To actually believe, out of an infinite universe, that we are the only intelligent life is just as ridiculous as believing in the existence of a god. Why? Because unlike god, we have ourselves as a basis of proof and probability of existence.

I can believe that it was just luck for our planet to be formed the correct distance from the sun and all that , because .... the universe is just too big , we will never know how big , so a planet like ours was BOUND to happen somewhere

This is a basis for many people, even some in this thread, to do a little spiritual fence sitting. "I believe in a god or a creator, I just don't subscribe to a god based on religious doctrine."
Just because you can not explain something, doesn't mean it must have a supernatural or otherworldly cause at the expense of some omnipotent being.

the power of Positive Thinking, and i believe this has worked for me...and many others
theres a movie on it, its called The Secret.
oh, and after watching the movie i understood more of why i was thinking in a certain way, it came clear. but its hard to always think positive lol

While positive thinking is a very powerful tool for personal wellness it is NOT as "The Secret" portrayed nor as easy. I feel sorry for anyone who swallowed that movie hook, line and sinker. She merely pieced together the bizarre notion of quantum philosophy with the philosophies from several cultures to create a new one for gullible people. The sale of her books and movie made her a wealthy woman. She is nothing more than a modern day snake oil huckster. Read up on the lawsuit that was brought against her.
