yes i do and this is probably how they look like somewhere

It would be arrogant to think there wasn't any other creatures out there in space. It would be like taking a grain of sand from the Sahara Desert, examining it under a microscope, finding one single celled creature and then proclaiming there was no other single celled creature on any grain of sand in all the deserts of the world.

Of course there's life out there. It would be dumb to assume otherwise.

I do think that in some far away galaxies different kind of life exists. If it was possible on this planet, then it will be possible on others given the same criteria. Recently it was discovered that they are 800 galaxies behind our milkey way. The sheer amount of stars increase the possibilities, of course. But I don't think they've got in contact with earth.

Umm the OP said it.. and it is fact.. so there really is no need for this thread ;p ... In an infinite universe, of infinite possibilities, infinite combinations.. It is absolutely inconceivable that there is not other forms of life out there. The human brain cannot even begin to fathom the size and scope of the Universe. and that is the known Universe. Even me now thinking I understand, I don't. It's really fascinating stuff.

But my answer would be yes. Obviously.



Even statistically it's impossible for there not being other life out there. So yes.

Have they visited us? No, for the same reason. Assuming it's at all possible to make these kind of trips through space, they would be very lucky to have stumbled upon us in the first place, complicated by the fact that they would have a tiny window to visit us alive; if they were here 100,000 years ago, they missed us, if they are here a 100,000 years (or much sooner even probably) in the future they also miss us. And a timespan of 200,000 years is absolutely nothing.

Yes. Meeting them however it s completely separate issue. I think unless we have some sort of technological breakthrough, we won't journey beyond our solar system ever.



Hmm, pie.

more than in any god.



Yes, i do. I think aliens are what the bible refers to as our god.

Actually I find it hard to believe that people on the earth is remotely close to be the most advanced civilization of the universe. So if humanity was able to go to the moon and explore/collect information about other planets it's almost a given that beings from other planets came at some point.

 

Now I do agree that they probable don't care enough about us to come every day like some people think. I mean... Why would I watch ants the entire day?

Why did we go to the moon? Because it was the brightest and closest object we could visit. We hadn't even discovered the last planet in our own solar system up until a few weeks ago. There are billions and billions of galaxies in this universe and within these there are billions of billions of stars which could have planets. But you can't even detect those planets unless you're really really close to them. So unless you're telling me that those aliens have discovered how to break the laws of physics there is 0 chance that they have even noticed our galaxy, let alone our solar system. Them finding us by chance even if they were already in the same galaxy would be like winning in the lottery a million times in a row.

Next step is time. The existence of our planet in time is about a tiny fart compared to the age of the universe. And an even smaller fart of that fart is the existence of life on this planet. And now take an even smaller fart and that's humans. And modern humans with radio technology are an even smaller fart of that. Our first radio signals haven't even penetrated our own galaxy yet. So we aren't even detectable yet outside of this galaxy, no matter how advanced and how physics breaking their technology is. That doesn't make our radio signals faster. So to actually find and contact us they must've been in a very very close proximity to pinpoint us of about 100 light years to actually discover us within our lifetime. I'm not even taking into account that it's impossible to track a single ray of electro magnetic power is even detectable among all the other radiation in space unless they know our exact frequencies. And even if they detected us it would take another hundred or thousand of years to actually reach us. Those time frames mean nothing in the vastness of space.

As far as we know there could've been a trillion of other species in this universe who all died out a million years ago.

I'm not even gonna start about the big impact it would have had if aliens discovered life forms on this planet. Since they're technologically advanced that means they have scientific minds, which means they would study us, terraform the planet or do whatever, maybe place us in a zoo or leave gigantic monitoring equipment.

So no, anyone who has an idea of how big space is and has only the slightest regards for the laws of physics knows that it's practically impossible for an alien race to have visited us. Maybe if we survive a few hundred million years we will be able to meet some aliens outside of our galaxy.

 Actually the cosmic evolution of heavy elements took a while and we are at the beginning of the unverses life span. We very well could be one of the early civilizations. Just look at a life span of a red dwarf star they can burn for hundreds of billions of years yet the universe exists only 13 Billion years.

We are as early as can be, as it took some time for the universe to cool of and to create heavy elements.
