Follow my logic: the Universe is infinite. Time is infinite. With infinite time, and infinite space, that means an infinite number of other life forms out there. If you say the Universe isn't infinite, that means it ends "somewhere". An edge. Great. What's on the other side? If you say time had to begin some time. OK, fine. What was going on before time began?
Don't give me Big Bang theories. How friggin stupid. A big egg of stuff that exploded. Wow, believeing in that is just as much a religion as Christianity. Don't give me speed of light scenarios. Our knowledge means absolutely nothing. A few hundred years ago we thought the Earth was flat and we were wiping our bottoms with our left hands, and burning witches.
I just cannot imagine that in all the universe, we're it. As Jodi Foster put it "seems like a big waste of space."

Good answers so far. However, you can't just say that the Universe is NOT infinite. Back up that argument. If it is not infinite, then it has an end. If it has an end, then what the f*ck is on the other side?????

Yes, there is, and I'm speaking to you from the planet Headroid.

I can't follow your logic, because the Universe is not infinite. It just doesn't have an edge. If it was infinite, then there would be an infinite number of civilizations out there, an infinite number of whom would have visited us everyday (are you following my infinite possibilities logic here?). The universe is finite.
Just because you cannot imagine anything before its inception, doesn't mean that it wasn't there.
Time may well be infinite. Don't assume that it is tangible. It just "is", thats all. People talk about time as if it were mutable and changeable. Don't limit your thinking to dismiss the possibility that something has always existed and that there may not be a beginning and end of Time.
The big bang is a theory, that's all. It is not a proven fact, just the best theory we have at the moment. No-one is suggesting that there was "a big egg" just sitting there waiting to explode. It may well be that the universe has a pulse of contraction and expansion (explosion), and the Big Bang is the latest of these explosions.
As to life existing on other worlds - maybe. I haven't seen any evidence to support it, though.

Surely, life exist in other planets as well. But, uncertainty lies in it. We have no proof whether there are some creatures that live on other planets or not. Aliens! Its just an imagination. It's the belief that we are in right now. But, its quiet certain to mention that there are, indeed, some creatures living on the other part of this universe. History mentions a fact of it as well - The evolutionary theories of small dust particles to current life situation. As we got born in this Earth, certainly, some other creatures must have born at other parts. Its ridicule to mention that we got born from dust particles, but why not we say that the small microscopic organism come into life through it. In the same way, some processes might have occured at other parts which might have generated other creatures. Earth isn't the only one that got born because of those particles that united to form such a whole planetorial Universe!!!

I figgure there has to be something else out there. The problem is if they ever come here they would be so much smarter than we are chances are we would be enslaved. As for what was going on before time began? Our minds have no way to comprehend such a thought. The universe is just too big, and we are too small. If you find the answers let me know. Just remember that the word infinite defines itself.

Life is abundant in the universe and we have been visiting Earth for a long time. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species and your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

UNIVERSE AIN'T INFINITE, NEVER SAY THAT thank you...
but I follow ya on the "waste of space" idea, considering the absolute vasteness of the Universe the probability of us being the only life forms out there is infinitely small.

Of course there is life elsewhere in the Universe! There has to be! Just look at the odds. There are billions and billions of stars and around those we have planets. Lets say they all have 7 to 10 planets around each sun. There has to be life on at least one of those billions of planets.
Now if you are asking about intelligent life that is debatable. We won't know until we make contact. But life; I have no doubt it exists somewhere.

This is a question that will be asked for years to come. Until the ending of a new beginning. I would like to think there is other life out there. And if there is they must be asking the same questions.

No one really knows for sure, but the odds are
yes, there is some type of life out there somewhere, even if it is only as small as a cell
in a bacteria specimen. As long as the carbon element may exist somewhere else, life may exist also.

I was hoping to send my blogs into space --you never know who's gonna read them!!
Maybe, even you're question! So, they can see our answers!!!
God is not of this Earth, so by definition he's an alien. Or at least counts as life elsewhere in the universe.

My creation theory of life on earth is that bacteria arrive in meteors. That's why there is life in hot rocks.
Therefore I agree with you, as the life forms that are here arrived from SOMEWHERE in those rocks.
I think people who assume that life 'originated' on Earth are just as limited in their thinking as those who think there's none out there in the rest of the Universe.
What say you?
