Do you think we're alone in this universe?

Answer 1

Not even close. We may never discover ET life, but it's out there.

Answer 2

"The frog in the well" logic, illustrates that a frog residing in the atmosphere and boundary of a well cannot imagine the length and breadth of the gigantic ocean. Such a frog, when informed of the gigantic length and breadth of the ocean, first of all does not believe that there is such an ocean, and if someone assures him that factually there is such a thing, the frog then begins to measure it by imagination by means of pumping its belly as far as possible, with the result that the tiny abdomen of the frog bursts and the poor frog dies without any experience of the actual ocean. Similarly, the material scientists also want to challenge the inconceivable potency of the Lord by measuring Him with their froglike brains and their scientific achievements, but at the end they simply die unsuccessfully, like the frog. We can understand that in every planet and in every atmosphere there are living entities.
Each universe is filled up with unlimited numbers of living entities who inhabit all of the planets.

Answer 3

Alone? According to the following Scientists, we don't even exist.

They independently listed the 99 requirements needed to start and sustain life on any planet.

Then they were summarized as follows:

"By putting together probabilities for each of these design features occurring by chance, we can calculate the probability of the existence of a planet like Earth. This probability is 1 chance in 10 to the 99th power. Since there are estimated to be a maximum of 10 to the 23rd power, planets in the universe (10 planets/star), by chance there shouldn't be any planets capable of supporting life in the universe. ... In a recent survey of globular cluster 47 Tucanae, scientists found zero extrasolar planets out of 37,000 stars searched." by Dr. Hugh Ross

Is anyone interested in the requirements to start and sustain life on a Planet? - e- mail me for the 99 requirements.

For example if a planet does not have enough metallic mass, it will not have a gravity sufficient to keep the water from evaporating or simply splattering or floating into outer space. (Water is subject to gravity)

Answer 4

No. The universe is really big. The real question is if the nearest intelligent civilization is close enough to us that we would ever meet in the future. Depending on how rare intelligent life is, that could easily happen.

Answer 5

We are never alone. The problem is you only rely one what you can see, touch, smell and hear. Its very arrogant to think all life forms exist on the same frequency we do, and to assume you can see them.

Ever see a dog (who has a faster frame rate of vision) barking or reacting to something or someone seemingly not there - nothing you can see? That should in itself clue you in.

Answer 6

God is the God of all spirits. If there is more to His creation then we are experiencing at this time it would surprise me. I actually believe that we are only in the beginning process of intellegent animated beings. This is the proving ground that will lead us into total understanding, but we have to come beyond the mundane mind set of the natural man and get back into the creative mind of Christ. We have been given the rope to hang ourselves which humanity continues to do. I believe that the experience is about to move on with a fragment that has found the way through Christ. It is like existance up to now, has been boot camp, and now we are heading into the all knowing mind of God. If we have chosen the right path, we will be able someday to create the way God creates, from vision to manifestation. He will not allow anyone to ever have the keys to creation without His full mind.

Answer 7

No. There are other galaxies and solar systems in this huge universe, and more than likely at least one planet has a life-friendly atmosphere, and life flourishes on that planet, just as it does here. But that's just my opinion.

Answer 8

No way, the universe is filled with life!

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

I hope not, and I don't think we are. I saw something once that I couldn't explain. So I think there's a good possibility that there is something out there. Just not God.

Answer 11

Nah. There are several scientific-y equations that make it next to impossible for ONLY us to exist in the world.
