when u look up at the stars in the sky do u ever wonder if there are other life forms?

Question

as an athist i believe there is life out there what do u believe?

Answer 1

Yea i Wonder, but as a man of science I have to consider evidence.
There is no evidence of ET life.

Answer 2

I definitely wonder,and I also wonder whether it might be intelligent life,since there's very little of that here on Earth. As I see it whether you are a creationist or an evolutionist you would have to acknowledge at least the possibility,in fact if your belief is creation it seems you would be more likely to believe. After all if you believe in evolution then the sheer volume of stars/suns with potential planets surrounding them,make it almost a mathematical impossibility that we would be the only life in existence. And if you believe in creation then the arrogance involved in thinking that a flyspeck on the face of the universe like mankind could possibly be enough to satisfy the total attentions of an omnipresent omnipotent being like God is an arrogance that almost cannot be measured.

Answer 3

I wonder all the time. Eventhough there is no direct evidence, there has to be other life forms beyond Earth. Astronomers believe that there are at least 100 billion galaxies within the range of our most powerful telescopes. Our Milky Way galaxy would be like a grain of sand on a beach. Actually there are more galaxies than there are grains of sand in all the beaches of the world. How can our ordinary sun be the only with life? It doesn't make sense.

Answer 4

Sure--I believe there is other life out there, we are such a minute speck in the universe, but the religious people think we are all important. As to whether we will actually ever see any other races--who knows. Space is so immense, we cannot fathom its size. We may have evolved in a less-populated area of space, so our nearest neighbors may be 100's of light years away.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) site estimates there is hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. A recent German super-computer simulation estimates that the number may be as high as 500 billion!

From NASA:
So far, astronomers have found about 70 solar systems in our galaxy and are discovering new ones every year. Given how many they have found in this neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, scientists estimate that there may be many billions of solar systems in our galaxy. Whether this estimate is correct, and how similar other solar systems are to ours, remain to be seen. It has only been a few years since the first solar system apart from ours was detected, so this whole subject is still in its infancy.

Answer 5

Yes, I think about it frequently. I don't think a lack of evidence means anything though. It just proves how vast time and space are. People thought the earth was flat until they had the technology to prove otherwise. We can't explore much of space so we don't know, but it is typical of people to think they are the only ones if that is how it appears. The Samoans used to think they were the only ones on earth until foreigners arrived in ships. I absolutely believe there is, or has been, life elsewhere in space. With billions of stars up there chances are good, I say.

Answer 6

I once lay on the ground looking up at the stars, it was so clear the myriads of stars that make up the Milky Way looked like a ghostly cloud. The North star was easy to find as the Great Bear and Cassiopeia stood out in the pitch dark like beacons of hope for the lost and weary. Venus was so bright you could see it pulsing, and changing shape and colour as the light played tricks with my eyes. There was something so spiritual about that night, but the only thing I could wonder was, , , "Which wanker has nicked my tent"?

Answer 7

Stars do no longer particularly only "turn off," because it have been. it somewhat is extra that all of them evolve, changing irreversibly to 3 different state. the main predictor of while and how everyone does it somewhat is the quantity of mass it began with. intense-mass stars will end spectacularly in supernova explosions. a number of of those have been documented in our own Galaxy, yet in particularly a number of them are suggested each twelve months in distinctive distant galaxies, because of the fact there are a number of of galaxies, and the supernovas are so extremely shiny they could be considered from far around the universe. Supernovas effect in the two neutron stars or, for the main huge stars, black holes. by the variety, yet another variety of stellar "dying," (i do unlike that element era, in spite of the undeniable fact that it somewhat is cliche), is what's called a variety A supernova form 1a supernovas ensue in binary megastar structures, the place count is being transferred from a purple good sized to a white dwarf, and the white dward hence reaches an substantial decrease -- the Chandrasekhar decrease of a pair of million.38 image voltaic hundreds -- and while it explodes somewhat no longer something maintains to be of it.

Answer 8

I do believe there are other life forms out there. There are many stories in Aboriginal Dreamtime that describe "ascending to meet the sky god" that sound resoundingly close to the classical description of an alien abduction.

Answer 9

Quite often, what else do I have to do while my dog is taking care of business? It's hard not to when you see all of those stars and wonder if there are planets around each of them, I know the ideal situation for life to grow is a very narrow window but its hard to think that somewhere out there at least one more planet besides our own is not fortunate enough to have this opportunity. They might not even be as advanced as us, maybe they are. oh man, I could go on...

Answer 10

There are some theories of life elsewhere, and some fair evidential support for the theories. No concrete proof. I believe it is possible. I am more concerned about evolution, or runaway speculation.

Answer 11

It would not surprise me if there were, but it would surprise me considerably if we were able to have some sort of contact with such, and it would utterly astound me if such contact was in the form of a physical presence. The enormous distances, and limitations imposed by the speed of light, make such contact most unlikely.
