  • Of course OP isn't positive. The "for sure" is because it is more than probable, based in the size of the universe, that it is true. The god of the gaps theory is describing the phenomenon of filling in gaps in scientific knowledge with "god did it". That is not what is happening here.

  • It's safe to assume that the conditions and processes that lead to intelligent life on earth exists elsewhere.

  • As a side note, why do those requirements have to be there? What's to say that some other planet hasn't evolved sentient/intelligent space dolphins or something entirely foreign?

  • Nothing. Aliens might be based on cobalt or silicon instead of carbon.

  • Exactly. I always find it vexing how people always assume that intelligent life has to develop under conditions favorable to humans.

  • you're using "God of the gaps" philosophy. If there's no legitimate evidence besides "there must be" then you don't have an argument

  • You're right, out of the trillions and trillions of planets and moons, we are the only "intelligent" life. Just like the Earth is the center of the universe right? [spoiler]Check yo self[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Check yo self[/spoiler][/quote] That's using the exact same philosophy as "The God of the gaps" and you comparing that to the earth being the center of the universe has literally nothing to do with anything. Also you don't need to put intelligent in parentheses, we are intelligent life. that is a fact. You are making a lot of assumptions and callimg them true with no evidence whatsoever. seriously [spoiler]Check yo self[/spoiler]
