Aliens may exist but contact would hurt humans: Hawking

well DUH!

Why do you post stuff then go "." ? You remind me of the people that go "discuss".

If you make a post at least put forth your own thoughts on the matter.

Fascinating feedback there

I love that the OP has a banner for www.2012-comet.com on it :lol

2 sequels to Independence Day possibly in the works.

why does nasa waste money on trying to find ET life?
what does it achieve when we do find them?
in the short time that humans have left on this planet i doubt we'll come in contact with any life with comparable intelligence to humans

If you look at the math, its absolutely staggering at the number of earth-like planets that theoretically exist. Even at most, CONSERVATIVE estimates, based on the randomization of planetary systems, there are approximately 25,000 planets in the universe that are identical to Earth. Using non-conservative estimates, they go into the hundreds of thousands-millions.

And of course they haven't 'contacted' us because of the immense distances.

If anyone needs a reminded of the magnitude of the universe:

Personally I think the Universe is crawling with life.

Yes but they don't have GOD so they don't exist

Agreed.

Life on other planets prove just how amazing the design is!;)
/sarcasm

Yet in his teachings he never happened to mention ET :P

time to go play mass effect

of course we are not alone in this universe. I can saw for sure alien lifeforms would need some source of fuel to power their lifeforms as we do food and air. also they will be a dominating force if we do encounter them because the theory of evolution says the weak die off and the strong flourish. these aliens would look for ways to promote their own well being regardless if that means helping us or killing us.

i say my curiousity for the encounter of these aliens outweighs the dangers that may be posed onto us in the case of encounter.

it doesnt have to be traditional green men to be considered "alien" though

the smallest living bacteria on another planet would be enough, and the odds of somthing like that seems very likely

So you enjoy being a native indian? (referencing the OP :haha:)

Why the hell does it bug you if I put "."?

True. There's speculation that there are bacteria, possibly 'sea' life underneath the thick ice layer in Saturn's moon Europa, near the moon's core, which acts as an power source.

Scientists have long thought that the sun is a requirement for life, but recently that has been disproven with the discovery of extremophiles in sub-terranean caves. These bacteria thrive on geothermal activity in pitch black.

If we could find life in the form of bacteria in these moons, it would probably be one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time. Not to mention the philosophical/religious implications would be huge.

i wouldn't mind alien government support =P

GOD put them there for us to find

OH SHIT..

CARDASSIANS.


but on a more serious note - what if these alien lifeforms exists not in our visible spectrum, but rather in some other reach of the electromagnetic spectrum? What if what they view is tangible is actually a solid to us and vice versa?

:fuuuuu:

It's right there in the bible! At least it will be, when it happens. We'll have to find out which parts to twist and reinterpret to suit our needs. PRAISE THE LORD~!
