Is the absence of known ET life an argument for God ? - Page 2 - Religion, God, and Theology

You might be able to make a stronger case for a God, if we found out we are the only 'Life'. It would be really depressing to found out in this huge universe that we are the only 'Life'.

What do you find depressing about this thought?

I think us(humans) being the only 'Life' in the universe would be lonely.

Considering that amendment, wouldn't you say that the larger a space is, the larger the chance that something exists in it is?

If not, why is that a fallacy? (I'm not necessarily saying it isn't a fallacy)

Sure....but having more bites at the apple doesn't say anything about how hard it is to actually bite the apple.
