It's not dull to me because I see more possibilities in life.

So...you think "God" is fictional for "most people".
Wow...maybe you think life is dull because you do not know enough about statistics.
Anyways...your lists are assumptions and are trite at best.
Good luck with them

Ah...I see. And what would the increase of radical suicide bombers and religious extremists mean?

Well....."Spice things up with Uncle Bens Rice"! TV commercial. Just kidding.
There are so many things we can't see with our limited senses. I think life is absolutely amazing.
Boring people are bored. Try looking somewhere else to get the fix you need. The best book I ever read was "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. It's written in layman's terms. Really changed my perspective on how the universe really looks and works.
Or you could study quantum mechanics.
No reason to rule anything out. If you can't prove that some things DON'T exist, then there is great room for speculation.
Hope your outlook improves.

How would we know? I watched a program on the Discovery Channel that said it would only take 10,000 years to obliterate all evidence of human existence.
Earth is how old? There could have been many civilizations prior to our own that were destroyed by natural disasters and were further advanced. Or they simply left the planet.
I can't answer your question, but I will never say they did not have any special or extra senses. Perhaps an earlier civilization had a different glandular development in the brain that gave them more senses than we have.
Life is meant to perpetuate in nearly any inhospitable environment and science is proving that. Look to our own deep sea life forms and bacteria that grows in both extremes of temperature. This happens all over the universe without a doubt in my mind.
And again, just because we can't see oxygen, atoms, etc., we know its there. What other discoveries are out there that we simply can't see due to our natural limitations.
Remember, humans used to think the world was flat! And the last 150 years has provided humanity its most advancements in our known history.
