Agreed. I kinda suspect the universe is teeming with life (ie. Drake equation) even if it’s mostly simple, unicellular-type stuff

Of course, Einstein also gives us reason to suspect we may all be simply too spread out, too isolated for much contact to ever occur anyway

Wow. Considering other parts of the universe are millions of years older than our galaxy and the vast amount of stars and most likely planets out there I simply cannot believe we are the only intelligent life (besides you). Maybe there are other organisms out there trying to communicate and travel to find other life that just haven’t been successful.

I believe in the big bang. I also believe the universe will stop expanding, black holes will eventually swallow everything up including other black holes until the last one collapses on itself and the next big bang begins. How many times has this happened or has it even happened? Nobody knows.

I always wondered about other species and life since i was a kid. I was thinking about our earth and how many natural remedies to sickness/disease there are with eating different kinds of plants and animals.

What if the remedy to human disease are in another planet or even this planet. What if we found that if we ate a specific berry in gliese 581g that it could cure cancer. Or if we ate the flying buffalo from that planet it provides you with extra strength or whatever. who knows.

We are still discovering what the earth has to offer whether it is new species of life in the water or mixing different chemicals. Who knows what can happen if you introduce new chemicals found in other planets or food from other planets what could be the result.

we cant even travel at the speed of light yet. WE still have not reached the deepest parts of our oceans yet or understand it and we are worried about a planet 20 light years away? [/quote]

Yeah, theoretically, but we have seen 0% of life on any other object besides Earth.

We haven’t even scratched the surface of planetary exploration.
In this case, statistics are my friend.
Also, just because we haven’t seen other life, which can also be argued(UFO sightings), doesn’t mean other life hasn’t seen us.

Well right now you are basically trying to prove a negative. With statistics, common sense is my friend.

Your third statement baffles me. So because something could have seen us (which we have not evidence of) there is life on other planets?

I would think that an alien species would be from another planet, where do you think they would be from? Assuming we’re continuing the hypothetical here.

Gee, if your just speaking of hypotheticals, UFO sightings could be future versions of US. I mean, that is what Steven Spielberg tried to get across in Taken so why would there have to be Aliens if UFO sightings are real?

We assume there may be life, but maybe life itself is such a fluke or “force of nature/God” that this is the only planet it exists on.

110

Read what you wrote

I’m saying that with billions of stars, and billions of planets, that yes, aliens most likely do exist. Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

They could be. Maybe that’s why they don’t interact, if they did then could wipe themselves out a la Back To The Future.

Again, I’m saying that even if life is such a fluke that with billions of opportunities(I don’t think anyone can argue that there’s probably billions of planets out there), that life can exist somewhere else other than Earth.

Decent information about possible number of planets. Purely hypothetical but still.

Wait, are we going to use empirical evidence here or we going to use non-empirical evidence? Because, the whole just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist…doesn’t really fly. Well, just because you can’t see unicorns doesn’t mean they don’t exist…see what I did right there.

I believe in God, so I don’t believe empirical evidence is the only thing you need. However, you can’t pull out empirical evidence to disprove my common sense, then say your common sense disproves my empirical evidence. You should probably stick to one or the other. Common sense tells us that we haven’t seen alien life, we haven’t felt it, and there isn’t a gut instinct that there is alien life. So, common sense would say that we are the only life (besides something that might have single-cell organisms) in the universe.

Statistically, Earth is an anomaly, we are in a place that is so hostile to human life it is a surprise we are still alive. Now, why in the universe, just because one planet has life on it, would you think there is aliens on another planet?

This whole thread is pointless. We’ll all have nuked each others brains out on this earth before we come anywhere NEAR traveling to another hospitable planet, let alone understanding one.

Whos to say an all out nucular war has never happened in the past? what if it did? what if there was advanced life (more advanced then us now) on earth long ago and the sun died out, then new life emerges over time, and then it dies out again. Whos to say the sun has not died out over and over many times in the past? we repeat the cycle over again. hmmm??

Once again, the hilarity oscar goes to… the christian who claims with a straight face that probability for alien life is so slim he disproves the idea while a cross-shaped object with a miniature dead man dangles around his neck!
You can’t make this up:

Not that’s a proof for god -the known gut itch!
I’m gonna send this to a hundred people!
Who needs a HH with gems like that!

Back to the thread

It’s actually not that hard:
If there is no life or they’re dumber then us, well, it’ll be hard to find them at this stage. We have to wait decades, perhaps hundreds of years to find a few primitve cells. If at all.

If there is intelligent life AND they can travel around the galaxy in style, it’s highly improbable they would communicate with us.
They could have millions of years on us. The intellectual gap between wombats and humans could look like the average vegan next to Ronnie Coleman.
Why should they care? And every interaction they’d chose to undergo wouldn’t require some sort of human formality. They’d send some nano drone through a wormhole or whatnot to gather all the data they’d need in a split second.

Best case scenario, as far as I can tell: If ET noticed us and won’t kill us because of our apparent shortcomings or enslave us (you know, like WE do with dumber animals) , they’d ignore us or study us in secret. That means we’d still not notice them.
In your face, Fermi!

118

Maybe… aliens dropped off the first organisms on the planet so that they would have a place to inhabit a few billion years later so that would mean we’re derived from aliens ourselves… Ya never know… :slight_smile:

119

Oh here we go again with the “Why are we here” crap.

It will take millions of years to deplete the earth of it’s resources.

If you believe in evolution word for word, you’re a racist, and you think black people are the lowest “evolved” form of human… right next to native Americans, middle easterners, and other people who aren’t white. BTW, Hitler LOVED every bit of evolution and used it to further push his agenda. Don’t like to bring that up now do you?

The entire theory of evolution is the problem with humanity today. You wonder why so many people commit suicide nowadays! Tell them that there is no god, they only exist to work, eat, sleep, reproduce, and that if your a color other than white, your’re the closest thing to a monkey!
