Do you believe alien life in the universe exists?

[CyberCubed]

I do. Given how vast the universe is and the billions of planets there are, there obviously has to be life out there. Even if it's just bacteria or insects or sea creatures.

Now whether alien life is intelligent and have visited Earth is another story. Given people say real aliens are those gray beings with the big black eyes, at least we have an idea of what they look like.

What about you?

[Slade]

Should have put a maybe in there or something.

I view it like this:










..........(guess I still count Pluto)







Anyway, from what I have been taught, is that there is only life on the blue square, but that only takes up a small spot in the rest of that blank space, so why should there only be life there?

[CyberCubed]

One solar system is not the universe. We've already discovered similar Earth-like worlds out there that orbit a star like our own. We just don't know if there's life on them.

[Slade]

I know that. I wasn't going to put a crap load of squares.

[Prowler]

Some form of life? There has to be. Now, intelligent lifeforms and as advanced or even more advanced than us? Until I see evidence I won't believe in it. Oh, and if there are such lifeforms no way they're green men with big eyes trying to take over Earth like we see in movies. And I doubt they all have the same flying saucers(if they have them, even).

Why can't they be more advanced than us? Their civilization could have begun millions of years before ours. While the dinosaurs roamed the Earth they could have just begun going into space.

Not all life begins at the same time. Aliens with millions of years of a head start over humans could have discovered light speed travel. Just think of how advanced humans might be if we're still around 10 million years from now.

Not saying it's impossible. Just that I gotta see it first to believe it.

[BubblyShell22]

I didn't vote because there wasn't an option of "Maybe" on there. I do believe it's a possibility, but there has to be proof first before I'll believe it.

[Candy Kappa]

Of course there is other lifeforms out there, and if they are more advanced on a technological level is really subjective. We aren't all that advanced as we still use fossil fuel and haven't gotten any further then just sending rovers to Mars.

Or if other lifeforms even see the need for technology in the same way we do, its all speculation.

[CyberCubed]

Not to mention there probably was alien life out there in the past that has long since gone extinct. Imagine if creatures like dinosaurs existed on another planet but no longer exist. Even if we just find their fossil remains it would be an astonishing discovery.

Everytime they send a rover to Mars they keep hoping to find a fossil of something or some bacteria. It would be amazing if it happens.

[Wingnut]

To think that something, someone, somewhere in the Universe didn't beat us to the punch on this whole "civilization" thing seems like a mathematical impossibility.

It took the best minds of humanity 40 years to prove the existence of the Higgs particle, we have a LONG way to go before we're the "cutting edge" of the Universe folks.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Do I believe there to be other life out there, sure why not

But do I believe that other life or "ETs" have traveled billions of light years to Earth just to stick stuff up our a$$holes? F*ck No! :lol:

[Luigiperps]

Yes. There are all these planets, all these solar systems. If there is only one planet with life, is be shocked. But I think that all species are at different levels. Some may be more advanced that us, some less.

[Jester]

I believe YOU exist...so I guess.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

When mankind has discovered life on other planets than Earth, I would not be more confused than when there were discovered planets around other stars than the Sun.

[Dirty Blond]

Humans were created by aliens to mine for gold.

[AT-Man]

There most likely is life on another planets, but it doesn't matter the slightest. No one's ever gonna interact with them, and even if did, we'd probably be poisonous to them or vice versa.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Do I believe in life on other worlds? Absolutely. We are NOT the only game in town, astronomically speaking. The universe is too big a place for us to be unique. And yes, some of it would almost HAVE to be sentient, and even more advanced than us, just from a mathematical perspective alone. That, and I've seen some stuff that convinces me there IS intelligent life out there, and that's why we haven't made contact yet- they have SEEN us, and want nothing to do with us! :trazz::tlol:

[LeonardosBane]

When you consider the vastness of just the visible universe, it seems pretty unlikely that, even through random chance, we are NOT the only planet in the universe that has life on it.

Personally, I think life is much more common than we've ever imagined. There's probably bacteria/microbes seeded throughout the solar system. Life likely didn't start here, but rather, was brought here.

We'll almost definitely find examples of life in our solar system. Obviously not advanced life, but still life. Heck, for millions of years before Earth did, Mars had a habitable, Earth-like surface.

There's likely lifeforms that we can't even begin to imagine out there. Both way more advanced, and way more primitive than us.

Do we think that the UFOs documented are aliens, or something else?

Maybe they’re actually Russian. Rachel Maddow would certainly love to cover that story.
