they exist.

I'm also speaking from religion, though. My religion has a verse of scripture where God says that he's made "worlds without number" and that his children inhabit those worlds. Ergo, life.
This is one of my favorite scriptures

Yeah, but there is not an infinite amount of planets.
Even if there isn't infinite, it's probably close enough that it might as well be infinite. It could also be that our puny mortal brains simply cannot comprehend the vastness of the universe. It's still pretty much statistically impossible that Earth is the only planet that is with life.

sorry if it seems like we're ganging up on you. Just my personal beliefs mixed with my religion seem to be the same as Bookwyrm's and witless's.
