Wow, now that is the arrogance I refer to. Why here and only here? Do you 
mean that any other entity on any other planet in this or any other galaxy 
is denied salvation because that is what it sounds like. It seems that you 
are saying there is no life anywhere except on the Earth when admittedly 
there is little evidence either way (the prevalence of basic organic 
building blocks in space is highly suggestive) but statistically the chance 
of the Earth being the only island of life in a universe sized sea is so 
slight it's not really worth considering.

Also why such obvious and childish facetiousness? Obliquely suggesting that 
I am some kind of nutcase who thinks he can travel between galaxies and 
visit other worlds, such a thinly veiled ad hominem attack does not enhance 
your position by a single iota, much the opposite in fact.
