Question: Do you beleive Aliens are real?

( Back )

Answer #1:

we are aliens

Answer #2:

No. Only God is real!!! Read your Bible honey!!!

Answer #3:

I believe something lives in outer space because who knows; it seems like space goes on forever and there are other solar systems so whose to say we are the only people in the universe. Maybe there are people on another planet that look like us. Didn't you ever watch star trek?

Answer #4:

Yes I believe.
Just like christians believe in god (I am christian haha)
Just cause we can't see them or touch them doesn't mean there not they're.

Answer #5:

no

Answer #6:

The anthropic principle is tricky. Look up the Drake equation. The fact that life exists here on earth is proof that it is possible for life to form via natural means (which is called abiogenesis). If life can occur here there is nothing to stop life occurring on another planet. All it takes for life to occur is a few chemical reactions. When you get methane, ammonia, water, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and phosphate and spark it with electrical currents, you get amino acids (the building blocks of DNA). The chemist Stanley Miller and his colleagues left ammonia and cyanide in a freezer from 1972 until 1997, which created 7 different kinds of amino acids. When you get enough amino acids together in a solution and heat it, you get proteinoids (which are primitive protein like structures) and when present at the right temperature in an aqueous solution, the proteinoids form microspheres (which are like basic cells). That´s how life started. If it happened on earth, there´s no reason why it couldn´t happen somewhere else.

But let me make it clear...I´m not saying I believe in Aliens. I´m saying that it IS physically possible for life to occur somewhere else in the Universe.

Answer #7:

I believe they are. It seems it would be nearly impossible for them to not exist.

Answer #8:

without a doubt, i dont see why out of all the billions of planets in the universe why earth would be the only one with life

Answer #9:

I believe other beings exist out there but who's to say "they're" the aliens & not us! Especially if they existed before we did ya know! Lol

No no really I believe they exist but more likely then not they look just like us & what we have on this planet due to "convergent evolution" & or "genetic drift". So say we have 2 earth like planets on opposite ends of the universe with 1 just a few million years older then the other. Well convergent evolution states that give or take a few environmental factors (disease, volcanoes, famine, ect.) everything that "lives" on our planet should in theory live on theirs without being related if life were created/evolved.

So 165 m.y.o if we have dinosaurs they should have had them 2 or something to fulfill a similar niche! Its the same on our earth between Wild dogs (wolves, fox, cyotes), Hyenas, and the Thylacine! They all "looked" the same & came about at the same time but they are genetically unrelated and have no common ancestor! They each micro or macro evolved from other stuff to serve a predatory purpose that had a distinct physical shape which is why they look alike. Just this woul'dve happened on other planets instead of other continents!!!

But from everything i've heard/read little green men aren't likely to evolve considering how frail they appear. I heard that such neoteny (child like) characteristics would imply that they would've come from a planet that was already advanced (image cave men with our modern tech 12k years ago protecting/teaching us & what w'd have/look like 2day) or one with no natural predators (which would've made them much more massive & strong like an ape or Human due to all the creatures that attacked us!)

Answer #10:

Yes, it's mathematically impossible that there are no other lifeforms out there and you would have to be completely ignorant to think otherwise. As for what they look like? Who knows maybe well find out one day and hopefully they come in peace :)

Answer #11:

Yes, but I don't think they're necessarily little or even have a physical form. They may be just a force.

Answer #12:

I believe it is ridiculous to assume otherwise. Just random chance alone would require there to be more intelligent beings the just the ones on earth. I believe they come in all shapes and sizes. I do believe it is possible for some races to evolve to be just energy. I'd suspect that there are species on other planets that are far more advanced than we are. It wouldn't surprise me if there was an galactic civilization that is watching us. It would be in their best interest to pay attention to what a bunch of savages such as we are. Eventually will be able to travel in space and could be a threat to other races. I hold however, but at times the human race will have matured enough to not be so bloodthirsty and violent. If we were to face a much more powerful and unified alien presence, I suspect humanity would want to put away their little pretty grievances and cooperate to be a much better people.

Answer #13:

Depends how you define "alien"

I do believe there is fellow life out there, intelligent life just like us, and possibly beyond... But that's not an alien, that's just a different life form on a different planet.

"Alien" implies a certain level of migration or intrusion. Do I believe Earth itself is being actively monitored or pursued by aliens? No. I don't believe that there is such a technology, alien or not, that would allow a life form to safely cover the distance from us to the closest star in a reasonably short amount of time.

Why do I believe this?

We didn't always have stars in our universe, and we won't always have stars in the future. This is actually a very short period of time in our universe where the matter is scattered in such a way that stars, and thereby planets, and thereby life, can exist.

Even if an advanced form of curious life were on a resource-rich planet, were remarkably smarter than us humans, and discovered the technologies needed to cross to another star, (assuming such a thing is even possible), it would take ridiculous amounts of time to physically reach a neighboring star, and such a species would only be able to visit a small number of nearby stars before so much time passed that all the stars begin dying and the recycling tendencies of galaxies in general begin to fail.. With no stars, no light, no radiation, and just enormous clumps of uselessly inert matter and black holes peppering the universe... No matter how advanced their technology, the species would eventually run out energy to power their technologies, and die.

Unless such advanced life happens to exist within our own solar system and we discover it, I highly doubt we'll meet (or be) visitors from a different star.
