Do U Believe in Aliens?

[Ahtreil]

No. Sorry, i am not a lunatic...

[Equimanthon]

I'm pretty sure we're alone, the chances of us existing are so remote as it is, without there being other beings out there.

[Norstal]

Of course! You'd be stupid not to believe!

You'd be stupid to draw conclusions from data you don't understand and haven't completed yet.

[Unilisia]

Probably microbes, at most. Although I'm all for an alien invasion.

Well, if the aliens come from a world that didn't experience mass extinctions like Earth has, they could have a 65 million year leg up on technology, which means solving the Einstein barrier on travel. I don't think they would care much about us at that point, since we're not advanced enough to have cool stuff worth taking.

Abductions and cattle mutilations? Alien frat boys yanking our chain for the fun of it...Probably behind the stupid asss messages they're always leaving too-some drunk fratboy thinks it's profound...

What about Guatemalans?

[Luciratus]

Ah... thank you?

Yeah, I said sexy, not ugly. NEXT.

Well, I do recall my mother mentioning something similar, though her precise word was "grotesque".

The chances of us existing are 1:1, 100%. Because we do exist.

[Equimanthon]

Oh come on, you know what I mean, stop being so pedantic. The chances of all the various things that had to have happened in order for us to be here are really low, but obviously they happened, however I think it unlikely for it to have happened elsewhere.

Is that suppose to be your version of a redneck?

[Selung]

Do I believe there are other forms of life somewhere in the universe? Sure.
Do I believe they are currently on earth or spying us? Not so much.

Well, I exist, at least... [/Cartesian Doubt]

No. Our version of the species Redneck of the genus Alabaman is generally considered to be the Argentine.

Never!

The chances of all the various things that had to have happened in order for us to be here are really low, but obviously they happened, however I think it unlikely for it to have happened elsewhere.

And it being unlikely doesn't mean much in such a mind-bogglingly huge universe. And unlikely event could happen millions and millions of times when there are so many possibilities for them to happen.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Of course, it's physically impossible for there not to be. In our infinitely expanding universe, you can't tell me there isn't a single race of life. They have, of course, never reached earth as they probably exist far, far, far, far, far, far (continues for several hours) far, far, far, far, far, far, far away.

[Samuraikoku]

I'm going to take the optimistic answer and say: Why not?

[Wilkshire]

So, do you?
Yes.

If so, do you think they are friendly?
Some are, some aren't.

If so, do you think they are visiting earth?
Without a shadow of a doubt.

Are they hostile?
Some of them out there certainly are.

Are their more than one species?
In a universe of 125 billion galaxies I think it is quite likely!

Just tell us, do you BELIEVE!
YES!

Huh? (As an Argentinian I'm almost afraid to ask).

[Corrian]

I honestly think it is funny that all these brilliant scientists at NASA seem to think that a planet has to be exactly like ours to sustain life. I don't know if all of them think that way, but it seems like a lot. As far as we know they could live on a planet with nothing that makes us live at all and be perfectly fine. I don't see why that couldn't be a possibility. It's not like every single species must live in the same atmosphere as us. I could see a species living on Jupiter for all we know.

Yes, I believe there has to be another race of equal/less/more intelligence then us out there somewhere. I just see no reason why there wouldn't be. I also don't know for a fact there is, because theres no proof, but I think there probably is. They could be hostile or not, I don't know. I also have no clue if they've visited us or not. They might of: they might not of. As far as I'm concerned the ocean on our very planet is another world in itself. It just acts like an alien world down there, with all the weird and amazing fish.

Do you mean a planet with nitrogen-based life, or something?

That would be a planet just like earth, so no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth Air is the name given to atmosphere used in breathing and photosynthesis. Dry air contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.

What I mean is as far as we know, like how we mainly breath in nitrogen, another species could fully live off of carbon dioxide or other gases that could kill us in high quantities. I just don't like the whole "It must be like earth to sustain life" perspective. I think they could live on any planet. Doesn't mean we wouldn't die instantly before we saw them.

like . . .plants?
*grins*
sorry couldn't help myself. No, in all honesty there are planets that are inhospitable to anything we'd consider to be life though atmosphere is only one of the factors take into account. That said there could well be life out there that would be so mind blowingly different from our version of it that we can't even imagine the stuff and when we run into it we'll change our opinions on where and how life can develop, that's the beauty of science.

unlikely *shrugs* without liquid water it would be pretty much impossible for anything living to develop even really weird not even close to earth life.

[Grave_n_idle]

There aren't.

I'm sorry, but unless you're secretly some NASA scholar who frequents NSG, you're either trolling ME or incredibly egotistical to assume you're more qualified than esteemed scientists and can read the minds and intentions of alien lifeforms we've never encountered.

I didn't say 'more qualified'.

Until some of us meet aliens, we're all equally qualified.

[Licana]

No. Sorry, i am not a lunatic...

How is it a sign of lunacy?
