I strongly believe that there is intelligent life out there. I just don't fully believe we've been visited.


OK. Here's what I think

1) There are millions/if not billions of Stars harboring intelligent, advanced life like our planet. But they are unable to visit us becuase they can't break Einstien's law--they can't go faster than light no matter how advanced they are.

2) There are millions/if not billions of Stars harboring intelligent life, and a fraction of those have the ability to visit other planets, but have not yet visited us becuase there are millions and billions of other systems to check out--in other words, we've not randomly been visited becuase there is such a large pool of planets to visit.

3) They're out there. They've visited.

I also don't think Alien life that has the power to cross interstellar space would be violent in nature. It would take a great deal of intelligence and COOPERATION to do something like that.

I mean--we can't even cure AIDS. A united world of humans donated effort, time, money, and talent could have cured it by now.

What are your thoughts?

Red insists i'm an alien

It's as obvious as the nose on our faces, our race is an experement, mice on a wheel, guinea pigs in a cage. Ask Clinton, if you ever get the chance. Watch the blood drain from his puffy tomato face.

There may be, cause there definitely isn't any here.

1. Mathematical probability proves almost beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can't be the only intelligent life in the universe.

2. You're right about the vastness of space, finding another civilization would be like finding a needle in haystack.

3. You could be wrong about aliens not being hostile. Intelligence doesn't always equal kindness or wisdom. Humans prove this daily.

4. I'll never believe you're a pure bred earthling. You must be at least a tenth Buttopian.

You're just speaking for the US, right?

Another thought:
Intelligent live doesn't have to be human or humaniod.
Dinosaurs would be the dominate species here on Earth if it wasn't for a metor. Who knows what lifeform could make it to the top of the ladder under the right conditions.

We probably managed to kill them already and we don't even know it.

U know, a coworker of mine truly believes that we are some alien race's experiment.

I should hope that even Aliens have a moral code of ethics.

I think we're just a tiny blob on some alien's microscope

It would be arrogant to think that we could be the ONLY forms of life in this vast universe, and it is even more arrogant that "Hollywood" depicts them as hostile and creates images that are mere conjecture in this regard.

WE ARE NOT ALONE!

Sidebar: What makes you think the intelligence out there cannot be more advanced than Einstein and prove his theories to be inconsistent, not wrong, but incosistent?

Hope is human. But we should remember we humans also put animals in zoos to gawp at.

I can't and will never go to a circus becuase of the animal exploitation.

But I'm addicted to Busch Gardens--but only for their thrill rides.

Life on Earth is just like a planted seed. If it has the right conditions it will grow strong. The same is happening elsewhere. One day all the strong plants in the garden are gonna be visible. While the weak will die and shrivel up.

1-3 I agree with. 4 is left to interpretation.

I do think we have been visited. I think we aren't necessa being watched..but tabs are being kept on us and our progress. We are not ready for visitation yet.

i think it's probable other lifeforms are out there and have attained a higher degree of intelligence than have humans.

hopefully, they won't call the exterminator when they realize we're here

I think I just inspired your thread..

thanks to Bill Cosby I am petrified of aliens coming down and giving me a chiclet.

There's others here with us....I know.

Why do you think we've been visited?

Holy shit, this thread sucks.
