I'm not just talking about microbial life I'm talking about intelligent life. E.T. if you will. We've all seen the ufo videos and to be quite honest it could just be technology that our government's are expiermenting with. So outside of the ufo stance and some of the alien videos we've seen on youtube (which are all probably hoaxed). Do you beleif in intelligent life? Other than us of course.
Of coarse..there has to be. We have only been around for 2,000 years. The Universe is billions of years old....there has got to be life somewhere that has been around for alot longer then us.

The modern human species has actually been around for about 130,000 years.. Agree with you, though, there's gotta be life out there.
I think it would be hella cool if we found an abandoned civilization on a planet before we found life.AAllxxjjnn
Yes it would. I believe there's still a chance that life exists IN our solar system. Mars could have underground water systems, they may have life. And Titan has frozen water as a surface. Some scientists believe that nearer to the core of the moon, where it's "hotter" there may be liquid water that might have life.
Life,yes...Intelligent life,maybe but not in a way we understand probably,like a dolphin,they are highly intelligent and I do not understand them....humanoid life we would likely recognize not imposible but highly unlikely.

Actually, fossil records say it's 200,000 years.
Yes but those are not anatomically identical to modern day humans. Just very close.
Statistically the odds of some form of alien life outside earth are extremly good.
Lord-Nerevar
Speaking of statistics. I was watching the universe ealier (this is what got me to write the thread), this guy came up with a formula for the amount of possible life in just the Milky Way galaxy and went out to millions. Now if you include plate techtonics, planetary habitable zone, planets like Jupiter that block astroids and gamma ray bursts the number goes down, Can't say exactly of course.
this planet earth we r on now, was created by another fireball , basically a fireball planet crashed into our planet, then all the extraodinary events took place like snowball earth, where as the earth was in total ice and the microbacteria managed to adapt to the temparatures and climate, and plus all of the chemicals being released from the clouds and the hot water in the sea. and the microbacteria managed to survive in the sea off the suns heat and shine , as the sun was shining the bacteria in the sea released chemicals wich travelled through the land and gave all the bacteria on the land something to evolve on so after time the planet just evolved into earth with the bacteria evolving into animals and multiplying, and so on wich created more other things such as trees

Yeh, i remember seeing this movie "alien's of the deep", and they talked about a possibility of life on that moon. That would really be mind blowing. Kinda like when people found dinosaur bones, but way more amazing.
I think so. I also think calling ourselves intelligent is premature.DigitalExile
I realize that we as humans have done some uh, for lack of better words, ****** up **** but I would consider us intelligent. But why do you think its premature to think so?
dude theres been many people who claim to have been captured by aliens, and most of these ppl who were asked to give descriptions, just so happens that the sketch's that researchers have gotten from all these different people happen to be very similar. not to mention theres just been so many sightings, commercial airliner pilots have claimed to have seen UFO's before, and there as credible a source as any.
Absolutely, with an estimated 50 billion stars within our own galaxy its pretty likely other life exists within our own milky way. As for the billions of "star bearing" galaxies it would be insane to say there isn't at least 100s probably 1000s or planets that bear life past the micro-biological phase of evolution.

Because it's all about relativity. We might be the most intelligent (depending on how you define intelligence) on our planet, but compared to alien races our intelligence might be compared to animals--plants even--not even on a level of being associated with the ability to think.
the universe is 4.5 billion years old. something has to have developed in that amount of time. But life could be grass or plants too.MyFingerPoints
Actually the universe is about 14 billion years old from our perception of time, and our own planet is roughly 4.8 billion years old through carbon dating the oldest rocks found in colorado, and ireland I think (that location may be wrong) but yeah 4.8 billion plus or minus a few hundred thousand years from the dating on that granite.

True. But a race has to start from somewhere. If an alien race was looking over us and seeing how we evolve you don't think at one time they were the same war torn corrupted species? You don't think they would realize any potential in us? At one point they were as low as us.

yes but we've been a war torn species since the beginning of our creation, and we've shown little signs of improvement.
Trillions and zillions (if thats a number) of stars and zillions and bajillions of planets. No way Earth has to be the only planet with intelligent life, if you wanna call life here intelligent. :P

Well that's impossible to say without an alien species to discuss, but who's to say every species evolved as ours did?
I'm not saying they'd see us and tear us apart like a roast turkey, but they might just ignore us.
Yeah, most likely. It's just to big for there to only be life here. Just because we haven't seen any UFOs doesn't mean anything. I don't guess they have either, at least not from here.
