If space is infinite does this not mean that the chances of us being here is infinitesimally small and therefore we do not exist ?.

Surely if space is infinite, that would give us a better chance of existing than if it isn't? Anyway, I think, therefore I am. So there.
I think I am so I must be. Mr woofgang thinks I am too
The chance of us existing is also infinitley large.  Thats the thing about infinity.

It is generally accepted, however, that space is not infinite.  The fairly well proven "Big Bang" theory shows that space had a measurable beginning and therefore, has a measuarable boundary. Anything that has a beginning and a boundary can not be infinite, by deffinition. The boundary, granted, maintains a "stetching out" motion, but a boundary nonetheless...

Therefore, your question is, respectfully, based on a logical fallacy and, as such, is unanswerable...

Take a breadknife and thrust it into your leg, Then tell me you dont exist!
Yes it doesn't.

interesting thing about infinity - one infinite thing can be bigger than another.

there are less integers than fractions; there is an infinite number of fractions between two integers... and an infinite number of integers. so the number of fractions is infinitely larger than the number of integers, but both are still "infinite"

ok bread knife leg thing....thats gna take along time to heal....i believe we are a project put here by aliens except we are in fact the ''aliens'' this planet seems to exsist ok but we dont fit here! we have ruined earth and still are...why can they not find the link between us and animals cos it does not excist we were ''put here''! so maybe we dont really excist!
