because we know there are - at least - 1 trillion-trillion solar systems so it's ~1 for approximately any low probability per system.

it's just that due to the speed of light limit we will probably never meet even a small minority of them.

now consider that we know that are at least many billions of galaxies only in the observable universe; science-fiction is now where near reality; they have the delusion we know at our galaxy when we barely know a single solar system lol.. (out of at least a trillion..trillion lol..).

because there are at least 1-trillion-trillion permutations of solar systems (they are likely multiple times that (we only know the observable part)). even a probability near the planck constant would net a result of ~1 in total.

and we already know "aliens" can exit in a solar system; it's us; it doesn't even look that bizzare since at least a couple of other places in the same system were almost -earths and we can almost reproduce it in a lab.

The scale of the galaxy is not really an argument if we don't know the other probabilities. Our star is a relatively rare kind, and it's becoming clear that our particular kind of solar system is also one if the rarest possible kinds, so already with those two conditions you've got a probability of like 1/10000 per star assuming that's all you need for civilization to arise. Spoiler alert, the probabilities of a civilization spawning biosphere on a planet are infinitesimally small.

They wouldn't have to travel faster than light for us to see the affect they have had over billions of years. They would convert the light of the patch of sky into infrared radiation.

>barely evidence for even trace amounts of amino acids and a single RNA nucleobase, despite dozens of surface sample surveys on various bodies, even though the Earth should be spewing these compounds across the solar system
So, at best, with our known data, the chance of even just RNA existing on a given large body is 1/750. So you need to factor in the chances of that being scaled up to DNA, to small proteins, to molecular motors, to bacteria, to eukaryotes, to multicellular organisms, to tiny, to small, to medium, to large sized creatrues, then, out of all of those large creatures, you have to factor in the chance of them developing at least human level intelligence. How many large species have existed on earth? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? Who the fuck knows, there has almost certainly only been one that has been space faring though.
Giving you every benefit possible, let's say the probability factor for each jump in life complexity listed above is just 100, with the last jump being only 10,000, this gives us: 1/750*(100^10)*(10,000) = 1.333e-27. You should fucking realize how much leeway you are being given in this estimation. This is all assuming that our set of bodies have at least relatively similar chemical makeups, radiation densities, stability and longevity as the solar system (which 99.9999999999% don't).

this assumption (implying we are "extremely unlikely" stable) is pure retardation. earth had extremely violent events with a rarity that doesn't appear that uncommon (mainly because space is mostly ..space).

even with those violent events life didn't give a shit so it's very doubtful that "extreme stability of the system" is required and what's mostly required is the initial conditions to have the appropriate chemistry and climate.

Lol, if I had a nickel for every instance in which an atheists espoused this "we're pretty much already there, we can make X% of chemicals needed for life", I'd be rich.

Abiogenesis experiments have been done in which all of the chemicals theoretically needed for life have been involved in the experiment, in complete form. Guess what? Nothing happened. No life, no signs of life, and no observed potential pathway towards life, just as it is beyond the domains of our planet.

aliens outside the galaxy don't matter because we will never meet them, apart from perhaps andromeda. but even then we will need to gtfo to avoid the quazar which will happen when andromeda arrives. The number of stars in the galaxy is in the high billions, but its finite, and a miniscule fraction are capable of hosting a planet that can host a civilization. I only listed two of the most probable variables, the liklihood if a star like ours and the star having a solar system like ours are probably the most favourable probabilities in the whole set you need to create a civilization, and already its 1 in 10 thousand. That's not even mentioning the full list of requirements fir the star like existing in a goldilocks zone of star density and metallicity etc. When all the biology stuff is stacked on top it becomes clear that we could be the only civilization in the galaxy. Just look at the history of Earth, for starters the fact that it miraculously retained a liveable temperature for its entire history despite the growing luminosity of the sun. Its so improbable it begins to feel like grand design.
