I'm sure there are numerous instances of near death experiences as well as planet destruction throughout history. I really do believe it's miraculous that nothing happened.

I'd suggest that perspective is backwards: If anything had happened, we wouldn't be here discussing it.

Also why I disagree with the notion of only looking for life on planets meeting criteria like Earth.

and if anything had happened it wouldn't have mattered anyways because no one would have been able to do anything about it anyways.

Hence why it doesn't bother me... impact event, alien death ray blowing up Earth (ala Death Star style), etc. It'll happen fast, I won't know until it's too late, nothing you can do, best to enjoy this life while it lasts... By the way, life is not short, it's the longest thing you'll ever do.
