THERE'S NOBODY OUT THERE PART II

This is a response for those people who commented on the earlier post "we are so alone out here".
Let me expand on that thought.  There are so many galaxies out there which have so many solar systems and in turn have their own planets.  Google the "Drake Equation" for the numbers (it staggers the mind).  Biblically I do not see anything wrong with thinking there are people on other planets.  It'd be cool to see them and such an event would really confirm religion.  But the problem is that space is big... really big (thank you Douglas Adams for that point).  I believe that there is so much distance between here and there that we will never know of eacth other until we die... and then I hope the Lord lets me see these places.  There is no way for us to see or communicate with any other lifeforms out of our solar system.  That's kind of frustrating but it is what we have.  Maybe God knows that since we can't play well with each other in our own sand box nothing good could come out of bringing in two sandboxes.  My thoughts!
