Do ET's exist?

Let me see now, believe something that can’t or hasn’t been proven to exist…hmmm.

Maybe they do…maybe they evolved from, oh I don’t know…fish, lol or…or maybe monkeys?

Do they have fish in outer space?

The Drake equation says that ET's probably do exist. Intelligent life that is at or past the Radio wave generation level is debatable however.

Probably, we'll never know though...

At the very least, our own governments will hide the facts from us.

Could you imagine what would happen if the government disclosed classifed information that ET's do in fact exist and have visited our planet many times? What if those stories of abductees really is true...

The simple fact that they exist, and could abduct anyone at any point while we could do absolutely nothing about it... that'd just scare the toejam outta everyone and anyone.

I doubt any countries government would want their people to know.

Ok, let's assume they do exist. The cultural and philosophical differences will probably be too different for us to understand them and even understand they are intelligent. And I don't speak about the probability that either Us or Them can ever meet, or even exchange information.

Leinster's "First Contact" was a very nice story for mid-40s, but it's hard to imagine species from different planets to understand each other.

The best study of a "contact" problem in a popular sci-fi book was made by Stanislaw Lem in "Fiasco", his last big fiction work.  It's the book that sums up all his major novels like Magellanic Cloud, Eden, Solaris and Invincible. Agreat novel and unfortunately not as popular as his other books.

LOL! this is some rich material. yeah, apache- you see beings can only evolve from fish so unless they have fish on other planets i guess you are right. damn!

guess it is just us all alone with an angry god after all. he created all this universe just to hide around this one little rock and fuss over us and make sure we spend our days acknowledging his 'superocity'. what was i thinking!

Exactly what I meant! ;)

Idea for a sci-fi novel: different alien races contact with different nations that are "culturally" closer to them, maybe Russians, Arabs, Chineese, Americans and Germans. Or just  "europeans", "chineese" and "moslims" - this will be even better.

I believe life exists on other worlds, intelligent life most likely. Hell I think there is a chance of life on Europa for instance under the ice. Most likely will be an algae or lichen of some sort.

Of course they exist!!  And they're working with left-over Nazis', the Rand Corp and the UN to take over the world!!!!

Quote
"...Another figure has an EVIL face... 'HE LOOKS LIKE A GERMAN NAZI. HE'S A NAZI... HIS EYES! HIS EYES. I'VE NEVER SEEN EYES LIKE THAT BEFORE!!!"
 
The above quote was made under regressive hypnosis by one of the first publicized 'UFO abductees', Barney Hill who -- along with his wife Betty -- claimed to have been abducted by grey-skinned entities from a space craft which apparently originated from the Zeta II Reticuli star system. The Grey alien abductors were obviously working with the human military officer who was encountered by Barney. This military officer was apparently a full-fledged Nazi, although this incident took place over 15 years after Europe had 'supposedly' been de-Nazified. This quote can be found in the paranormal encyclopedia "MYSTERIES OF THE MIND, TIME & SPACE", p. 1379.
 
Those who are familiar with the connections between Nazi's and UFO's may find the following document easier to accept than those who have never been introduced to the reports of secret Nazi aerial disk experiments, much less reports of their secret collaboration with the so-called Grey aliens years before the corporate-fascist infiltrators and sympathizers within the U.S. Intelligence Agencies began making their own treaties with these same serpentine 'aliens'.

Let's see if I understand the reasoning in the following statement:

"If God exists he doesn't take an active role in life."

A statement commonly used by atheists to throw doubt on the existence of God.  He doesn't take an active role in our lives therefore he does not exist.

On the other hand, God may be a Gentleman, and is too polite to interfere in our lives.  As an atheist, you don't want Him telling you what you can and cannot do anyway.  The Ten Commandments may be His attempt to help us keep from screwing up our lives.
