Well yes is was just speculation, as is your view of the future, so there is no point counter arguing as we don't know and we will never know because both of us will be long gone. Both of us were just expressing possible scenarios.
I must take issue with you seeing some aspects as arrogant though - it's just a point of view, neutral as far as emotion, and depicts a trend not everything happening the same or on the same timescale.
And regarding the development of science; now you referred to it as the bible of atheists, that is not an accurate analogy as science has no beliefs and is always developing - it does not stand still, no dogma.
Now we could argue till the cows come home about science and the Qu'ran etc and we would get nowhere as we trade blows. However as the Qu'ran is supposedly unchanged and the perfect word of the creator of the universe,
may I ask you one question?
If science were to prove something about some aspect of the nature of life, the universe etc that could not be refuted, proved beyond all doubt - however it utterly contradicted something said in the Qu'ran, how would you be able to square the circle?
Now I know that the Qu'ran is not a science manual and the modern trend of some muslims using it to retro fit new scientific discoveries is a very dangerous game which is very likely to back fire on those that use it thus.
I won't give a specific example but let's say something along the lines of the creation of human life. Now lets not debate what science and the Qu'ran says about this, as I say it would just be a blow by blow fight with no side gaining anything.
I just would be interested to hear about what your thought process would be.
Why did you want to know about life outside this planet? What did you deduce from my answers?

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
