Do you think there is life in outer space?

Question

Consider this:
There are billions of other stars and solar systems just like our own, and it is very presumptuous of us to think that we are the center of the universe. Even if you believe in a higher power (I do), it seems very unlikely that God would have based the entire universe around earth and humans. I mean, why stop with us?

Answer 1

I believe other intelligent human like beings occupy a planet much like Earth out there.....somewhere. Carl Sagan, before his death, posed the very idea quoted by Tom Skeritt in his argument with Jodie Foster, justifying his character's ending her SETI research and it went something like this:

Either two possibilities exist in outer space: 1: We're alone: nothing else out there but dwarf stars and noble gases or 2: Intelligent humanoid life exists on another Earth-like planet...but they're so far away, neither they or we have the technology to visit the other's solar system--much less their other planet.

A ascribed believer of the latter idea posed, I can only wonder where they are and when we will meet them.

Answer 2

There are hundreds of billions of other stars in our own galaxy, and billions of other galaxies, many of them much larger than our own (OK, so there is also a big bunch that are much smaller too.) We have now discovered hundreds of other planets in our galaxy and they are all relatively close to us compared to the huge size of our galaxy. Our technology is just at the edge of being able to make those discoveries. So the fact that we have only found giant objects at this point doesn't bother me because i know that we will find earth-like planets very soon as our telescopes and sensors improve. To me, it is inconceivable that we are the only living civilization in the universe. What we find may bear absolutely no resemblance to anything that we are familiar with, but i cannot imagine that we will never discover any other form of intelligent life somewhere. (Because of the distances involved, i don't think that we will ever have anything closely resembling an intelligent conversation!) In fact, there are probably a quadrillion sun-like stars out there older than ours! Despite what another respondent has claimed, we have NOT found DNA anywhere else, including on meteorites. We have, however, found other, simple and even a few complex chemicals that we associate with life, so i believe that the basics of life have been seeded everywhere in the universe. And if that stuff can meld together to form intelligent life in one place, then why not a billion other places? Heck, we still haven't totally eliminated the chance of primitive life elsewhere in our own solar system yet! It is quite probable that there are actually oceans of water, although covered with incredibly thick crusts of ice, on two moons of Jupiter; and we know that water exists on the surface of Mars, although not as oceans or lakes or rivers. When you consider that those moons and that planet were made from the same star dust as our planet, you can only wonder about the possibilities...

Answer 3

Now you consider this:even though our type of mass is the rarest type of mass in our universe,our entire planet is covered with it.With 1 out of 9 planets being saturated with life within our own solar system and the fact that there are trillions of stars,with planet systems much like earths,in our known universe,there has to be an incredible amount of life out there...tom science

Answer 4

There is life in outer space. Research on relics they left behind on earth. Consider ancient landmarks in Peru, Egypt, England, to name a few. Read "Gods from Outer Space" and "Miracles of the Gods" written by Erick Von Danicken.

Answer 5

Yes, there is every possibility, even if you do not believe in God. There are likely to be millions of stars like Sun which may have solar system of its own. So there is good chance of having life on one of its planets.

Answer 6

We used to think that there was no life on Antarctica (besides penguins), inside volcanos, and many other places that there is life. Why would God stop with Earth? He could have created life on some other planet just waiting for us to discover it.

I think that life arising elsewhere in Space is just as unlikely as it was here...but it did happen here, by some means or another.

Answer 7

I think there are so many other living beings out there. I wish I could see everything thats out there, because its so interesting. Why would god only create us with the power to create many beings, if I had power like god I wouldn't stop creating.

Answer 8

Quite surely. As that is the case the quantity and quality of life in outer space.

Answer 9

yes. I do belive that there could possibly be life in outter space.Scientists have concluded that there is life out there by testing rocks and metoriods and have found that there is old water and dna possibly from life beyond our galaxy.The sad thing is is that we may never be able to reach them because the universe is blue-shifting( going away from the sun) and expanding:(

Answer 10

Your element looks slightly out of concentration. "Is there alien life in outer area?" no one is acquainted with. comments are beside the point. "i think that there are aliens in outer area"... that's beside the point what you think. we do not know. "...who're purely sitting there of their domicile planet waiting for ours to burn to shreds." This one we DO know. Sorry, there are actually not any aliens waiting and watching the Earth. "i've got study articles on line concerning the drinkable water on Mars, which led me to this perception." This grew to become into from examination of water locked interior a mineral on Mars. no longer the invention of an alien eating fountain on Mars. Your leap from "H2O recent in a rock on Mars" to "no person might have believed interior the final years of the nineteenth century that this international grew to become into being watched keenly and heavily by employing intelligences extra advantageous than guy's..."

Answer 11

we came from there so if not now at lest there was
but yes chances are 200% thas there are lots of other beings out there, judging by the many UFO sitings from now all the way back to babylon
