There's a possibility, or maybe that's wishful thinking but still if you look at all the sightings [the ones that haven't been confirmed as fake] and how advanced Technology is getting and the Space missions to find life on other planets...

Wishful thinking? Be careful what you wish for.

Contact with alien life may not be a pleasant experience. Do you think we would hug and exchange stories like long lost relatives? No, if they landed here they would probably be attacked, captured and quarantined. They'd have to be for safety and security. And if we ever travelled out to meet them they'd probably see us as a threat too.

Of course. I can't imagine that there is only us...given how big the universe is :/

Sheer logic and common sense? We know that the Christian God is a belief based on nothing more than Jewish folklore and word of mouth that has somehow survived in the form of The Bible. A highly contradictory text of pure meaningless rubbish that can easily be disproven by a group of eight year olds with a white board and a few Red Bulls on a Sunday afternoon.

Extraterrestrial life forms are highly probable given what we know about the size of the greater cosmos compared to our one planet. It doesn't give one a carte blanche to then allow all other things to be possible. If you work on that hypothesis then the Christian God has an equal chance of existing as Spiderman does, based on this tired idea of 'well if you can't disprove it it could exist!'.

Yeh like the ones walking around in human form that is what the debate is about. if you believe in that then everything is possible

No ... it's not. That's a nonsensical belief. So if I believe in intelligent life then it is possible for me to stop bullets and fly?

Bloody 'ell.

Actually, that is not what the debate is about. The debate is about alien life forms existing - elsewhere outwith this planet that we live on. The only person banging on about them being in human form - is you.

Science has yet to prove other life forms exist if they do who created them. Can you prove the universe was created THROUGH science, no one can.

Why don't you reply directly to what I wrote for a change?

Of course they can't prove what created the universe yet. Science has not evolved that far yet. But that's the beauty of science. It evolves. It gets bigger and better every day. Unlike religion which shrinks further and further into embarrassment, mediocrity and improbability. Your first mistake is assuming the universe was created. Beyond that ... if God created the universe what created God? And if he could exist of his own free will free of the constraints of creation then why can't a scientific explanation? Where do you draw the line from where science stops and becomes a 'god'?

This especially holds true if you believe in deism which I think is totally necessary. Believing in a God theory is all fine and well, but believing in an active, omnipresent God who interferes in our lives is just absoloutely absurd considering you must inevitably reach the conclusion that God is a bit of a bastard. So - if like a deist - you believe in an inactive, immaterial God that is merely a 'force' ... at what point did it stop becoming science and start becoming 'God'? Can it not be an as of yet unfounded 'science' to the universe?

Pray to God you find the quote button next time.

How can you be sure it will evolve forever where is your proof.
Yet Satanism becomes more and more popular each day, so do we call that religion. quote button just for you.

I always get hard for Shasown's inevitable 'fuck you, I bet you didn't know about this!' long, intelligent post .

[joeysteele]

I don't believe we are the only planet in the Universe/s which will have life on it, what forms other life may be is obviously unknown but then we have many forms of life on this planet.

We in our lifetimes are extremely unlikely to ever learn if or where other life forms may be but its a fascinating subject to dwell on.

I wish he would just show his damn face. Instead he toys with me in the shadows knowing full well my massive, herculean ability to outsmart him.

I also see you have discovered the joys of the double italicizing trick, Simon. It's the future of bypassing swear filters!

I know i will probably get some harsh posts my way for this but i honestly think there is more chance of a different realm (spirit world as people call it) existing than god.

Do i believe in intelligent aliens? Yes i do.

I'm with that too..... it just seems such a complete waste of all that is learned, all that knowledge gained over all the years, to be lost.

With the amount of galaxies out there then there is something than us that exists. I doubt that they will look different than us.

well they could be billions of years ahead of us or behind us so its extremely unlikely they would look like us!

Plus they could have a totally different atmosphere and climate which would dictate how they look.

That's true.

The thing is that if we ever discover anything out there then religion goes right up in the air. All these planets would never have their own Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or Shiva.

I am of the belief that it would cause more war than anything else on this planet and that's why they keep it quiet.

They laugh at us.

True, I totally agree with you on that.

[InOne]

Who knows? We won't.


End.

Maybe.

This cant be the only planet in the whole universe to have life. Do they necessarily need what we need to survive though? Things live at the bottom of the ocean in what should be deadly conditions.

though i don't believe we have had aliens visit our planet.
