Do you believe aliens exist?

    Nowadays we see a lot of things are possible. About a century ago we were only able to monitor the space. Now we are able to fly in space and examine it even better. A century is a time so short for the universe's existence, and yet we've done so much for the last one. Having in mind that there are billions+ stars and planets, what are the odds that someone somewhere is far more advanced and can come visit us?

    Do you believe that there is someone more advanced than we are, who is around there, or might even have been here to see where we got? :)

    I watched the show on BBC called "Are we alone in the universe" and they come up with this formula that says there are 10000 other civilizations out there. Who would say :)

    The whole alien question has always fascinated me.

    [pulls up a chair and gets some popcorn]

    Whenever I watch those "alien" documentaries the first part always has the proof that says "YES THERE ARE ALIENS" and then producers hit you over the head with a "BUT WAIT, MAYBE THERE ISN'T" sequence of scenes and experts that disspells what you just watched in wrapped attention.

    And finaly, when the documentary is over you just end up all confused and you feel like you need to look out your window a few times in the evening just to make sure.

    ...sip....

    i believe there are aliens, i recently read a new discovery about 4 earth like planets orbiting a star much like ours. if the planet can sustain life its plausible. who knows how many galaxies, solar systems are out there, maybe the reason they haven't made contact yet is because their still also wondering if aliens like us exist.

    No doubt, there must be another creature in these huge galaxies.
    I don't know whether the name is alien or whatever, but they do exist.

    I don't think that there are wide-eyed, green, scary creatures in space, but it makes so much sense that there are other forms of life out there. Even if they are microscopic in size, I think there's a great possibility, so I'm kind of open to both sides on this one.

    I believe aliens exist on many other planets that very far away from us. So we still don't know or visit each other

    I think the tenacity of life on this planet makes it likely that life, in some form, does exist on other planets as well. I do not believe we have been visited by any alien life forms though.

    We have explored an infinitesimally small percentage of our own galaxy, let alone the entire universe. Also, most of the planets we have found are so far removed from what we would consider conducive to life that if life does exist on those planets we would most likely not even recognize it. When you consider we have reached out to the stars in just the last 50 years or so, I don't find it surprising that we have found no evidence of extra-terrestrial life.

    But I would bet good money that if we do discover, or are visited by, extra-terrestrials, the first action of governments the world over will be to kill them first and learn about them second. Humans like to kill things.

    Yup I do, there is simply too many planets inthe universe and some of them has life, maybe not like us.

    I'd find it harder to believe there AREN'T other forms of life out there.. the sheer number of other star systems is staggering and many planets have been discovered within those star systems already. Stands to reason that life exists on at least some of them, eh?

    I am sure about that there are other creatures in the universe, because it is too huge....

    If we are alone, then the space is just a lot of wasted space.

    If we aern't alone then where is the evidence?

    I dont think we are alone, but then its hard to justify why I think that

    Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

    No I don't belive in aliens in the form that is showed in the movies. But I do belive that there is a life to be found in the space.

    Go figure, The Earth is only a part of the Solar System, while the Solar system is only a tiny dot in the milky galaxy...

    That's definitely other living forms in the universe and we're not alone...
