heres a nut buster for you..what if we are the most advanced civilization? What if the only really advanced thing they have is fast spaceships and nothing more?
Riddle me this: If another race of beings had spaceships capable of reaching earth, how would you go about classifying us as more advanced? just curious on the logic you would use to pull that argument off.....Pernicious544 wrote:

Don't worry about that, the human race is about as dangerous as humanly possible....
I believe they're out there. The universe is way too big for only one lifeform to exist. Even if not intelligent, there's other lifeforms out there. And as Spark said...
"And they would come down billions of light years to scare a few drivers or make crop circles? Unlikely."
If they're out there, they haven't come to us. It's incredibly unlikely.

Then we'll kill them and steal the spaceships and technology. Come on, microwaves, pudding cups, sliced bread it's all stolen!Pernicious544 wrote:

I'm surprised though. From this poll, I do believe more people believe in aliens than God. Huh, that's interesting.
No, the answer to this is 'Maybe'. And it's one of the poll options, too! Although one might want to define the term 'Alien' before discussing this.CameronPoe wrote:

You're surprised because people are not as stupid as you thought?DesertFox423 wrote:

drakes formula/equation indicates that there are in fact several highly intelligent lifeforms out there as well as many mid level of intelligence. all based on mathematics, but still. the universe is too vast for us to be the only ones here.

Sure they exist!!
I believe there is alien life, but that most of the stuff we'll ever encounter will be microbes of some sort.
Think of this: If aliens did evolve to be like us, they'd likely blow themselves up before they could develop interstellar travel...

So because you can't see Oxygen in a gaseous state you dont believe in it??commissargizz wrote:
If I see one then I will believe....
Or you dont believe in gravity because you can't see it??
Ahhhh ahhhh ooooooo yeah....
You can see oxygen in the gas physical state by simply acquiring it. Decompose some hydrogen peroxide and collect the oxygen given off. Voila!Vilham wrote:

Oh yes, Mr.Brett. I am surprised that people are not necessarily stupid, just contradictory in their arguements.

oxygen has no colour, therefore cant be seen in a gaseous state, you have to cause a change of some kind to it to see it.
If there is life out there don't expect NASA to find it :
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

This is a marvelous story to illustrate the perils of government waste; pity it's not true. NASA didn't have $12 billion to spend on anything when it first started sending astronauts into space in the early 1960s. The agency's entire budget for the 1960 was $500 million; by 1965, it was up to $5.2 billion, still not enough to throw billions away reinventing the ballpoint pen.
Be that as it may, astronauts in the Apollo program did begin using a specially-designed zero-gravity pen in 1968 called the Fisher AG-7 Space Pen. Nitrogen-pressurized, the pen worked in "freezing cold, desert heat, underwater and upside down," as well as the weightlessness of outer space. It was developed not by NASA but by an enterprising individual, Paul C. Fisher, owner of the Fisher Space Pen Company. By his own account, Fisher spent "thousands of hours and millions of dollars" of his own in research and development; not billions.
The Fisher Space Pen is still used by both American and Russian astronauts on every space flight, and you can buy one yourself direct from the company for a measly 50 bucks.
I think yes definately
there has to be we cannot be the only planet in the whole of the universe that has life.
We know about a tiny amount of the universe there just has to be another planet with life
My opinion anyway
