seriously

Saying that we are the only intelligent species or any kind of life for that matter is really ignorant. Look at how vast and how many stars there are... you seriously don't believe that there can be planets that can harbor life? That's like saying your going to plant 1000 seeds into a field and only one of them will grow....

Considering that we know about how old Earth itself is, that is pretty much impossible

All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.

no i don't, there's just been so many threads on rs with videos about aliens haha

Well, if we learned anything from Columbus and the aboriginals, it's that if aliens come we'll be okay as long as we don't start trading large amounts of land for fire water or some other stupid shit... And even if they manage to take over we'll have tax exemptions.

On a less stupid note, i think it's a pretty safe bet to say that other life is out there, like hawking said, the numbers are just too staggering. I don't see why they would harvest resources from earth though.. If they can travel all the way here I'm sure they can find another earth like planet which is much bigger and has better conditions than ours easily.

We humans are just too naive and self-centered to think that any alien would want to contact us.


If I were an alien and I receive this picture, I would just ask wtf is this shit? Semi NWS (nekkid men and women that's mentioned in OP's post re: Pioneer 10):

Hey genius, there's a reason you don't work for NASA.

belief in aliens to me falls within the same category as religion and conspiracy theories, and 2012

I think it's reasonable to acknowledge the possibility. In that case, it doesn't fall within the same category as the others you listed.

Lol intelligent life in the universe = probability of the right set of variables (which incidently = very high), supported by evidence.

Religion = unsubstantiated bullshit.

There's quite a large difference.

Belief in aliens =/= belief in the existence of aliens.

Show the evidence.

There definitely has to be other life forms outside earth. Earth can not be the only planet out of probably trillions with a living race. Look at all those UFO sighting videos on the net, im sure tons are fake but I bet at least a few of them are legit. People or gods have been mentioned coming down from the sky in multiple civilizations from thousands of years ago such as the sumerians. Lots of depictions have been based on the reptilian race. Either way im sure the other life forms have good and bad agendas for earth. Like someone else said these other creatures could be inter-dimensional and be right infront of us.
I personally think the sumerian civilization has a lot to say

There is no direct evidence, but clues such trillions of planetary systems, water on other moons/planets say something. It's a numbers game. There are approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe. That's approx 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world's beaches and deserts.

It seems a bit weird that Earth is the only one with life. An awful waste of space too in this huge ass universe. Oh hey, and humans pop up 150,000 years after 13,750,000,000 years of nothingness.

BaoXu 04-26-2010 02:45 PM

I said EVIDENCE. Not speculation.

The same could be said for the opposite. Show evidence that they DON'T exist. Just because you've never seen them doesnt mean they don't exist, ever.

kookoobird88 04-26-2010 03:54 PM

The government probably knows for certain if other beings have visited earth, but as if they would tell the public.

so you're still speculating aren't you?

yup. my point exactly.

Belief in aliens seems to mean (to most people) whether or not they are or have presented themselves to Earth in one way or another.

Belief in the existence of aliens is a statistical question. We'll never know, but statistically speaking...

it's funny. only 20 years ago, and you'd be thought a crackpot to believe
now, you're a fool if you don't
IMO, who cares? is it really that intriguing? there is just as much, even more, of the amazing and unknown right here on earth
funny how we always seek outward
