A Thought For A Thursday

Today’s thought is being brought to you by:  God, Tuna, Kittens, and Readers Like You.

As I was pondering the meaning of existence, (because, you know, it’s Thursday,) I stumbled across a thought that I found particularly amusing.  It goes something like this:

Gliese 581G’s reality as a planet is not confirmed.  However, it is the closest extraterrestrial body we know of that could support life similar to the kind that we have here on Earth.  So, if Drake’s Equation has a positive whole number answer, and they happen to be living on Gliese 581G, do they think that our existence is not confirmed?

That would be silly, because everyone knows that we exist.  Right?  Just a thought.
