Extraterrestrial Intelligence
”All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force..We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” ~ Max Planck - Quantum Theory and Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.

Re: Extraterrestrial Intelligence
At our level or below, it's inevitable and common in a large universe -- we can know this from evolution and the state of other planets based on astronomical observations.
We can't necessarily make any presumptions about there being extra terrestrials of higher intelligence, though: we have not yet determined whether intelligent beings typically kill themselves off before ascending to anything more.
Of course, we're also our only sample, but we can only reasonably assume our state and that of our planet to be average for one of this age.

Great thought 
Would you agree that even if we are that small in this universe, we are not insignificant ?
