I recognize I have to be very precise when saying things at this forum.
Any time you're talking philosophy or science, this is the case. How long did it take you to realize it?
Yes, I should have said fit instead of unfit. The bottom line is that that only place we know of in the entire universe that is fit for life as we know it is planet earth.
And this might mean something... if we already knew that Earth was the only place in the entire universe that harbored life. The crucial point is that we know so little about other places in the universe that we shouldn't overstate the rarity of life.
But since you mention life as we know it... what if we found (not even necessarily) intelligent life elsewhere with a different chemical basis? Your statement would still be correct, but I presume your motive for stating it would have evaporated.
I may not know as much about science as you know, but I do know the Divine Tailor is the author of the details you seem to be so knowledgable about. For Him I do speak.
You say you know this. I would like to know how you came to acquire this knowledge. That is, by what method do you discern truths from falsities, facts from mere imaginings? When you make a proposition, is there an observable (not only through sight, mind you) test for determining whether it is false or possibly true?
Furthermore, regarding your final claim, how could an observer of your behavior and speech tell you apart from people with certain mental health problems?
