Do u think we're alone in the universe, and why??

Question

Please avoid going on religious tangents. I am not religious, i'm spiritual. And yes there's a big difference between the two.

Answer 1

I think humans are arrogant in their firm belief that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. The Earth is dying, it is not even the size of a grain of sand compared to the universe as a whole, it seems stupid to think that once the Earth is gone the entire Universe will serve no purpose. We haven't even explored our own solar system, yet we believe that we are all alone.... Go figure

Answer 2

Absolutely not. The universe is just so immensely huge and the chemical elements that life is made of are everywhere. If intelligent life can form on an obscure star on the fringe of an average galaxy, it's bound to happen elsewhere.

Answer 3

I have just answered to this question on ''answers italy''.

I think thath quite probably we are alone in the universe for a number of reasons.

It is true that in our galaxi there are about 100 billions of stars, that
in the observable universe there are about 100billion of galaxies.

A first reason is that in a galaxy a star with a planetary system where life might develop must lie in a presise location in the galaxy, not too near the center of the galaxy ando not too near the edge. The same holds true for a planetary system around a star: not too near to yhe local sun, not too far for obvious reasons. A planet similar to the earth must have a moon for stabilizing the spinning axis of the planet, in addition a lot of ancillary conditions that would too long to explain.

Another reason very important indeed is that if we consider our planet, the earth the evolutionhas developed only a species intelligent the ****, in a region of africa. This species **** then colonized dte whole ''supercontinent africa-europe-asia.''

The americas were colonized only very recently.

But in the americas there were monkeys that are not very different from our ancestor, a species of ape.

So you can see that if we exist on our planet so prone to intelligent life, men developed only in africa. Consequently in another planet of our galaxy or another galaxy, the chances of
the development of another intelligent species like our are so small to be considered virtually nihl - nothing - nada - niente-

This leads me to consider tha we, most probably, are alone in the universe.

The preceding answers ''i believe'' cannot be accepted in my modest opinio.

Answer 4

I'm sure there is. I doubt its like on si fi shows like star gate or star trak, but the further technology advances, the more we know about the galaxy and space, If space and the galaxies go on forever there HAS to be more out there. I wish I could be alive to see the day that we discover life on other planets in a galaxy far far away... It'd just be interesting

Answer 5

I believe there are other forms of life in the universe, however they may not be smarter than us like most people imagine, like aliens flying UFO's, but they are problem many other things in this universe, i believe that were not alone

Answer 6

No, we're not alone. Even if the odds of life elsewhere are 1 in a billion, there are thousands of planets out there with life. Possibly not life as WE know it, but it's out there.

Answer 7

I believe there are other life forms in the universe.
They are just too far away to get to us and we can't get to them without warp technology.

Answer 8

the universe is really really really really big. i do simply believe that something's there and we're not alone.

Answer 9

i believe so this place is too big not to
