Are religious topics not taboo?

Well, if not, I'll use this thread as a base for alien discussion, which does tie into it all. Here's the go of it. There are 200000000000 Stars in the Galaxy, most of them have more than one planet orbiting them, our's has 8 (if you count Pluto), so, we'll try an average of 1000000000000 planets in this Galaxy (all the systems would need 5 planets, not that much, any system could handle it). And use that as the middle ground for the minimum of 1000000000000 galaxies. That's 100000000000000000000000, or, 1 septillion. At a rate of 1 sentient race per 1000000000 planets, that's 1000000000000000 sentient races as an overstatement. This is in the whole universe. The likelyhoods in this rather overstated estimate, while exaggerated, still hold acceptible merits, we can safely assert that somewhere, there has been at least 1 race that has acheived equal intelligence to ours.

God! I hope there isn't one that developed an intelligence like ours. Based on the stats it's likely there is some form of life, and that lifeform is aware of itself.

Any particular reason why we "wouldn't" count Pluto?

Any particular reason why we "wouldn't" count Pluto? Some astronomers consider Pluto an asteroid and not a planet. Or a part of the Oort cloud.

Wow, I didn't know that, I've been out of school for too long, I think!

Another point is the moon of Pluto is nearly as big as the primary. It's called Chiron (I think).

I thought the Bible mentioned God creating man. Dioesn't say he didn't zap a few other races into existence too
