Aliens

[changed]

Do you believe in aliens? I think aliens exsist because Space is so vast and huge that i believe it would be impossible for there to not be life out there. Now do i believe that aliens are comming down in flying saucers and abducting us (well no). But do i think that there is some other type of organism out there? Yes.

[The Silver Bullet]

Pretty much what you said. There has to be at least some form of life somewhere out there, even if it is just a micro-organism. Europa perhaps?

[SpecialInterests]

Definitely. How could there not be? The oppurtunities seem endless. I believe there is species out there right now far more advanced than ourselves. Humans are just taking their first steps out of the jungle, really.

Earth is stone age (probably) compared to some other planets. We are still fighting against each other, and imagine if we all got along. Then we would all go towards more technology. There's probably a whole galaxy that communicate together, give each other resources, cooperate, etc. and we are just sitting here...On our little planet

Comets and Meteorites have been found to be carrying organic molecules and compounds. A theory is that life on earth was sparked by meteors crashing into the planet carrying organic molecules carried from the far reaches of space. We also already have hints of microbial life within our own solar system beyond earth.

Hate to get all religious, but my religion teaches that 144,000 people will rule as priests and kings with Christ in the heavenly government (bringing the rest of mankind into perfection after the destruction of all things bad including death) for 1,000 years. What about after that time? The Bible doesn't specify and my religion goes no further than what is Written. But, to my line of thinking... after a long, long time Earth will start getting crowded. It's my personal belief that the anointed ones (the 144,000) will help create planets that can sustain human population. I try to imagine what such worlds would be like. Would they be cookie cutter shaped "Earth's" or would they be unique and add to the joy and knowledge of perfected mankind. I try to imagine world's completely alien from our own (i.e. a green sky is still a SKY and mushrooms may grow enormous but they'd still be mushrooms or "trees") So..... long reply short... I don't think there is currently any life out there (not intelligent life anyhow), but I think the possibilities for the future are endless.

I agree with most of what has been written. Definitely. How could there not be? The oppurtunities seem endless. To be fair, you also have to acknowledge how incredibly unlikely it is for life to form in the first place, though.

[dajo]

Yes.... But do you know how many stars there are? Well, not precisely, but I'd imagine quite a few. Both, number of stars and chances of life being created, are pretty mind-boggling.

[Jesus of Suburbia]

If we're the smartest things out there, then there's something wrong. I've actually calculated the probability of there being life somewhere in the universe. I got to about 1,000,000,000,000/3,000,000,000,000 before I just gave up with those ridiculously high numbers. I'll use a calculator sometime and figure out the actual probability. Also, Drake's Equation anyone?? And also, no. I do not believe that aliens are coming to Earth. It is a definite possibility, but probably not.
