Do you believe in Aliens ?

One could just replace the word "aliens" with anything not truly touchable or verified, in this realm. Insert Sasquatch, Yeti, God, Muhammad, astrology, ghosts, physics, karma, fate, destiny, magic and on and on and on.
It's really the same thing. Do you believe in something that is not here with us, that we cant see, touch, hear or smell. That's what believing is.....
Do rocks actually cross the dessert? most likely not, but if I could get 10,000 to believe it and they paid for the privilege to hear me convince them, and then each one of them recruited 10,000 people and they paid......and so on....(do you see where this is going?)
Not believing does not make one stupid, as does it not make one stupid to believe in it. That is the beauty of belief.0 -

Considering how vast the universe is it would be pretty ignorant to assume we are the only species out there.0

I believe that if aliens exist, they haven't shown their faces 'round these parts due to fear because Jeff Goldblum is still alive. Will report back on the validity of this theory after his inevitable, gut-wrenching passing.0

Yes I believe. And their blood type is (AB-).0

I would have to agree with this 100%
Except that we have found species of plants 5 miles beneath the ocean's surface, where there is no light, that exist entirely off sulfur. This flies in the face of what we're normally taught, which is that life cannot survive without sun, without oxygen, etc.
The only thing is that people normally think of "aliens" as intelligent life forms such as ourselves. The chances of that are minuscule at best; it is even more unlikely that they have developed a means of travel that can quickly and effectively move them through the universe at or above the speed of light (which is the kind of travel needed to get from the systems we've so far identified as being hospitable to the development of life). Most aliens are probably in the form of bacteria or other simple life forms.0 -

I don't think anyone is assuming we are the only species in the universe...0 -

The original quote makes no mention of light or oxygen, merely that if the circumstances were slightly different we may not be able to exist here on this planet (which does appear for now to be the only one that sustains life "as we know it".0 -
I hear they work at the post office0

This is the only reasonable explanation for why we haven't made contact yet. 10/10.0 -
Actually not true - the moon orbits the earth in an elliptical pattern , at it's closest (Perigee) and at it's furthest distance away (Apogee). It's exactly where it has to be. Don't get your facts from Wiki - look to NASA. The moon controls tides of the ocean, if this were off, we would be in big trouble.........

Is nasa.gov good enough a source?
The distance of drift is insignificant in terms of tidal effects, but is definitely there.0 -
Yes, I believe there are other planets that hold life in our universe. I believe this because of the sheer number of planets that exists and really doubt the probability that the earth is unique in its ability to harbor life. These "aliens" might only be simple life forms or might not even be carbon based lifeforms, but I think they are there.
I think I also believe this a little bit because it kinda terrifies me to think we are all alone.
I believe they are out there and I would love to know the truth.0 -
I hope there are aliens out there and intelligent ones too. Take me out of here.0

It's possible, but unlikely, that there are life forms out there that are similar to ours. But, I firmly believe there is other life in the Universe. Space is so vast that finding it is not likely. Imagine one grain of sand in all the sands on earth. That doesn't even compare to the number of Planets, Galaxies and Stars in the Universe. There IS NO boundary to the Universe. If man lived forever and could travel at the speed of light in one direction, he would never come to an end.
We're just a indiscernable speck of dust in the Universe. We are pretty cocky to think we hold any significance in the vast order of the Universe.0 -
