abyssalreaper Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Do you believe in aliens? I do I just can't see how Earth can be the only planet with life forms on it in this gigantic universe.

Necromagus Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 While the odds that some form of life is out there are pretty big, I seriously doubt if it is intelligent, and if it is, would be advanced enough to cross the distance between them and earth in any reasonable amount of time. Even then, I doubt they'd interact with us in any way.

Mercifull Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 You'd have to be pretty naieve to say that no form of life exists outside of earth but do i belive little green men are coming to earth in UFO's abducting people?... no. I also know that crop circles are a load of BS.

indy500fan Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 yeah, i believe in aliens. probably some even in our own galaxy. most definently some in other galaxies. problem is, they may not be here at the same time we are. they may have wiped themselves out millions of years ago. maybe they are still micro-organisms, and wont get to our level for millions of years. the chances that there are aliens in our galaxy, and that they are here at the same time at the same level of technology as us, is really, really small.

Adam007 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 With the infinite amount of possibilities of space, there's bound to a ton of planets with life, probably a few others with intelligent life. Probably just not intelligent enough to create spacecraft capable of getting to other galaxies. But yeah, since there aren't exactly any boundaries to space that we know of, I can't imagine any possible way that life couldn't exist elsewhere.

bjbj1991 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 With my understanding the only bodys in this solar system that have ever been or will be sutible for life are Earth Mars and Europa. Mars is a dry plannet but evedince exists that it was wet earler life would have to live under gound to even have a chance at living. We have never even seen under the ice on Europa so there could be as much life there as on Earth. If we do find life on another world and it is just a few hundred of years behind us then we would not be able to talk and if the race is extremly advanced then they will probly not find us intristing enough to talk to. The distances between stars along would prevent any transit between the worlds also because they would be at a miniulm of 4 light years away.

Craven_Image Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yes definetly in the Universe and I would say maybe in our galaxy as well (intelligent life that is). The easiest way of an alien detecting us is if the aliens cast a radio telescope upon our solar system and it would show extremely high radio transmissions coming from a rather average star. Although the aliens would have to be within around 100 light years of Earth for them to detect it as global use of radio started around 100 years ago and as radiowaves are just like light except with a lower wavelength they travel at the same speed as light. We tried using the same technique to detect aliens but we haven't found anything but that's most likely because if there were aliens out there they'd move onto lasers etc instead of radio as it's much more efficient at transmitting.

Europa is thought to have a huge ocean underneath 1 mile thick sheet of ice, kept warm by a molten outer core which rotates around the inner crystal core. They even crashed Gallileo into Jupiter deliberately so as not to contaminate Europa. Imagine if they sent a probe to Europa, drilled through the 1 mile thick of ice and sent a submarine into the ocean and it got eaten by a huge sea monster... now that would be a good movie. 99 Magic, 99 Defence, 99 Strength, 99 Attack, 99 Hitpoints, 99 Fletching, 99 Woodcutting, 99 Firemaking, 99 Thieving, 99 Ranged, 99 Prayer, 99 Cooking, 99 Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtag_dez Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think there must be aliens. I also think that there is probably other life capable of space travel, but the chances of humans and much else actually coming across each other is pretty damn slim, because of how big the universe is.

Gosu Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well i beleive that there are aliens, but don't have a way to travel to our solar system. If they were able to travel to our solar system, they would probrably do so with advanced technology that gives them the ability to travel at incredibly high speeds, even faster than light :shock: . And if they were able to travel faster than light, we wouldn't be able to see them. They might be right next to one of us right now, or maybe next to me. :twisted: :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralinre Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think of the existance of aliens in a slightly different way than most people... As a Christian, I believe in a God who, by His nature, is creative. He has the power to create and enjoys creating. I don't see any reason why he would stop creating after earth was done. Now, I don't know if He created other beings like us (physical, intelligent beings), but I do believe He's created intelligent spiritual beings like angels. I'd say it's pretty narrow minding for so many Christians to think that God would have stopped creating after making us. Even if there's races out there that we'll never meet and celestial bodies we'll never see, it doesn't matter - the universe is for Him, not for us. Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me a religious fanatic, but that's my view of it. Oh, and why does everyone assume that aliens are advanced and capable of space travel? Isn't it equally likely that they're far more primitive than us? Behold, the influence of sci-fi on society. "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures.

Not to get in a religious debate, but in so many ways, the Bible doesn't make any sense and makes me not believe in the ways on God, which is why I don't believe in his anymore. Anyway, I want to be a purple fat alien named Vautaug. That would be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade995 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I do believe in aliens. I believe that we could be more advanced than the aliens. They might not even be green like the movies :) . I do think if they are more advanced and come here they might not harm us but actually help us. Or the movies can be right and make life a living ****. If you watch some of thoughs alien shows and say we have been visited already. That might be true and the goverment is covering it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
