ALIENS! Are they real?

Postby Republic of Tacos » Mon Sep 26, 2016 6:43 pm

To you I pose the question of aliens. Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? What about politicians? Do you think they're hiding them from us? Is Hillary Clinton an alien? (insert more info here)

Personally, I think they could exist. Though, I want solid proof on whether they do or not. (insert more info here)

So NSG, what are your thoughts? Do they exist? Is all of this just a bunch of hoopla? What do you think? (insert more questioning here)

P.S. We're defining aliens as life from another planet. Not people from other cultures.

Probably out there somewhere. Not anywhere close to us though.

Maybe, I'm kinda agnostic towards aliens. They could exist, they could not.

There's no substantial proof that they do exist. The way I see it, the only rational camp in this topic, is the one that says that they might or might not, only time will tell. And even then, I hear time is great at keeping secrets.

No, I don't think they're hiding them from us. The only reason they would hide it is to keep citizens from freaking out. And as long as the government acted appropriately, I honestly don't think anyone would freak out, at least not in the, "Hey! We're not alone in the universe! Let's blow shit up!" kinda way. Not to mention, whoever was president during the discovery of aliens would almost certainly be reelected. So someone would've blown the whistle to further the popularity of their political career and party. And finally, the government can't even keep their own programs from being discovered. I really don't think they're capable of keeping knowledge of another intelligent civilization quiet for very long at all.

Probably. I mean, all it takes to be an alien is to be an organic creature not from earth. Even bacteria could be considered aliens. So yeah, I'm 99.99% sure aliens are out there.

Well, relatively speaking I believe that there's a pretty high chance that alien's are near to us.

Of course. Given the infinite vastness of the known universe, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some form of extraterrestrial life form in existence, even if it's microbes.

There were microbes on Mars, so aliens are definitely real; especially the microbial ones.

If you mean politicians, then yes, sadly they are real.

If you mean aliens from other countries, yes, Mexicans do exist.

I don't think there is concrete evidence to prove that aliens exist, but neither is there proof to disprove the evidence of aliens existing. Besides, the Milky Way is so big, and so is the universe, thus we can conclude that we are not the only intelligent life forms in the entire universe or the Milky Way, and there is a high chance of aliens existing.

It would be silly to think we are the only sapient species in this big fish nbowl, but hey the last great sapient civilizations could have just died off recently.

Odds are good there is sentient life out there somewhere, it's a vast universe,

Odds are poor that they would cross those distances to contact us, either accidentally or intentionally.

Yes, and given that we still cannot fully grasp or understand many fundamental parts of physics, they could be very much different to vaguely humanoid green things.

I certainly think it's possible that extraterrestrial life exists.
