I'm not sure what to think about this. I REALLY want to believe in aliens but there isn't any solid proof yet.

With hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe and billions of stars in each one, I'd say it's very unlikely that we're alone. -
Do you think there's no solid proof because you didn't see it? Or no one made you believe it? Where's the solid proof we are not in the Matrix and anything what you see is real?
-
I think it is incredible conceit to think we are completely alone in the universe. -
very much so. -
look at Urikalish post and go through that link it seems this title was use the about two weeks ago. the title is diffrent but topic is the same by chance i'm sure.

Umm, hang on a sec, I'll go look.

Yes. -
Aliens all over the U.S.A and they cook quesadillas sooo good.-
They also cook chicken curry too. And its yummmmm

My friend once argued with a Christian about this point. His defense: "So you think God, the most intelligent being in the universe, would create a universe to put life on ONE planet? No, that'd be stupid. Therefore, aliens exist." -
yes... just last week on Yahoo News they posted the article about evidance that was found that life existed on Mars many years ago.
however, I was a witness of a UFO sighting in 1982, and have been a believer ever since -
Yes... if you are a guy I have proof.
Do you remember being a kid and there were girls in school? Certainly felt like aliens.-
The teachers, they were ALL Aliens (evil laugh) -
Too true..too true!
-
-
Do they exisit as energy forms - for sure?
In flying saucer and cardboard cut out form - Nope, far too basic and an old way of us rationalising 'others'.
We recently posted about this BUT check out the comment from ' lemmyfrommotorhead' he posts an interview with David Icke, instrumental in reptilian conspiracy theories and shape shifters!

Many people have belief in their Gods, is there proof? are they really there?
Some say they have seen them, word has been past down about them, but how good is word? Start a story and pass it around to 10 people and when it gets back to you it's a totally different story. My point is, if people need to believe, then they should. Space and time is so complexed that anything could be real, or unreal. And, every day strange things happen among us. So, maybe there are green people, maybe they have been here, maybe they haven't found us yet. But when strange things happen, as humans we need to explain it to ourselves. We label everything and question all. -
It's just human nature to look up, count the stars, and assume there must be life elsewhere. Our rich-with-life, abundant Earth reinforces this. But, like Enrico Fermi asked, "Where are they?"
I believe we'll find that any life, not even considering intelligent life, is very, very rare. Space is a dangerous place. Storms of cosmic radiation, meteor bombardment, etc. Our Earth is in the Goldilocks not-too-hot, not-too-cold zone, and, as we know, the world does get smacked by objects from space now and then, but we've been lucky in that regard, too.
Nothing would please me more than to see a big silver UFO land on the Washington mall and to watch Klaatu step out. But I would bet good money that most of the universe is empty, and that life is very unique and rare. -
What about the circle crops?-
manmade. -
But not everyone of them. -
everyone of them.
-
If you say so then... that's only for you.

How could anyone beleive that we're "it" ? -
I think we have enough proof. Like I said on this post..
Hello from New York! I read info on UFO's since the 1970's. I think we have a 50/50 chance that they exist.
The thing is this. What government would ever admit they do exist? The entire world would change overnight. You just can't do it. The stock market would goto near 0. People would lose all money. You would also have a million questions from people that the governments couldn't answer.
This goes for any government in the world. I think though at least it seems that most alien races would probably have a no interfere rule also like we do. It probably is the reason why they come and go fast. Just check out, but don't touch.
They also probably don't care much about us to actually land anyway near the White House say. We are probably so different then they are in every way.-
What government would ever admit they do exist?
1. Whoever taps into the technology of alien crafts will have the ultimate upper hand over the rest of the world, particularly military. Even if they have the crafts, it will definitely be classified many levels above Top Secret.
2. Whichever country admits the existence of alien crafts, and unable to deal with it will face public pressure eventually for their incompetence. What competence to talk about in the first place?
3. So many TV productions are spending thousands of dollars, if not millions just to discredit home-recorded videos. Some even used movies special effects rigs to reproduce the first footage just to prove it can be a home-made prank. Either the footage owner is really smart (not to spend probably a single cent to fake a video), or the TV production crew must be really dumb to spend these money just to discredit a worthless myth in their mind.

I kinda agree here with the crop circles. I seen a show where they had guys do it in just a short time at night to show people how easy it is.
The point is, if people can make the circles, then it is probably unlikely that aliens made them.
Another way you can prove it. If aliens made the circles, then why not make a circle or sign on say Mars or the Moon? If they can fly here they can fly there.
If I see an alien flag or sign on Moon or Mars, then I will believe they are alien made. -
According to USA government I am a Legal Alien here.
I exist that means aliens exists
end of discussion. -
And guys, watch the History channel. They have loads of 1 hour shows on UFO's all the time.
-
...and that proves...?
-
-
UFO's right now on History channel! Cool show.

As a Christian, I don't think its in God's plan.
Ironically the resistance fighters in my user pic fight against aliens. That must be some form of hipocracy on my part lol. -
Yeah same here. Im not sure how that would fit into God's plan either. That is why I tell everyone 50/50 chance. Lots of questions, and really no answers still.
-
Is to much vanity to think that we are the only ones in the whole universe. -
My wife is a German citizen living in the U.S. with a green card. She is a "legal alien". On Halloween she has been known to wear antennea that are green florescent. This proves that there are aliens here now.
Be that as it may, I find it hard to believe that there isn't life elsewhere. But I also find it easy to believe that it hasn't found us yet. The universe is a pretty big place. -
Unless the aliens were around for millions of years. By then they probably would have the technology to do amost anything. Look how far we came from 1900-2000? It is almost like magic that we have all we have today. They had nothing in 1900 compared to now.
-
And yet consider how limited our "magic" really is. We still haven't figured out stuff like moving faster than the speed of light---never mind dealing with the world's many woes.

I was wondering what religious (or spiritual) people think about the matter. If aliens popped into Earth tomorrow to say hi, would you think that the aliens were (your) God's creation or not?
Personally, I'd be dumb to state any kind of firm "no" position considering the vastness, etc., but no, I don't believe there are aliens. I also don't believe in god, ghosts, vampires, the easter bunny, magic, or el chupacabra. I will be more than willing to admit that I was wrong if and when I see any of these things with my own eyes.-
I am a student of Bible prophecy and understand a lot of it, and much of it has come to pass and will come to pass very soon. I'm not expecting any aliens to come to this planet.
My concern is with One world government, the north american union, national I.D. cards, the verichip to be implanted in a persons hand, the rebirth of the nation of Israel, and how soon will a third Jewish temple be built on the temple mount in Jerusalem. Its currently under Palestenian control... and yet its prophesied in Revelation 11 that there will be a third temple in the last days when the Messiah returns.
How would aliens fit into Bible prophecy? They don't.

Nanu Nanu. Isn't Michael Jordan an alien? No human can perform like that. -
Agent Mulder and Scully have communicated with some Aliens in several episodes of X-Files..would that mean something? LOL
-
We're self-centered species if we will think that alien dont exist -
Hundreds of years ago, if you told someone about the existence of germs and bacteria, you'd get locked up. Consider me amongst one of the lockers. There may well be aliens, but until there's a shred of evidence, I choose not to believe. It seems fruitless and depressing.
-
It is extremely unlikely that aliens who are visiting us (if they are) would be at the same technological level as us. It is likely that they are thousands or millions of years more advanced than us. The chance of meeting a race at the same level of technology as us is almost zero.
So, aliens who visit us will only allow themselves to be detected if they want to, or if they make a mistake. So, any evidence would be extremely hard to come by, IMHO. -
Huh? So not only do you believe that they could exist, but that they could come here and exact some sort of conspiracy to remain hidden for no specific purpose other than to confuse and bewitch us into thinking they don't exist?
That's pretzel logic, if you ask me.

I don't know about aliens, but I know there are multiple universes. Hugh Everett even proved it mathematically. -
what we are the aliens? what if we were relocated here long ago?
We are very different than most species on the planet.
We walk, we talk, we create, we destroy.
Just a thought-
You know what? This reminds me of Repo Man. Otto and Miller are talking about aliens, and how all the people who come up missing are sent through time machines to the past to inhabit the earth!
Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?
Miller: I'll give you another instance: you know how everybody's into weirdness right now?...
I love that movie!

Here's excerpts from the Wiki on the Rare Earth Hypothesis:
The Rare Earth hypothesis is a hypothesis in planetary astronomy and astrobiology which argues that the emergence of complex multicellular life (metazoa) on Earth required an extremely unlikely combination of astrophysical and geological events and circumstances.
The rare earth hypothesis is the contrary of the principle of mediocrity (also called the Copernican principle), whose best known recent advocates include Carl Sagan and Frank Drake. The principle of mediocrity maintains that the universe is probably teeming with advanced life: the Earth is a typical rocky planet in a typical planetary system, located in an unexceptional region of a large but conventional barred-spiral galaxy. Ward and Brownlee argue to the contrary: planets, planetary systems, and galactic regions that are as friendly to complex life as are the Earth, the solar system, and our region of the Milky Way are probably extremely rare. If so, the Earth could be the only place in the Milky Way, and perhaps even in the entire universe, featuring complex life.
*******************************************
I expect Ward and Brownlee are correct. But I'd love to be wrong.
