Aliens...do you believe in them?

its possible... but impossible... but maybe possible... or maybe impossible. but truely.. ALIENS are existent. the universe is a very expansive place and we humans are in just minute portion of it.

we cant say but maybe in a deep part of the universe where time space is different there are doubles we may say like us. well... humans have ability to think, and as long as we can think, answers will be answered. this undying question maybe answered in the later time, when man will be able walk in the space, time and history.

I believe there may be aliens. I also believe aliens might be just a more advanced and evolved human. I mean, I dont want to sound like a weirdo or a lier (mostly lier) but I think there may even be humans evolving into a more advanced sort of human. Then there is a category I think I fall into of humans that grow differently mentally. For instance, whenever Im thinking (like now) im also visualising how people will react, how I think of that, possible responses, what else I could be doing, and three other irrelevant things. I also creep myself out at times because Im really good at manipulation without trying, and can do things Ive never done before on a decent level. I feel like a freak now so im done. Anyways I believe in other intelligent life.

i wouldnt worry Scion. Many people think that. Not that im one of them but im not judging anyway sooo.

We also have to consider that we might be the most advanced species. Its possible that there is other life, but it started developing later for whatever reason and we are the farthest along so far. but with the way the world's going i guess were not setting a great example...

I am not sure if i do or do not... I just cant imagine though that if they did exist and took people to study them or just flash some lights here and there why would they not just pop on down. I mean if they can travel in space that far im sure that they could wipe us out if they wanted so why so afraid.. Unless its like the movie first contact and it has to be done in baby steps to see how the planet they are contacting handles that knowledge.

Uh, not to go off the sub, but how did I get a -1 rep for my opinion? I have all the luck....

Someone must have felt bad for you and plus repped you on that one to balance out.

But someone probably derepped you for the evolution comment.
Even if it seems reasonable, it still seems like an arrogant dick thing to say.

I don't care if you are an arrogant dick, just saying...


Anyway, I feel like posting in this topic is getting to the point where we are beating a dead horse.
Most posts are people saying the universe is too large for there NOT to be other life in it, a few posts here and there say it's not so likely after all, and a few posts just seem like they were made by dangerously insane individuals.

It's not exactly an issue we can resolve and get an answer to.

Agreed. and your welcome scion ^-^ i dont think its fair to lose rep for your oppinion. thats just not right.

Oh I see I was beginning to think that someone on here had it out for me. BTW, I said may be an evolved but I see what you mean. & thanks church 4 the point I feel my opinions shouldn't be penalized. PS. Im not arrogant but I AM a dick.

Aliens may exist, because we exist, which proves that life is completely possible somewhere else.

what's great about this universe is that it's a vortex of possibilities. We haven't even explored 5% of what it's really composed of. If there are aliens or not will never be a fact until we have fully explored and study the universe but until that happens there is always a possibility. Why would earth be the only planet able to sustain life? What's important is that we have the imagination to think out of the box so that we may be inspired to go out and discover what has yet to be discovered.

I believe there are probably some other beings out there some where, but not what us humans would normally class as an alien. Other than the fact they wouldn't be from our planet. To me it is honestly more unbelievable that there wouldn't be others out there. The main argument I hear when I debate things like this with friends is that there is no air on other planets, so they could not survive. But why does every living creature have to breathe air? Look at fish for example, they would all die if that's all they had to breathe.

Protip: When expressing your belief that you are a better brand of human being than the standard issue, it would probably be a good idea to use proper grammar and to leave out internet shorthand.
Not that bad grammar and internet shorthand are indicative of a less intelligent person overall, but they certainly make it seem that way.
But don't worry, I still like you.

In any case, each generation is slightly more evolved than the last; and I do mean SLIGHTLY. This is not the world of the X-men, there are no leaps in evolution. Macroevolution (evolution at or above the level of species; for example, from Homo habilis to homo sapiens sapiens) happens over MILLIONS of years, and is commonly thought to be the compound effect of microevolution (evolution below the level of species; the different between homo sapiens now, and homo sapiens thousands of years ago). Macroevolution is what you will hear debated by creationists. Microevolution is pretty much undebatable if you want to be taken seriously. So is Macroevolution, really, but creationists would get laughed at in debates a lot more often if they tried to debate microevolution.
Anyway, my point is, in the natural way of things, each generation is an attempt to ensure the survival of the species; so each generation is slightly more evolved than the last. It just tends not to be particularly noticeable until you look several generations apart. This is just natural selection, and one of the things that affects microevolution. There are other things, like artificial selection and mutation, that also affect it, but I don't feel like writing an essay on evolution here.
Really, I'm just saying, you ARE more evolved than you parents, but barring some pretty astonishing mutation, you are not too noticeably more evolved than them, and are not likely much more evolved than the rest of the people in your generation, certain factors withheld. Like if your family for some reason has historically passed more favorable traits than average or something like that.

It's all very interesting stuff, evolution.
But this topic isn't about evolution...



Your point is actually a fairly good one; Our definition of life has to do with the conditions necessary for all life on Earth to exist. There could be "life" on other planets with another definition of "life."
However, any assumption not based reliably gather information is just conjecture, and science is not based on conjectures. Science can START with a really good idea, but it has to move on to hypothesis and experiment to be science.
So we have to assume that our definition of life is what we are looking for, and is the only way life exists.

And I dont have any problems with you either. But I still want to point out again I never said I was more evolved than anyone. I said I feel like I (along with many other people than myself) Developed mentally differently. Not saying that I have superpowers or super intellect, just that the way I think is usually different than the majority. Damn I wish I could be clearer. Ill spare you eons of crap no one cares about and just stop now. We dont have any problems so this isnt necessary. I just wanted to clear that bit up.
