It'd be pretty big of us to think that we're the dominant species in the entire universe and likewise it'd be big of us to think that our planet is the only thing inhabited out of a speck in a very large amount of black space. Heck, the way I see it...with the stuff that goes down daily in the world...if there really is a superior intelligence out there...then they really are for NOT contacting us. Seriously...if you were to walk in on Earth the majority of the way it is now, would you stand for some of the stuff if you had better?

That could be one reason we haven't heard...course they might not exist either but...I dunno, read or watch Contact. Yea, I just put a thing based entire off of science fiction into a conversation...but it punches some good points too and how close we might just be (or, conversely, how far off we really are). I just figure if we ever did get contact, it'll be a War of the Worlds like rampage and they won't be ignorant enough to die because of the thing that kills us, disease...but I dunno...maybe the whole benevolence thing might work out too.

No proof that intelligent life exists just like the fact that there's no proof in the fact that there are higher beings that command faith or that the laws of science as we know them today are 100% complete assured fact. There's a strong possibility for almost anything really...so why not other life and other forms of transportation and whatnot? We still know literally zero about everything in this world as there is anyways (yes, we've come a long way, but it's miniscule in the grand scheme of things, if you take evolution into account)...that's why we have science and religion to explore the large scale of what we don't know and put faith into the fact that hey...there might actually be a possibility that everything that I was taught might in fact end up to be false. Got to leave your mind open for the fact that some day something might drop from the sky that might leave some consequences in everyone's wake that no one expects...and no I'm not talking about Armageddon either...

So yea...I think they exist...I just think that we might have to wait a while for there to be any type of contact inbetween. I mean we figured the world was flat a long time ago and it wasn't...and there were people over yonder...why not aliens or ETs or whatever in the boundaries of space?

UFOs? Sure

Aliens? No

Supposedly, crop circles are supposed to be signs of extraterrestrial life forms, yet people have been caught making those. Movies/stories/media have hyped it up way too much.

In other words, we have a cold war with aliens now?

Heh, thought I do still wonder about the oppesite. If we discovered a stone age civilazation on one of the planets, and the planet is rich with resources. What would humans do with this alien-civilization that hadn't got nowhere yet?

For the record: Crop Circles are bullshit.

Search around the net, I've seen shows and documents, and seen machines on how they make such things.

I truly don't believe aliens enjoy coming down to our planet and making nice little designs.

Anyone who doesn't believe in UFOs is a dumbass, yes, I'm generalizing. Basically anyone who doesn't know what that stands for .

E.T.'s, I really don't know, nor care. I mean, it's not like it's going to harm me within my lifetime.

Watch, tomorrow there will be an alien invasion.


I believe in extra-terrestrial life, mainly because I couldn't imagine the same substances used to create the Earth couldn't be used somewhere else in the universe. How advanced their brains are, I do not care. But there are bound to be other cellular organisms, and ones with organ systems.

And then there's the other universes to think about. There's no possible way we could be the ONLY life forms capable of thought in all of existance. No way.

You hit the nail clean on the head. All that supposedly-infinite space out there, there simply has to be others. For that matter, if the universe is truly endless, there must even be duplicates, for there is a limited number of combinations of everything. (Don't bother trying to count it, though. ) The question is, are they ever going to contact us? Not likely. The universe is too big for most people to comprehend; the distance from here to the sun alone is so long that it takes 8 minutes to cross it at the speed of light. (Yes, that means it takes that long for sunlight to get here. That's one of the biggest problems with long-distance space travel - radio signals only move that fast, eliminating the possibility of real-time communication.) Now, our studies have shown that there is no intelligent life that we can see on several, if not all, planets in our solar system. (Or so we're told, anyway.) The next solar system is a HUGE distance away. For any race to get here from there, they would have to be far more advanced than us, and then surely they'd be able to hide their presence, if they even wanted to come here. Why should they, when we're so primitive compared to them? And of course, it's just as likely that they're no more, or even less, advanced than us, in which case they're in the exact same situation as we are.

One thing that kinda bugs me, though, is people who insist that any aliens that exist must be similar to humans. People say that there couldn't be life on Mars because it can't support life. Who says they need what we do to stay alive? It's just as likely that they breathe methane and feed off the sun, or even something totally different you'd never imagine. They don't necessarily have to look like us, either. They could be a different type of being altogether, something that we can't even perceive with our senses. Hell, maybe all the spaceships people claim to be seeing are the aliens themselves!

In closing, I'd like to just point out one fact that people don't seem to be able to understand: ALIENS NEED NOT BE HOSTILE. I hate how that War Of The Worlds thing went and screwed this up for everyone. It's much more likely that any extraterrestrial intelligent life that we should meet would want to befriend us, or even just leave us alone and/or study us from a distance. Just because aliens come here does NOT mean the Earth is going to be destroyed!
