Extraterrestrial Life
In an ever expanding universe the probability extraterrestrial life is very possible. It is said by astronomers that there are more planets in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth. The atomists of Greece said that "an infinite universe should have an infinite of populated worlds. Most people have never given thought to the size of the universe, or the possibility of other life. This article is not saying that this other life is like human life here on earth, on the contrary chances are it is extremely different. These other life forms may live on planets with no oxygen, 5 suns, 10 moons, and with the ability to fly for example. The way these life forms view reality must be the complete opposite from the way we view it.
These are some of the possible characteristics of extraterrestrial life forms:

In June 2008, European astronomers discovered three super Earths orbiting what they thought was a solo star. The discovery was good news for the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
Harvard physicist and SETI leader Paul Horowitz boldly stated in a 1996 interview with TIME Magazine, "Intelligent life in the universe? Guaranteed. Intelligent life in our galaxy? So overwhelmingly likely that I'd give you almost any odds you'd like."
Since the chances of extraterrestrial life in the universe is highly possible, this disproves all egocentric religions which believe god created the human race alone. We need to eradicate this self-centered egotistical way of thinking. Obviously there is no God who is watching over the Earth and listening to everything we say and observing everything we do. Life and the universe is so complex that people will turn anywhere for answers just to satisfy there the fact that they do not know what is going on; that still does not make your belief whether it be in Christianity, Scientology, Hinduism, etc correct. We are not alone in this universe and there is much to be learned.
The Universe does not revolve around Earth
