RfRx - Are Humans Special in the Universe? featuring Rob Palmer

This week on RfRx, Rob Palmer questions the uniqueness of humanity. The Abrahamic religions teach that humans are special; we are God’s special creation. Seemingly proving this, of all the billions of species to arise on Earth, only humans are intelligent enough to have created a civilization.  So, in that way at least, our species is VERY special. On this planet, anyway. On the other hand, space is a very big place, and the prevailing secular belief is that many other civilizations likely exist in the Milky Way. Many people even believe that beings from other worlds more advanced than us are routinely visiting Earth. If any of that is true, then we are not so special after all. So, is it likely extraterrestrial civilizations exist?  Or could humanity be alone in our galaxy, and thus VERY special indeed? Bring your questions for Rob, and stick around for the hangout after the show!
