I find it hard to believe that understanding the size of the known galaxies, and also taking into account the possible numbers of
planets "infinite" that we couldn't possibly be the only form of life
in the known universe.. Answer any way you see fit not a yes or no question just a topic!

Also a thread to get away from the UN stuff

I'm 50/50 on everything, 50% says "Sure I'll believe it..." but the other 50% says "but show me the proof first". That goes for religion too.

what are you asking me exactly? If there are UFO's piloted by aliens or that life exists outside our planet regardless if it's sentient and/or technologically advanced?

Life outside of earth?....absolutley.

Intelligent life visiting Earth?....I doubt it.

Intelligent life living on Earth? No Way!

Isn't there a crater in your backyard? Oh wait, you're from France

Hmm, time to watch the Conehead movie again!

There is probably other life in the universe.

It probably never visited us.

I agree with T0J0, with the mega zillions of stars out there, the chances of this system being the only one supporting life has to be pretty low. I'm sure that there are species that are zooming around the cosmos at will tho. A species that is intelligent enough to span the gap of space and time wouldn't abduct Cletus from Podunk county and gang probe him. I think that there would be more abduction reports from say, scientists, leaders, artists and the like.

Also, a species that is looking for life probably wouldn't look too hard in this remote arm of our galaxy. We are way out in the middle of nowhere star density wise.

Life in the universe? Certainly.

Extraterrestrial life on earth? Nope.

Where are they? (Scientific American)

The Drake Equation is pretty convincing evidence that life exists.

The very first official U.S. reported (to the Gov't) UFO spotted was IN my back yard (24 miles away)

I would like to know from the religious peoples here how the discovery of extraterrestrials would effect religion as we know it..

no to UFO's piloted by ETs.

yes to life outside our planet. The extent of that life in terms of sentience and technology? no clue. It'd be kinda cool if we were as far along technologically as any lifeforms in the universe, but it'd be kinda sad too.
