Aliens?

[adamparkzer]

This relates very closely to what I wrote my final paper on in AP English Language and Composition. To sum it all up in a sentence, I argued that aliens are three-dimensional beings from another three-dimensional world, and are controlled by a different four-dimensional ruler. It's a little difficult to give sufficient background information on it, but my entire paper can be downloaded from my blog.

OMG did any 1 say aliens

hmmm wana know what i think about aliens well there might be aliens no 1 knows for sure and for the ufo those are made up and i think its usa made they do experiements so when there are doing it people think its aliens just think for a moment why they never come down are they scared nah then thats what i think.

Do Aliens exist at all, as in intelligent beings not from our planet?

Probably yes.
Drake equation (cited in this Thread already) is a good enough argument.

Have they come visit us here?

Probably not.
The fact that some of the most powerfull people and organizations on Earth do not seem to be able to keep the most embarassing and damaging secrets (political, economic, social) out of the media leads me to belive great conspiracies supposedly covering up "a multitude" of sightings, crash landings, captured aliens, etc. are just wishfull thinking.

Actually there is a very small chance of life coming into existence in the first place.

Lets say 2x10^-10000000000000000000000000

But because the universe is infinitely large. And because any number added, subtracted from, divided by, or multiplied with infinity = infinity one can conclude that there is a 1/1 chance of life being somewhere else in the universe.

So somewhere in the universe (which is endless) other life exists.




PS: Technically an "Alien" can be considered as a person from another country; for instance, illegal immigrants are often called "Illegal Aliens". An alien is nothing but something that is foreign to the region.

Possible life form of 'alien's, just do the drake equation
Its an estimate of he number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way.
I believe of there could be 'Aliens', Extraterrestrial life form, because we are in the Milky Way Galaxy with a Main Sequence star, the sun. Of course there are plenty of suns out there that is like ours and possibly hold other life forms. Of course It would be slim to none if we meet contact with them, because the hoaxes or the government... but just out of stories or possibly "real cases" I certainly believe there are aliens out there.

And people out there may be an alien fan, that buys fabricated story products, but I dont think Aliens are total bull just yet

Actually, I'm only here because I had the urge to post that emoticon.

But since this is Crossfire, with Crossfire rules, I'd better say something.


To debate this properly, we really need some good definitions of what we mean by aliens. I'm going to go with the simple one of "life from somewhere other than this planet".

With that in mind, I'd say that almost certainly Yes, there is plenty of alien life elsewhere in the universe. It would be extremely arrogant of us to think we are so unique that it could only happen here (given how much "Universe" there is, besides planet Earth).

But has it been here? I very much doubt that intelligent life has been here, & for the same reasons that so many previous posters have already stated.

One thing which I think is entirely possible though, is that small, simple organisms could have arrived here from elsewhere, perhaps entombed & protected within a meteorite. This could, in particular, include viruses.

So if these life forms can be described as aliens, then Yes, we have quite possibly had them here at some point in the Planet's history. Who knows, they could have even "seeded" the start of life here.


In which case, are we all descended from aliens?!!

If the microorganisms from space have seeded life here (Panspermia) then life should be abundant enough that we (or our descendants) should find some traces of life as soon as we explore our Solar System in a more serious and systematic way.
Of course, they should be similar to us (at a biochemical level).

On the other hand, "alien" microorganisms having landed on Earth after life got established here, and still living relatively prosperously among us is less probable.
All cells analysed so far (viruses, bacteria, cells of plants and animals) have in fact been found to use the same basic molecular building blocks, indicating just one origin of life on Earth (that has survived and that we know of).

When humans will be able to take samples from some of the bodies orbiting the gas giants (especially the ones with some sort of liquids on their surface) we may be in for some surprises.

I'd love to live long enough to see/hear the news of life found outside of Earth!

thats a good explanatoin and yes its possible but who knows maybe were aliens maybe we came long time ago for some reason there are manny reasons and maybe we whore the the micro organism and evolved into humans who knows that there are billions of planets out there some far some near if we are here then why not there could be life out there iswell and when i

when i was 13 years old i was on top of the my homes roof and i saw something in the sky i cant explain there was red lights in triangle shape blinking and moving and after few years i was reading a book about aliens and there it was a picture simmiler to what i saw red lights triangle shaped i believe there is something out there and for ufo as i said b4 in my other comment ufo that show up maybe its the secretgoverment experiements testing the new crafts.

I beleive in other life forms. You can't tell me, that we are the only living planet? COME ON. Have you considered how big the universe is? There are other galaxies, other solar systems, other planets, other suns, there has to be a planet with life somewhere. Other wise, its a waste of space.

I thought as much before I even read the first word of your post.

But since this is Crossfire, with Crossfire rules, I'd better say something.

Does that mean that the rest of what you wrote is just filler material and isn't worth reading?

Anyways, I can't remember if I've ever said anything in this thread or not, but if I have it was a long while back, so I'll post my thoughts on the existence of aliens.

Using the definition of aliens which zen-r gave, which seems to me fairly good, I think there's a 50-50 chance of there being aliens out there. We don't have any evidence for aliens, but neither do we have a single shred of evidence against aliens.

As far as there being little green blobs flying around in space saucers however, I'd say the probability of that is pretty low.

[aimflux]

People believe aliens are real because they think there is life on other planets. The one thing I want to know is why people always think they're smarter than us just because they're not from Earth. How do you know they're not dumber than a single-celled organism?

I'm not saying that I don't think there is life outside of Earth. But at the same time, I'm not saying I do. To be totally honest, I really don't care.

I beleive in them only when watching alien pranks.
