besides, God already hit the reset button on earth five times, the three ages of the dinosaurs, and two major ice ages, and the three dino periods lasted millions of years each, humans have only been around a few thousand years, for all we know, we're just one more experimentMcNinja said:
I think it'd be pretty presumptuous to think that we're the only intelligent life that could exist in the universe. Just because we haven't found undeniable proof (or at least proof that's common knowledge and not covered up by the government 
) doesn't mean they're not out there.
) doesn't mean they're not out there.how can we possibly assume to know that? if you'll notice i used alot of "maybe"s in my post, that's because we don't really "know" anything about the universe, i honestly don't think our brains can handle it so don't speak in absolutesInverse Skies said:
The Universe is so big and so old that the odds of there not being some other kind of intelligent life out there are very slim indeed. Our Galaxy has over fifty billion stars in it. Just our galaxy. Think of how many stars there are that could potentially support life.
The chances of us making contact with these aliens, however, is probably very unlikely unless we somehow make Faster-Than-Light spacecraft.
Crop-circles are bullshit, and most of the people claim to have been abducted were probably high. There might of been that one guy who was really abducted, I dunno, but on the whole I say abductions are bullshit.

Totally agree, what used to be succubi are now aliens, and next century will be non-gene-bred humans (or maybe "the caucasian was in my closet again mummy", who knows) but:Anonymouse said:
To whip a dead horse a little, the lion thing - we're so far advanced to them that we can travel distances beyond their imagination in less time than it takes them to run to their next shag, yet we can't remove the right memories from there head.
Bah I tend to believe the real people who are abducted wouldn't have a clue. You never hear people in the middle of a city getting abducted, though there are all sorts of excuses for that too.
I'm more than willing to change my mind if discernable proof did come along, but until that time all you can do is quote probabilities which by your numbers gives us a 1x10^-27 chance of life occuring on another planet, which isn't very good odds.Loiosh91 said:

It can be hilarious watching the people who do believe they've been abducted though. (See Penn & Teller: Bullshit, Alien Abduction)
I refuse to beleive that Earth is the only planet that supports life in the entire universe, if that is true not only would sapce become BORING but that would mean the young earth creationists are right about something. And they must NEVER, EVER be right about ANYTHING.
Anyway.
We've discovered planets that are capable of supporting life, or at least have 'earth like conditons' so it's not hard to beleive that planets out there can support life, there's the possibility of the planet Gliese 581 c for example. Lest we forget the 'water on mars' idea. Some people might think Earth was a fluke but honestly I think the sheer number of planets in the universe have to count for something. Earth had the right conditions I beleive for life, atmopshere, gravity, water and sunlight. Those are according to most scientists the key things needed to allow life to gradually evolve, abiogenesis. The way I see it, there is no way that there can only be ONE sun, there have to be infinite numbers of them throughout the universe, it's impossible to think there's only one. Life forms HAVE to exist out there, maybe even just in the early stages of evolution just like Earth was a few billion years back.
I mean I hear they've found evidence of Micro organisms on Mars and so it's at least a start. For all we know there could be billions of planets with life on them, of all kinds. Maybe even civilisations too, I refuse to believe Earth is alone. It simply cannot be, big universe must be life out there somewhere.
I reckon that yeah maybe out there there exist planets with giant alien monsters. Intelligent civilisations of sophisticated aliens, the Sangheli warships and if we are really lucky some hot alien chicks.
Maybe there's life out there right now on other planets having similar conversations on their forums right now wondering if there is indeed life out there.
Actually I just found out that scientist got a picture of what they beleive to be fossilised bacteria on a meteorite from Mars. I'd post the picture but I don't know how, could someone maybe explain how you do it?
In the meantime look up Extraterrestrial life on Wikipedia, go to the part about direct search, it's there.

I bet this will do as proof, at least for the billions of galaxies. [http://www.jointquest.com/jointquest-old/NationalGeographicTheUniverseMap.jpg] As you can see, the universe is massive, really gargantuan, and that's not even close to describing how big it actually is. To quote The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy:kellenheller said:
And so on.
Anyway, I think the odds are pretty slim that there are no other planets with life. However, untill their is solid proof I hold my breath. So it's a "possible" for me, since the facts say nothing more then that. I sure hópe so though, but hope means nothing.
I would agree that it is very doubtful that in the entire universe, only one planet has intellegent life on on, but I do not believe that we have visitors from these other planets.
If something had set out to explore, it would either be to conquer or communicate, not just to observe for centuries.

I've always liked that picture, it's a nice representation of the universe. Still doesn't make me change my mind though.Assassinator said:
with how vast the universe is i find it hard to believe that Earth is the only planet with 'intelligent' life on it. there may not be little green men with technology far superior than out own but there must be some sort of life somewhere.
but, there water has been found on Mars
