You can't just use that to increase your probability because it sounds good.
As a friendly debate, why is the possibility too low to be feasible? Or should I say how is it too low?


The idea behind probability is that the higher the number the greater the chance.

An example is you have 5 coins and you throw them hoping two land on heads. You then take 10 coins and you throw them, hoping 2 land on heads. Here, you have a greater chance of 2 landing on heads with 10 coins then 5. This goes back to the alien thing. Based off of the uncountable amount of planets, the percentage of another life for out there is very large.

Oh I know he isnt intelligent, but I meant him typing. I thought it affected reading, not really him writing/typing
