    I vote no. I treat aliens like I treat god, ghosts, and angels. Show me proof and I'll believe.

    Hugh!

    Why are there no "don't know" or "the fuck prompted this?" options?

    Don't limit me, man [-X

    Yeah, I would like a "who cares" option.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    You should care that there just may be some alien out there hearing your request to re-issue Benny.

    I like the the other options ideas stated so far but sometimes a limited choice is more challenging so I voted "Yes" based purely on the basis of S.W.A.G. (scientific wild ass guess).

    First off, because Paulonius Maximus Flavious (I hope you don't mind the embellishment P!) did not stipulate "intelligent life forms" and, biologically speaking, an alien is " is a species introduced outside its normal distribution" AND considering there are 30 billion planets in our galaxy AND over 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, I'd say the odds are pretty darn good there are aliens out there. >-)

    Show me some evidence and I'll gladly embrace the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In the absence of evidence, I'm going to assume that the universe is so vast that for me to even hazard to guess on something like this would be rather arrogant.

    They exist. Some force of God or nature created the universe and only on Earth did life develop? To me that is a ridiculous notion. Of course there are other forms of life out there.

    Now, have they visited this planet? That is a different question.

    It's pretty damn arrogant of humans to think that we are the only intelligent form of life in this universe. However, I would choose D. I don't know for sure, but it's likely other intelligence is out there, if they haven't visited Earth already.

    I believe we will find alien lifeforms within our own solar system some day.

    I understand how vast the universe. I'm open to the thought of there being something else out there. But until there is proof, I don't believe anything else is out there.

    You really have to think how lucky this earth was in order to not only be able to provide life, but take that bacterial life and let it evolve to ultimately us. That is going to be incredibly difficult (obviously not impossible) to duplicate somewhere else in the solar system. One degree more on out tilt, and we don't exist anymore. That is just one example of how we are cosmically lucky. (Is cosmically a word?)

    Apparently so!

    Yes, science tells us the odds are super slim in terms of evolving the way we did. How odd that our human behavior seems to dismiss that incredible good luck.

    Sorry- that's one of those wet blanket statements so I'll wish all you aliens a good day anyway!

    Life comes in many different forms, and I'm sure evolved under completely different conditions, possibly in ways that we cannot even conceive, elsewhere in the universe. Just because something didn't evolve in a similar way to humans doesn't mean it lowers the chances of Alien life being out there.

    Last12, think about this though, if the odds of intelligent life are a gazillion to one thats still good odds if there are a million gazillions of worlds in the vastness of the cosmos!

  • PJ_SoulPJ_Soul Vancouver, BC Posts: 50,568
    Yes, and they have visited Earth
    To me, it actually seems like there being no other intelligent life in the universe is a literal impossibility just by virtue of the vastness of universe, and factoring in the fact that we know almost nothing about it.

    I absolutely think we are not alone.There is a fuck load of universe up there ,and to think we are the Earth has the only living things????Not buying it.

    I'm still trying to grasp the notion that we humans are considered "intelligent".

    There is way too much space in the universe for aleins to not exist. I do have a couple questions: Are they also water/carbon based with the same basic idea of DNA like us? Or if they evolved using some other type of 'building block of life'?
    Are they more than just simple single cell aliens?
    What is their intelligence level?
