I think the best way to think is to use math, and any evidence that fits the the math.
We know science/math is 99% sure that light has been traveling for 13.7 billion years.
This marks a visible range,. 13.7 x 2 x pi = 86 billion light year circle.
our visible range marks a massive area. 86 billion years in one revolution, but light it self has only been traveling for 13.7
If we look to the edge, we see no stars,. the light coming from them has not reached us yet.
if we put this in perspective , Our own sun is only 5 billion years old, so any life at a greater distance cant see our sun yet. our sun is 1/3 the age of the universe or,. better said 1/3 the age of light as we know it.
we can allso use the math in detail to estimate the average age of planets,. this age is about 6.8 billion years old, our planet is 4.54b and some of the older ones is around 8.3
Since life as we think we know it, needs a planet to grow we can assume that life could not be older then the estimated average planet. will say 8 billion years.
lets factor earths life cycle into this math, 3 billion years for simple life to build into complex life and 0.5 billion to build advanced life.
we would need to minus this 3.5 off of the average planet age of 6.8 this would be 3.3 billion years for the average age of life in the universe.
now lets assume 3 billion years is the time life need to build into complex life,.. this would leave the average age of advanced life to be 300 million years old.
300 million years is much much older then humans , and this would be the average.. there is no number I can work off to find the average life with the ability to travel at light speed..
so lets just use the 300 million years and the ability to travel at light speed,.. we have one galaxy that is 2.5 million ly away and the next is a cluster at 60-70 million.
so life cant see other life more then 300 million light years away.. and here is the most amazing part of this math,. 300 mly distance would be 300 million years in the past, so it promotes a massive problem, and life cant see anything in the present at great distance. so to make the present observable life need to explore things much closer then this,. and the conclusion is any life at all,.. has never left there galaxy.
I would urge anyone to try this math out,. in terms of life it self,. the universe is vary vary young still,. The universe could be chalk full of life but vary rare to have more then one type in a galaxy. All life is blind and there is not a reasonable amount of time passed yet for life to have explored anything besides there own galaxy..
All life right now,. is blind and alone... the universe is young and I'm sure we all have our own idea of a god..
I think there is a god, and its a "she" its mother nature. I do not think religion has anything to do with anything.. if you think we had been made in gods image,. then your right,. we look like nature.
