Like what, PROOF?


Exactly!

Everyone knows if you drive safely the accident rate will go down.
No one believes if everyone drove as safely as possible, there would
be no accidents.


"Everyone knows" is not proof. "Everyone knows" that green m&ms make you
horny. "Everyone knows" that bad things happen in threes. Common
knowledge is not a reliable indicator of fact.

The proof is there in the incredibly long statistics, that the 3
certain things I mentioned could not be true.


Sorry. Statistics attempting to demonstrate something "could not be true"
are no proof that it is true.

If you had a good knowledge of how life can develop, and how
resourceful intelligent life is, and just how many planets there are
in the Universe for this to occur, Monkey Boy would know I was simply
stating the obvious.


Again incorrect. The "obvious" conclusion is that there is no other life,
since you can demonstrate NO evidence that it exists, other than your
conjecture that there is a lot of space so other life "must" exist.
Conjecture is not fact.
