I am absolutely convinced that the Human Being is not the only life form outiwth planet Earth.
We know 'so much' but also know so very little.......and I am most definately a 'believer'. Do you think we are the only intelligent life form as such or do you think there is something out there? |

It would be improbable to not believe in alien life forms. People forget just how massive this universe is. I'm always amused by the amount of people that believe in 'everything happens for a reason cuz' that's what I think' and 'guardian angels' and the like but scoff at the mere notion of other life forms. |

There could be life elsewhere in space but there's no real sign of it yet so no point worrying about it. And if there is life out there we may be best not finding it. They may be bigger, badder and more kickass than us....and prove it. Then again they could be little tiny things that are easy to squash. Really, who knows?
Certainly not worth wasting billions on. Last edited by Zippy; 16-01-2011 at 02:41 PM. |

Yes, the Universe is too vast for us to be the only forms of life within it, it's almost a cert imo

Whilst it seems foolish to believe that the planet Earth could be unique in terms of the development of life within an infinite universe, the chances of contacting 'aliens' seem remote with the level of technology we have at present given the vastness of distances involved.
And I certainly don't believe we're being visited at the moment or that aliens are busy abducting people right, left and centre. |

Also I don't know where you get your statictics from but most people do believe in God. I don't but that is another story. But what you are saying is just riddiculous. |

Er, our planet is BY FAR the most spectacular planet we know of. With its breathtaking landscapes, underwater world and staggering variety of life forms(including humans) I honestly can't imagine a better planet exists anywhere. Other planets are utter shyte in comparison. Mars? pfft if you like red rocks and toxic atmospheres..its a blast.
And we have no God either. That's all in your mind. |

I didn't compare people believing in God to beliving in Alien life form - you did, and that was not the question. A staggering amount of people believe in God, and how many have seen God - but still remain in the belief that he exists - therefore you have offered a completely inane comparison. Because something has not been seen does not mean it doesn't exist. Whether it be God or alien life form. As it happens, I'm talking about the existence of Alien life form. |

We'll find aliens before we find God. I'll promise you that much.

Besides which, the thread is not about God or whether he exists, or is believed - and it's been thrown off topic from what the question was about - Alien Life form. |

There is also a theory that if intelligent civilisation formed elsewhere in the universe, say a few billion years after the universe was formed it would have had time to explore (and colonise?) every part of the universe. However there are explanations, if you read into it, why an alien species would choose (or was unable) not to do this. So I say possibly, but we can't be certain. |

Yeah, I checked Wiki for that number. I knew it was billions of years though.

The way I look at it is: - Who is to say that life forms aren't present in places that are deemed not to have life form. who is to say that what we (as humans) require to sustain ourselves and 'our world' are what another life form needs. We may need oxygen to survive, we may need the plants and foods that we have for us to exist - it doesn't necessarily mean other life forms require anything like that. They may be able to survive in a form and by what is around them, they may not need shelter as we know it, may not need water, may not need 'food' by the things that 'we' class as food. It seems many people base the possible existence of another life form in comparison to what we, as human beings, need to exist. I think to do so is a very blinkered view. |

I think they might exist but I'm not really sure, I think I'd like if they did.

TBH, if there are aliens out there, and in a higher intelligent life form than us - if I were them, I'd be leaving us well alone (for a whole range of reasons!). Last edited by Pyramid*; 16-01-2011 at 03:46 PM. |
