Not to say I don't believe in aliens, but I believe humans have very little if any understanding of them. Seriously, hollywood movies preparing us? |

While there certainly was a blend of science and religion, how does this mean anything? You had a large portion of the population (Stoics) that believed the universe was part of a single whole and that gods were present in everything. How does that leave anything up to interpretation for aliens? |

I definitely believe in other life forms out in the universe, though (the probability of us being the only ones is just too slim). I'll admit, however, that I have doubts about their visitation to our planet... Video was interesting, but kind of corny. Quote:

If movies are indicators of life outside of planet earth, then I'm also expecting invasions of transformers and hobbits.

I'd love to come in contact with an alien but I believe that most of the UFO sightings are from humans piloting those ships and trying to figure out how they work. What happens in Area 51 area is pretty much that. Air Force pilots playing around with spacecrafts. There is also an Area 53 that doesn't get talked much about but it exists and isn't talked about much. |
Lol at invasions from transformers and hobbits. Although transformers are aliens no?
And I think whoever mentioned how terrible most governments are at keeping secrets was on to something. I mean.. there are some people who come out and say they've worked for the military and seen UFOs and stuff - but we just dismiss them as conspiracy theorist... Actually that didn't strengthen my own position, but I just like playing devil advocate. |
If there is life on other planets, then we should not know about it, because we'd go and do something idiotic like declare war on them or try and kidnap them for our own research, and they'd just up and nuke us.
Honestly, we as a species can't handle that information. If there is life outside of Earth, it hasn't destroyed us yet, so we ought not give it a reason to. |

-There are on the order of 100,000,000,000 (one hundred billion) galaxies in the universe, as far as our telescopes can detect.
-Some of these galaxies may hold up to 100,000,000,000 stars, but most galaxies probably contain at least 10,000,000,000 (ten billion) stars. -Young galaxies may not have formed many solar systems yet, while very old galaxies may have very few solar systems left. For the galaxies of middle age, as many as 1/4 of the stars may possess solar systems. Assuming for practical and computational purposes that 1/3 of galaxies are of "middle age" and full of stars, you get: (3.33 x 10^10 galaxies) times (1.00 x 10^10 stars) times (1/4) = conservatively and roughly 8.325 x 10^19 stars with solar systems in our universe. That's 83 billion billion (83 with eighteen zeros after it) other stars with solar systems in the universe. To me, it's a statistical inevitability that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe. Alien life is not something you "believe in", it's pretty much something that exists, but we have yet to discover. |
