Is There a Higher Intelligence

Is there a higher intelligence than our human one? The odds are favorable for its existence. The universe is immensely vast and really so big it defies our imagination. Conditions for life are extremely rare. Most of the universe is actually quite hostile to life, but in a few places, because of the enormous size of it, life can develop. It is not believable that this occurred only once, here on earth. At the odds of a trillion to one, for example, there would be still billions of stars with the conditions needed for life, so chances are that intelligent life also developed elsewhere is a viable hypothesis. Since the level of intelligence varies greatly in the human population, there is a distinct possibility that there are beings that have a greater intelligence than ours somewhere in the universe. This is a reasonable conclusion we can make because of the observation of the vastness of the universe and the fact that intelligence evolved here, Now let us stop here. There are no further observations that we can apply. Any ‘conclusions’ about an Intelligent Designer or Aliens are just unwarranted speculations. To think that an ‘Intelligence’ existed before the universe was created, does defy logic. Why would a ‘designer’, outside of the question, where did he/she come from, create a Universe which is 99.9999…% hostile to life? Why so big? One solar system would have been sufficient.
The notion that Aliens exist is far more plausible as we have outlined above, but to speculate that they are here and flying around is, so far, without any real proof as well. UFOs are unidentified, that’s all. The facts are that because of the limited light speed and the fast distances the probability that any of the UFOs are alien spaceships is very low and until we have definite proof, we must discount the possibility. To day it has become a very profitable industry to make us believe they are here, but there is no factual evidence to that effect, so let’s not jump to conclusions.
