[QUOTE="Harte, post: 218959, member: 443"] I think it might be possible. Just want to point out that the last time I checked, most of the planets in their systems' "Goldilocks Zone" that have been found have orbits VERY close to their stars, and those stars are red dwarves. Planets in those orbits are almost certainly tidal locked with their stars and therefore wouldn't have a climate amenable to the development of higher forms of life. Not to mention the comets and asteroids that aren't deflected by any gas giants or moons. I also want to point out that both Mars AND Venus are in the "Goldilocks Zone" for our Solar System. In my opinion, life that has evolved higher intelligence is extremely rare in the universe - for these reasons (and others.) And, because of the amount of time involved, speaking purely statistically one could conclude that if such other intelligent life HAD arisen somewhere, in all probability we have missed them because they are long gone (or have yet to evolve.) One fact we do know, it takes millions of years for even a relatively intelligent animal (like Homo Habilis, for example) to evolve into an intelligent species like ours. Another thing we know is that EVERY species that has ever existed is destined to become extinct. What we don't know is how long an intelligent species can exist before extinction, and whether such an extinction would mean the end of intelligent life on a particular planet. After all, Habilis went extinct but Homo Erectus lived on. Harte [/QUOTE]
