Ghosts or Aliens...Which one is more believable to you?

Aliens are pretty damn close to fact already. Will the human race survive long enough to ever meet any? Who knows.

Ghosts. I've worked in the funeral home field. I was nervous about ghosts at first but once you see dead people everyday it just becomes normal.

You see dead people!!?

I completely believe in aliens. Ghosts I am a bit more skeptical about.

Neither but aliens would be cooler because I want an Asari waifu.

What are we using as the definition of "aliens"? That term could mean:

1. Any life elsewhere in the universe (i.e. bacteria)

2. Complex intelligent life that have formed or will go on to form civilizations elsewhere in the universe

3. Extraterrestrials that have visited Earth and have come in contact with humans (i.e. UFO's, abductions, working with governments, coverups)

Depending on which of those definitions you use the odds vary immensely.

1 almost certainly exisits (> 95% chance)

3 almost certainly doesn't exisit ( << 1% chance)

2 is the wildcard. Its the one everyone wants to know. I'm of the opinion that there are probably other civilizations out there, BUT they are far less frequent than what might be expected given the size of the universe. They are far from an absolute certainty anyways, and due to the of the size of the Universe they will be impossible to contact.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]Just to put some perspective for you guys.. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the earth.. Thats right, more stars than all the grains of sand counted individually.. Each star may have upwards to 100 satilites around it with planets and moons.. junglist101

I'm sure the possibilities are endless. But to me, they're meaningless until I see proof. I felt the same way about black holes until proof came along:

I still want to see "living" :lol: proof of life on another planet. Even a single live microbe will be enough to convince me. Otherwise, those who insist life is unique to Earth won't shut up.
