If you still think we're alone in the cosmos...

Best Art in the Universe? Hubble Space Telescope's Amazing Pics From 2010

Check this out!  Make sure you read the captions.  It's even more amazing!

I don't know all that it takes to create an environment to support intelligent life nor do I know the odds of all the factors being in place to create intelligent life forms in a supportive environment.  But I do know people believe, even with about 80,000,000 to 1 odds they can win the lottery (and someone does all the time) it seems almost impossible that we are the only intelligent life form.

Some of the photo captions support this theory:

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the distribution of dark matter in the center of the giant galaxy cluster Abell 1689, containing about 1,000 galaxies and trillions of stars.

Though the universe is chock full of spiral-shaped galaxies, no two look exactly the same. This face-on spiral galaxy, called NGC 3982, is striking for its rich tapestry of star birth, along with its winding arms. The arms are lined with pink star-forming regions of glowing hydrogen, newborn blue star clusters and obscuring dust lanes that provide the raw material for future generations of stars. The bright nucleus is home to an older population of stars, which grow ever more densely packed toward the center.

Of course we are not alone, after all we found life on this planet.
