We live in a really fascinating time. Pre filter I would say.
The way the numbers crunch, more and more, people are beginning to not simply believe that other life/civilizations could exist, but given the scale of the universe they do and must exist.
Which puts things in a strange place.
It's a place where without evidence people are coming closer and closer to 100% assurance that other civilizations exist while at the same time coming to almost the exact opposite conclusion about a God/creator being.
As folks begin to view time as almost limitless, they begin to take very unlikely events and turn them into pretty likely events.
Unlikely + huge amounts of hard to comprehend time= Likely
I thought the article was great. Lots to process.
