The Fermi paradox, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, refers to the apparent contradiction between the vast number of potential life-bearing planets in the universe versus the apparent non-existence of other alien species. The problem confounds atheist scientists who believe that in our own galaxy alone:
- There are billions of starts similar to our sun
- Many of these stars will have Earth-like planets
- Some of these planets will contain life
- The universe is so old that some of this life must have become sufficiently advanced to develop interstellar travel and be known to us
With all these factors considered scientists believe there should be countless numbers of nearby civilisations, but the question still remains; where are all the aliens?
Of course, according to a Biblical world view this is all very easily explained and no such "paradox" exists.
