Do you believe in alien life?

Do you honestly believe that there is no life in this endless and vast universe?

Considering the vastness of space and the gazillion stars being in it, there's a probability of life existing somewhere else than earth.

Every day that passes with no confirmations of alien life, lowers the possibility of there even being alien life.

It's a possibility, but I believe they'd be nothing like us.

Think about it. Think about all the strange things (accidents if you will) that occurred in our evolution to make us what we are now. The fact that we have to inhale constantly to live. The fact that we have to eat other organisms to survive. The fact that every species has two sexes that are required to get together to reproduce.

Extra territorial life will most probably not share all of those charismatics.

You choose perhaps the most basic things that almost all life on this planet does
I would hazard a guess to say if there was life in this universe (thus shares all our laws of physics)
These things would be pretty standard

The perfect time for this.

I certainly like to think alien life exists somewhere out there. In the end it'd be more interesting and plausible than Earth being the only planet to harbor any kind of life.

*Unless the universe and everything in and without revolves around Earth which I suppose is also interesting but less plausible.

All life on this planet does that because all life lives on this planet. We all start at the same origin in the end here. We all live in the same atmosphere thus evolve to survive in it. It was only recently that the idea that all life needs sunlight to live was dismissed due to the deep sea findings. What's not to say they'll find evidence that there are alternatives to other believed necessities to life?

Seriously, you guys would make pretty poor scientists with that attitude. "Yeah, that's the undenyable, set in stone, no questions about it fact. There's no point in searching for evidence to say so otherwise, or even considering the possibility because it's crystal clear fact that this is the 100% correct." is what I get from a lot of OT.

No 

I'm pretty sure only 1 out 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets have life.

I'll just leave this here

Definitely, somewhere out there, but not within our range of vision yet sadly.

Alien life of any kind: Definitely

Intelligent alien life: Less likely but with the size of the universe I still pretty much have to say yes. Have they made contact? I don't think so.

I do not believe that it is or ever will be possible to travel distances great enough to encounter alien life. But I do believe that alien life exists, mainly because of recent evidence that proves the existence of life forms that are not based on carbon.

It would be hard to imagine with all the planets out there, that Earth happens to be the only one with life. So, in other words, yes.

[QUOTE="Zeviander"][QUOTE="0rbs"]There are trillions of grains of sand on the beach, does that mean one of them is intelligent?0rbs

yeah but my pastor said that's because it's god's will.

You believe everyone this man tells you? just because he preaches to the cult?

Nope. Might as well believe in fairies and goblins if I didCapitan_Kid

It's definitely possible. It seems unlikely that Earth would be the only planet in the universe with life.

:| Really? Mankind literally has just dipped it's foot in the vaste ocean of the universe.. Do people realize that there are estimated of at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe? The Milky Way galaxy alone has some 100 to 300 billion stars out there.. That is one galaxy..

Yup.

Until an actual living alien species appears right in front of my eyes and I'm not dreaming, then I will.

you must be blind

no proof they exist.

It's not being self absorbed. It's a disbelief of what is nothing more than a giant assumption. An assumption with flawed reasoning that could be used for anything.Capitan_Kid

If life can happen here, why can't it happen somewhere else?  Without resorting to your book?
