Alien beings??

Do you believe there is life on other worlds? Not just some germ or bacteria, but advanced life forms. I think if some advanced beings have ever came to Earth and seen how s c r e w e d up we all are, they wouldn't even bother stopping to visit.

No, I do believe there is some germ/bacteria out there, but the chances for any real "life" to form like us are just too slim for any "advanced beings." Still, there is no real "estimation" as to how big space really is, then of course, what's beyond space?
Though if there happened to be advanced beings, I think they would definitely stop. I think "our screwed up" would be far from the twistedness of whatever those creatures dish out to each other.

I find it ridiculous that people believe that life evolved by chance here on earth. Now are they going to take it one step further and say that it happened again on another planet???
I see a small problem................

I recently watched a show with some of the greatest science minds living today giving some good arguments for it. Your qualifications that make you an authority to find millions of people and these great minds rediculous would be what? You don't have to answer as I already know what you are going to say and we don't need to hijack the thread.
It is possible. With literally billions of stars like our sun that have planets, to think that we are the only life in the grand scheme of things IMHO is pretty naive.

I don't believe in aliens, ghosts, bigfoot, the lochness monster or any other fictional creatures. Sorry.

How does anyone know though? We are too focused on what can be proved. There are many things yet to be proved. We only know what has been, not what could, or could not be. I am not saying for or against this argument, just that we do not know the unknown. When the unknown is known then we will know. Think about it.

well one thing we know for sure.
there are billionsx100000000000 + other stars out there and even more planets orbiting those stars.
I think there is a pretty good chance we are not the only living intelligent creatures in this very very very large universe.

Naive? Yes, there are billions of galaxies in the universe, and within each of these are billions of stars. Billions x Billions of possibilities. Still, the chance of one supporting life is next to zero.
You have to have a planet with the right size star that isn't too active spewing off lots of radiation
The planet has to be just the right distance from the sun so it's not too hot or cold
The planet must rotate so that the sun doesn't torch one side
The planet must have the correct atmosphere to both block out harmful radiation from the sun but also hold in moisture
The planet must be plentiful in water and other elements necessary for life
etc.
etc.
These are just a few of the many necessary conditions for the simplest lifeforms. Now, for a planet to have an evolved lifeform this planet must be stable for billions of years and must sustain a multitude of other conditions for evolved species.
I'm not saying that it's not possible, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. I'm not being naive, I'm being reasonable.

even if the chances are 1 in a gazillion that would mean there are more then likely millions of suitable planets out there..
We know for a fact it happened once, cant be to hard to assume it may have happened twice .

Does anyone on here watch UFO Hunters on the History Channel?
I think its a decent show on the subject. On one of the episodes they were investigating an abduction somewhere on the E. Coast of a husband and wife. Theyre both dead now. The woman asked the aliens where they came from, and they showed her a star system. About 5 to 10 years later scientists discovered that star system. She drew it to a T.
That kind of stuff is hard to argue with.
And I've known a few people who are relativly sane who have seen UFO's. A few of them seen them up close. Its kinda hard to belive that 3 people would be wrong on what theyve seen.

Thinking that out of billions of planets and stars we are the only life form is similar to thinking in the 1400's that the world is flat. You don't know until you explore.

why couldnt bacteria, and all that jazz evolve to withstand a hostile atmosphere?
Theres shrimp that have evolved to be able to live in a volcanic/sulfuric atmospheres. Everything else will die if they go in to it.
I cant find what theyre called, but I know I've seen it on the Discovery Channel, and I'm pretty sure most everyone has.

That analogy of the earth being flat is a perfect example. We have only known (as proof) that the earth is round for a little over 500 years and people thought the sun revolved around the earth. When we look back to those people just 500 year ago, it's seem laughable that anyone could have believed that.
Now maybe 1000 years from now our descendence will be sitting around watching the galaxy olympics on the stellar jumbo-trons on one of the orbiting space stations in another universe with Gardnox from the planet Ortis and someone will bring up the idea about how just 1000 year ago people believed no one existed anywhere exept their own planets. Too bad we won't be here to know for sure. Well, I will be because I will have been reincarnated many times by then. Just not sure which planet will by my home planet then. But that is for another thread (or a past one if I remember right).

Will an alien abductee please post and clear this one up.
Why in God's green earth would an alien with so much technology be afraid to be seen by mere humans. This one seems stupid to me. If we travelled bazillions of light years to find life on another planet I GUARANTEE we would be in their face saying "see what we can do." Besides, we all know that aliens would be killed by the commom cold virus if they did set foot on our planet. (sarcasm)
People like to have something to worry about and alleged alien abductions just gives us one more.
