What if we are really alone in the Universe?

Asked by RocketSquid (3483points) April 13th, 2010

What would it mean for us on a philosophical level if we somehow proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Earth is the only planet in the universe to harbor life?

Would we be vindicated in making whatever changes we wanted to whatever we wanted? Would life become that much more precious? What kind of changes would there be in how we view our place in the universe?
