Anyone believe in aliens?

Following on from a discussion on another thread, where the subject of space travel was touched upon.

Does anyone here believe in aliens?
I don't mean just 'life', as in a plant or traces of something. I mean actual other life forms similar to that of humans?

Based upon the number of planets that there are potentially across the universe and the conditions required for life (as we recognise life) then it's pretty much nailed on that there will be.
Will we ever encounter it though is another question.

I'm of the belief that the universe is just to incredibly massive for there not to be intelligent life that has evolved on other planets. Now the likelihood of contact is incredibly low due to the vast distances likely involved.

Also, considering we are talking about a universe that is billions of years old, the odds of 2 civilisations capable of even attempting that sort of contact actually evolving at the same time are probably even lower still!(considering we have only had that type of technology developing the last century after several thousand years of human civilisation).

I'm of the belief that aliens, disguised as human beings, have been living amongst us for decades

Mike Ashley?

You watching Men in Black last night by any chance?

I've got the box set...

Without doubt living amongst us, gathering information, in preparation for an invasion, once their resources have been used. It goes way back though, ancient evidence suggest alien lifeforms exist, you just have to look at the numerous cave drawings, paintings like the 'The Madonna with Saint Giovannino', carvings & other records throughout ancient history.

The scale of the universe, as we know it, is impossible to actually comprehend. We still don't see the light from some stars that died millions of years ago, it's truly profound and mind-boggling. To assume life does not exist elsewhere in our own galaxy, universe and all the possible dimensions that may exist around us, that our own senses and technology cannot perceive, is profoundly benighted and ignorant. I sway on the side of the universe teeming with life of all forms and possibly so unusual, interdimentional and bizarre, we may possibly not be capable of comprehending.

Basically, there's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man

I'm with everyone else, the universe is too big for their not to be something out there, don't think we'll meet them for a good few generations yet (if ever)

Highly unlikely, life being on one planet is a statistical impossibility let alone being on two light years apart.

Life being on one planet is a statistical impossibility?

The chances of it happening are so slim it's deemed to be impossible, odd considering it has but we're talking 1 in 10^127 here.

Yeah why not. Just not in our galaxy.

I'm serious, it's about time people started to wake up & realise this.

I think there will life on another planet somewhere, but not necessarily a civilized society.

Like us then?

If there are any odds at all of something happening then surely it's possible?

In my opinion there is definitely life similar to humans in the universe.

Gandhi said something similar about Western civilization lol

Is any sort of life an alien, not a green man with big ears? If so, then there must be, somewhere. The size of the universe is too big for there not to be.

I think imagining aliens as just two legged green humans with bigger eyes shows a bit of a lack of imagination.

When you can convince me that Aliens are smart enough to enter the Earth's atmosphere without burning up..

I'll believe they exist..

I was hoping they would be

I'm confident there's water somewhere else, so there has to be some creature.

And yet we're here aren't we? This sort of erroneous use of stats has been used by the intelligent (now, there's a misnomer if ever there was one) design crew in the past.

I'd say it's a given that's it's either out there somewhere now or has existed in the life of the Universe to-date. Will we ever find any? Who knows but I'd be interested to see what comes of all these so-called Earth-like exo-planets that're increasingly being described.

Exactly. Life cannot be a statistical impossibility. The very fact that there is life, precludes it.
