Do you believe there is life other than life on this planet in the universe?

There is a very high chance that there is

Yes of course, the universe is way too huge for there not to be.

I think life is just something that happens around stars. So I'd say there are countless worlds full of living things.

Most definately yes, may not be as "advanced" as us or could be so highly evolved we look like pondlife, but there is too great a probability that life exists somewhere else in the universe in some form.

I'm not really sure. I believe in guided evolution though (that God did the big bang and guided evolution) so I guess its plausible.

Yeah, I don't think we've had contact with them or that they've ever visited Earth or anything though

Yes, I think there is life on other planets, micro organisms at least.

King Gizzard
12-03-2012, 09:54 PM
I doubt we ever will have contact/them come to us, just because they're not human, doesn't mean they magically/mysteriously neccessarily have far more advanced technology then us

daniel-lewis-1985
12-03-2012, 09:59 PM
Yeah. I also think that there was human life on earth just like us millions of years ago that got wiped out just like we will and the whole thing will start again.

The universe is to big for there not to be other life out there. There has to be bacteria or plants atleast.

Alot of people say nothing could live on certain planets but just because we couldnt doesnt mean another life needs oxygen or cooler temperatures or the same conditions we need to survive.

I could go on about this forever lol

No, I don't believe in that. That's the Adam and Eve bullsh!t.

I think you may be a touch confused. Adam and Eve is religion. Intelligent design is a force that guides evolution.

Can I ask you why you would accept evolution, but believe that it needs to be guided by god?

I don't think so. Intelligent design is the Adam and Even argument I think. Its something separate. I know what you mean, though.

And it's because I find it too bleak to believe in a world where my existence is essentially based on chance, and that when I die, everything will cease completely. That terrifies me. That and, I think evolution is slightly inadequate as a theory on its own. The idea of things gradually coming into being is a bit too simple for me.

Believing that a higher power guided it all fixes those issues for me. It just makes sense to my mind.

Why not? you have mayan civilisations, atlantis...Who knows what else disappeared when the continents split. Have you ever heard of the Philistines btw?

Marsh.
12-03-2012, 10:54 PM
I'm sure I learnt at school there were some scientific facts and evidence to suggest it was impossible for humans to exist before the dinosaurs. I can't remember what it was exactly, it's getting my research juices flowing.

You do realise Atlantis is not a proven fact?

You are right. The atmosphere was very different than it is today, and there were no mammals around at that time, either. A species like ours, evolving from apes (who are also mammals and as such didn't exist then either) would have been eaten in seconds.

These civilisations can be measured in thousands of years past, not millions.

A good question would be if we think there is a higher intelligence in the universe besides ourselves. To that I would have to be Undecided. But yes, I'd say life in some form exists away from our planet.

You provided a link to a 12,000 year old skeleton. What's the purpose?

Its a springboard...as long as you stick to academic sites the purpose was to highlight how WE evolved.

I always thought it was quite foolish to think that we are alone. We'll never know in our lifetime for certain but I always imagined there being a number of planets just like ours somewhere with people and animals that are more or less like us who are probably pondering the same thing.

Well if we don't make the developments today then the results won't be rewarded later, will they?

If everyone had the lazy attitude of not bothering then we'd never develop over generations to the point of discovering anything. If generations of the past had simply said "Artificial light doesn't exist so let's get over it" we'd still be using candles.

The First People is a term I got from a Tv show that pondered the existence of humans before the dinosaurs. Nothing to do with cavemen, that came after.

Yes because out of all the planets in the universe I find it very unlikely that Earth is the only planet with life on it.

Boothy

I think the universe is far too big for us to be the only life forms. Even if there's just some micro-organisms or something, there has to be something else.

CharlieO
13-03-2012, 07:19 PM
I don't believe that there is even life on earth. I believe its all a manifestation of somethings mind or the extent of the universe is just an illusion.

Humans as well as other living things can evolve.

Maybe back then we could survive on the conditions on the planet but millions of years on and after a huge climate change humans have adapted/evolved to survive in these new conditions.

I love astronomy!

I'm undecided because so far we can observe about 13 or so planets and lots more moons like the ones around Jupiter, but only one of them we have so far found life on, the Earth. Statistically that does make life very very rare based on only a fractional sample.

If they find some sort of life on Mars, microbial or whatever when they eventually go there, then I'll agree that there must be loads of life but if they don't find anything on Mars, then I reckon we're very very special indeed and it's possible no other life exists.

That's not how evolution works. Humans are mammals, and we know that mammals didn't exist back then. If/when we become extinct, there will be evidence left behind of our existence. There will be fossils, buildings, and things like technology, but there is no fossil evidence of any kind, and it is simply impossible.

Except history and science tells us we didn't come along until long after the dinosaurs became extinct. There'd be human fossils from those times if what you're saying was true.

So, even if humans existed back then. They would have had to become extinct before appearing again after the dinosaurs, not evolving. Yet, there's no evidence to suggest such a thing.

Except the universe is much bigger than that so you can't use statistics to make such a claim. 1 in 13 planets out of how many?
