It's a strange universe in here!

Does anyone really think that all of the information about this universe we live in is already known? To declare the truth of the matter to be one way, or the other, indicates a severely closed mind on the subject. I will admit that the evidence does appear to be slim to non-existent, but the same kinds of problems happen all of the time in various fields, like High Energy Physics, and they don't just throw their hands in the air and claim that they know all of the answers because they have found none. The question of whether we are alone in the universe has not been answered yet. Scientist's are researching and spending billions on the search for life on other planets...why, if there is nothing out there would we even try? Answering a question this profound will test the ultimate claim of humanity, and that question is...are we intelligent?
