Who believes in the existence of extraterrestrials?

Who believes that there is intelligent life on other planets?

I like to keep an open mind on the subject. There is so much about space we do not know I think there is a possibility. Who knows what�s out there?

But having said that, there has to be the right planetary conditions to sustain life and so far, as far as I'm ware of that we have not found a planet with similar conditions to Earth. Such as the rite temperature, atmosphere etc.

Please correct me if I am wrong, Scientists believe there may have been water on Mars and one of Jupiter�s moons had ice on it and bacteria was found on asteroids and Mars. I think that is the closest we have got to find any other life sustaining evidence in space. But who says they have to live in the same conditions as we do?

I think it would be awful waste of space if nothing else was out there.

I do. I mean space is preaty huge for one species of lifeform.

Sure we would like to feel that we are special, but in all of Space there has to be other life.

I belive in extra teresterials even more since me and my mom once saw an actual ufo. It was an otigan with a cross extending completely accrost the bottom.

The chnce of life crated randomly is very small. THe channce of that life becomming intellegent is even smaller. Yet the number of planets in the universe probably compensates for both, and I believe there must nbe intellegent life out there.

i heard that astronemers from the Hawaii observertory (largest on earth, same power as hubble) found a planet in a nearby system that is 'm class' that it may have primate species on it. but it's a lot of speculation

It's proven that there is extraterrestial life on some planets okay it are only bacteria but that's a lifeform too!

Me! If we were alone it sure would be a waste of space!

I do. I think they're just around... observing us... doing no harm... maybe amused at our speculations.

Which makes me wonder...

What do they think about Star Trek?!?

PhionexAlpha · **Fri Jul 26, 2002 3:42 am**

i think there must be atleast one other planet in the universe with the right climate to produce life. and in our vast universe the chances of another form of life is huge. and if humans can become intellegent they must be able to also.

PhionexAlpha · **Fri Jul 26, 2002 3:42 am**

actually,if u think about it,every living thing is intellent in its own way.

I think that there must be another intelligent species out there. But think, centuries ago, there was that advanced city, Atlantis, which people belived existed, but couldnt find. Then they found proof. It turned out that they were more advanced than the rest of the plannet at that time. Well if they had not been wiped out, we would probably be more advanced than we are. That was a set back, if there was another plannet out there which had similar development to us, but without the set backs then there could be a species out there cose to warp capable.

Also i have another theory, you know they talk about the missing link in our evolution? well what if humans were put on earth as an experiment, and it is UFO's are just the people who put us here checking up on us?? OK too deep.

But you know on voyager, when that species were conducting experiments on the crew, but the crew couldnt see them. Things would happen with no explanation, the doctors program being shut down by one of them (although he managed to transfer to the holodeck). Well i think that that is possible here.

Ever get the feeling that your not alone, maby your not???

I think so.. I mean when you think about it, what are the odds that we are the only intelligant life? Its like people used to believe that we were at the center of the universe and we were superior. I think there is other life but I dont think its all about green people with bulbus heads...

I'm open to the idea. It used to freak me out, but since getting more into Star Trek, I've come to grasps with the theory that perhaps alien life really doesn't have an agenda to kill us all

I think it would be rather unbelieveable if we were indeed the only race to inhabit this universe, and quite disappointing...in a way, it's rather frightening that there might be life out there, but it's sort of neat too. I just hope that if we do meet other beings, we don't blow them up before asking questions--our entire race is known to shoot first, and take responsibility later. Not exactly the best attitude you'd want for First Contact...

I have read most of the replies in this discussion. Most of the people repling do believe in life on other planets. The one disturbing idea is that most are saying is that the conditions need to be like earth, in order to support life. What about the time that voyager stopped on a Y class planet and found life, yes in different form, but still life.
