Search through google or yahoo for a picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope called the Hubble Deep Field. It's pretty cool. Everything in the picture is a galaxy, not just a star. Now, keep in mind a couple things. One it was taken of a picture of what usually appears to be blank sky. And, it covers a patch of sky that would be obscured by holding a dime at arm's length--i.e. not much. And there are hundreds if not thousands of galaxies in the picture. Now with all those stars and potential planets out there how can we be so conceited to think we're the only ones in the universe. Like the line in the movie Contact: "..it's such an awful waste of space."

I do. It is amazing how many more galaxies they keep "finding" they have always been there, and there are stars that are larger than our very own sun that burn hotter and have been there longer than our own solar systems existence. It would be foolish to think that we are the only ones in such a massive space. Also somewhat of a spiritual reason, I can't believe that a God as amazing and powerful as he is would only create us humans, you look at the different kinds of animals and plants and even planets and it would be very naive to think that he wouldn't create other wonderful worlds, I just don't think that they are allowed near us because we are imperfect and a vast majority of humans are violent (how many people would kill an alien good or bad just for a price or for fame?) So spiritually I believe that they are kept away for their own protection and that they do in fact exist.

I don't know...but I think it's weird when there's something about the Roswell incident, and people interviewed say that the military started out saying it was a flying saucer...then switched to weather balloon. Plus, it seems odd if this is really the only planet in the entire universe with significant life on it. If aliens do exist, I'm just not sure how possible it is for them to travel such distances.

Yes. I think the universe is big enough and diverse enough that there should be many places where life of some sort could develope. Evolution takes a long time and the universe is young so even if there aren't aliens yet there might be in a few billion years.

Yes. Because there are at least 7*10^22 stars out there. That's 7 with 22 zeros. What are the chances that only the Sun can provide life?

Because the Mira system is lets say er, all of Earth's countries are alien to us.
Aliens do exist but maybe I saw their tech but not their bodies.
Tech from Tokyo.
PS. Aliens DO Exist. (*"ADOE"*)!

It is entirely possible for there to be life on other worlds, weather or not they look like us is another topic altogether, and if life does exist that looks like us I don't believe that it is possible for them to get here given the vast distances they would have to travel. Max speed of 99.99 the speed of light is not fast enough to get very far in space.

yes . We can't be the only ones in the universe. There more than 100 billion star out there so what are the odds of one star having habitable planet. The odds are good enough for me.

It is such a vast universe,and if our life can be supported why can't other life be supported?We adjusted to the earth and to our surroundings (the earth didn't adjust to us) I'm sure others can be adjusted to their planets. Howver, I don't believe there is any more life in this solar system.

Seems kind of stupid not to, given the incredible odds against it and the fact that there are extraterrestrial bacteria in our upper atmosphere right now.
