Just a Thought

So, the other day I read in news that Steven Hawkings (world renowned physicist) said that it is likely that primitive life may exist in other areas of the universe.  Then he went on to say that the likelihood of intellectual life is very unlikely because the occurrence would be very rare.  

Let me analyze this...

Scientist predict that there could be 5 -100 million different species on this planet.  They have only identified 2 million. 

Dr. Hawkings, says that the likelihood of intellectual life would be very rare.  So, alone the human species would be a rare, spontaneous event, and that's not including the millions of other species on this planet.  Plain and simply, even Steven Hawkings says that spontaneous intellectual life is not likely to occur.  Interesting?!
