Aliens

[Doubledealer]

for me it's not a question of if there's life....it's a question of how we would cross the vastness that lies between us.

Someone hasn't watched Event Horizon in a while...

Science cannot disprove the existence of Transformers.

they found microbes on mars!

thats not even out of our solar system......lol

Fossilised microbes. There used to be life on Mars... no evidence of life still existing on Mars now though. Though there's a theory that Mars may still have reserves of water deep underground...

The other next best bet of finding life in our star system is Jupiter's moon of Europa.

Or Macross.

You guys should read Transformers and Philosophy -- discussion thread here -- read post #2 about the reasons why contact with intelligent extra-terrestrial life probably won't be friendly.

Those 'microbes' are just a hypothesis.

It's a lot more probable that they are inorganic in origin.

I believ in U.F.O's. In the literal sense. At times we see something in the air that we cannot identify. It is therefor an unidentified flying object. Later on we might decide it was actually a cloud or whatever, but at the time it was a U.F.O

Alien life? Well the odds are probably pretty slim, but the universe is a big place, so I guess it's possible, bt considering the age of the earth and how long it has sustained life, I think the odds of finding another civilisation at the same evolutionary scale to us is remote.

Remember that the most successful species on the planet was the humble Trilobite, excluding our friend bacteria of course.

If thee be follower of Carl Sagan, then thee shall believe in extraterrestial life in the cosmos.

Ah, Event Horizon - I absolutely love that movie!

On the possibility of life outside of our Solar System? - There is and there is no question about it, the better question is: What exactly constitutes life? what is life's definition?

On the question of Alien beings visiting us? - I'm not sure of the scientists name but he put it very eloquently:

"Now, in order for Aliens to visit Earth they would have to be many millions of times more advanced than ourselves and to them, we would be nothing but mere animals compared.
So, imagine the Aliens are Us and We are a Colony of Ants - Now, why would a Supremely Advanced Race bother to come and visit us?, How often do you go and visit an Ant Colony?

The answer is you don't and for the exact same reasons why Aliens don't visit us, as they are so much more advanced than us they would be concentrating their time and efforts on doing things and solving problems we could never comprehend - Just like an Ant cannot comprehend the things we do".

Personally, I believe if we are ever to come into contact with an Alien Species, then we're not going to live long enough to even know about it.
