Proof? You are correct. There IS no definitive proof. And there is an
profound and readily apparent reason fot that- if you only reflect.
Intelligent Life ouside this nearly infinitely tiny region of the Universe
exists in abundance......extreme abundance. Millions of years ahead
of your species, and likewise millions lagging. The time for complete
and total exposure and introduction is fast approaching- before you
jesters completely destroy yourselves with your phoolish Pride and
pathetically unjustified Hubris. Prepare yourselves with a healthy
mind and body. There will be astonishing opportunities for the
meek and kindly. What have you done for your fellow earthlings
lately? Mostly a giver? Mostly a taker? The answers to these two
questions will be transparently apparent when the time comes.
Starting to feel guilty and frightened? GET TO WORK. IT IS NOT
TOO LATE.
