        I'd hold those comments. Science geeks will argue that you need water to sustain life.

        I'm on your boat, though, feeling that carbon dioxide could also be used to sustain life and that we are limiting ourselves to our system of life.

        I think that we are just being egotistic and ignoring that life out there could work in ways we don't know or could ever imagine.

        But, it's always met with an argument on the subject so I try not to say too much about it anymore.

              I will believe to my dying day that we're not alone. We can't be, I mean the universe is far too immense and infinite. The thought of us being the only intelligent life is in some ways very sobering and kind of sad.

              BTW I believe that life will be found on Europa before i'm dead.

                I just hope I'm still around to see a day where we find life on another planet.

                  Someone once explained infinity to me as, "Go out to space...and you hit a wall, but what's behind that wall..etc..etc."

                  That's put in very simple terms, but it just hit me. Space never ends.
                  Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                        Then try thinking about living for eternity.

                        When you really think about it, it's a crazy feeling.
