What are the chances you think that humans being are only life in the universe?

Answer 1

In my opinion the chances of extra-terrestrial existence are very slim. Life is a biggest wonder of nature. Such coincidences cannot happen that frequently.

We are not sure about the origins of life in this planet. The best theory that scientists can offer is "Hot primeval soup theory" which doesn't sound that convincing.

We thought that we have solved the mystery of "life" by preparing ammonia or uric acid from inorganic matter in laboratory. But the real test lies in making a living cell from organic matter.

Life is so different from all other non-living matter. Just look at its organized structure, the cell, the membrane, the DNA, everything about it. And if you are not satisfied then look at its attributes, growth, movement, reproduction, consciousness, self-awareness. It will always remain a mystery of nature.

Answer 2

I think the chances are very, very slim that we are alone. However I think that it is possible that even if many civilisations exist out there, we'll never contact them because the distances are so vast, so only if one of these civilisations masters faster-than-light travel (if it is possible), will we ever have contact with them.

Why do I think that?

You have about 100 billion stars in our galaxy. You have about 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. Astronomers have started looking for planets around other stars only 10 years ago, and decent tools to do this will only be put in orbit in the near future, but we already know over 150 of those planets.

It seems increasingly likely that pretty much every star has planets around it, and that the closer ones are small rocky planets like the Earth. So we're talking probably dozens of billions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone.

Of course they'd need to be at just the right distance (Venus too close, Mars too far), and have a suitable star. But it seems you'd need a lot of bad luck to not have a single suitable one, and more probably, many.

But again, the universe is vast. Closest stars a couple light-years away. Signals would travel that far but become so faint you might miss them. And with further stars you wouldn't hear anything. So you'd need faster-than-light travel, if you want to communicate. We don't have it, and I don't know whether we ever will, and if so how long it might take to develop it, hundreds or thousands of years?

Answer 4

The bird chirping outside my window says no, humans are not the only life in the universe.

Answer 5

What are the chances I think that humans being are only life in the universe? 0

Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, prophet-founder of the Baha'i Faith says something to the effect that every sun (my understanding is that all of the sparkling stars are suns, and the unsparkling ones are planets) has its planets; and, every planet, its creatures unnumbered.

Answer 6

well.. i think if the earth can evolve why not any other planet can evolve ....so i dont think that human is only ones in this universe being speaking scientifically......... earth has evolved from star called sun............ and we know there are 100 millions.. infinity.. of stars out of that a 1 earth cannot evolve......... so ma ans is there can be 2 earths or u say other human beings so called aliens

Answer 7

Well if humans continue to destroy the rainforrests and cause animals to go into extinction. Yes. But there is plenty of life on Earth. I'm not so sure about other planets though, which I think is where you are refering to.

Answer 8

I do not believe we are alone in the universe but real interested in knowing about other life forms.

Answer 9

Zero. Humans aren't even the only life on earth. We're just one species among thousands.

Answer 10

No chance at all. How boring things would be without mysteries such as these. Wouldn't it be cool to meet some other life forms?
