Er, I mean Microcosmologist. Reading this makes me think of how the formation of life is a combination of the random and the intentional. Earth just happened to be the right distance from the sun and have enough water along with many other factors that make it hospitable for life to begin. And then evolution did its work to form varying species with many different adaptations and levels of intelligence.

I agree that we are too geocentric. It is highly unlikely that we are alone, but as far as we know, life is an aberration. We were lucky enough to be the products of being in the right place at the right time, but who is to say that is has to be carbon that drives our companions?
