I WANT to believe!

How arrogant of the human race to believe that we are the only life in the universe..I think about the infinite possibilities out there and wish I could know in my lifetime what other beings reside in a galaxy so far from ours. Would they be like us? Would they be little green men that Hollywood has imagined for so many years? Would they be intelligent beings? And I wonder if they also have a bible..lol Would they be a peaceful society? Or maybe their "earth" is newer than ours and they haven't invented a wheel, or fire yet.. :)
When I look up at the stars at night, it literally takes away my breath. When I watch shows about the planets, they have my undivided attention. It just amazes me that every little planet in the sky is as big as our planet, or bigger. It amazes me that they have sent Rovers to Mars and I have seen the red planet up close and personal. It looks like Arizona or something..lol..I wonder what it would feel like to stand on one of those planets and watch our sun rise. Scientists are researching other planets to see if they will be able to support life..our life..so one day, when our planet is no longer habitable, they can start shipping humans to this new planet. I wonder how long it will take for that to happen? Every generation discovers something new and it makes me sad to know I won't be here to see all the wonderful discoveries. I picture Venus as HELL. It is the most violent planet with it's massive volcanoes. I picture life under the seas of Europa, and hope they explore this moon before my life ends. There are so many possibilities...and they excite me to no end. I want to believe... and I do! :)
