UFOs - Are ALL these people crazy?

[CannonFodder]

There is no empirical evidence to suggest that there are sentient lifeforms other than humans in the universe.

There is none to suggest the inverse either.

Actually, there is a flipside argument also that leads to the exact opposite conclusion :-D

Have a look here for an overview of the "Rare Earth" hypothesis.

It takes the same basic pretext as the Drake equation, but adds a lot more parameters. As with any calculation based on factor multiplication, the probability falls off pretty quick.

I'm not saying which one I go for; each argument has its merits and weaknesses.

As a Muslim shouldn't you believe that there are other worlds? Afterall, Allah is the Rabbil alameen isn't he? ;-)

I do believe there are other worlds. I can count at least 7 more and god knows how many minor ones within our Sun's heliopause alone.

So "Lord of all the worlds" means just of the planets, and not of inhabited planets?
