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.

It is obvious to me.
What would be obvious to you Paul?

..The "obvious" conclusion is that there is no other life, ...

If this is what you believe I'd love to hear your proof!

I didn't say that is what I "believe." What I believe is irrelevant to what
I can prove. I cannot (and obviously neither can you) prove that there is
any life in the universe other than on Earth. Therefore the ONLY conclusion
possible is that life "may possibly" exist. The conclusion that life
"obviously" or "definitely" exists just because you think it should is
erroneous.

P.S. Asking me to give proof that something does not exist is a logical
fallacy.

you. ob·vi·ous (adj.) Easily perceived or understood; quite apparent.
