aliens true or false?

Question

I do not think that aliens exist. Here is my reason why for as far as the largest telescopes can see there is no other life. This is so far that even at the speed of light nothing would be able to make it here. Also the bible if or most other religions say nothing about it. Jesus came as a human not as a alien.

Answer 1

So you don't believe in aliens because the bible doesn't mention them. In that case do you belive gravity exist? The chances that there is other "intelligent" life out there are great. You and I both can't even begin to fathom the size of our universe. To say we are the only "intelligent" life in this whole universe is a very bold statement, to say the least.

Plus even if they are only one thousand years ahead of us, look at where we were one thousand years ago and look at where we are now. That's a huge difference in technology. Who's to say they haven't found "shortcuts" on how to traverse to great distances of space. Plus saying they only have a one thousand year head start was just me being generous. Imagine what they could do with a one million year head start or even a one billion year head start.

Answer 2

Hmmm... let's see... did the bible or any other religious text predict nuclear energy, electricity, chemical reactions? no... So why should it predict aliens?
Telescopes can't really see very (relatively) far either. Aliens probably live on a planet or natural satellite, and the only ones of which we have seen the surface are in the solar system. There are only 8 planets here (with the recent exclusion of Pluto) and even if we did include it and all the natural satellites, there still isn't a fairly good chance of seeing aliens. We would have to see the surface f planets far from our own solar system to be able to have a chance of seeing aliens.
Besides, it's ridiculous to not take into account the humongous odds that in at least one of the billions of stars we see at night there is at least one planet which can support life and does indeed support it. It would be ignorance to think that we're the only only ones in this humongous universe.
No clear evidence has been gathered about them, but I say the odds of their existence are pretty good.
The nearest star to our solar system is 4 light years away. This means that even if we traveled at the speed of light, we would take 4 years to reach it. This does complicate communication between aliens and humans, and rather explains why these aliens have not reached us yet.

Answer 3

Yeah, um, our 'largest' telescopes can only see a tiny portion of the existing universe.

And I don't believe in God, so if life could arise naturally on this planet there is a good chance life has also started on another planet. With such a big universe its damn near unavoidable.

Two problems, and why I think we will never see 'them':
- distance
- time

Distances on a universal scale are REALLY, REALLY, REALLY large. Traveling them in no mean feat. And faster-than-light travel is bunk. Even close to c speeds would be extremely dangerous.

And time. The universe is some 13.7 billion years old. Earth, 4.6 billion. Life here began some 3.7 billion years ago. There is no reason why life should start simultaneously everywhere, maybe we are behind the curve or ahead of it. Not all life on all planets will survive. Not all life on all planets will evolve to intelligent self-aware life.

Answer 4

I know bible doesn't say anything about aliens ... in fact they think earth is the only place with life ..

I don't know about other religions, but in Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism and probably a few other, I know they mentioned of being of other "worlds" noticeably intelligent being outside our "Xu Mi Shan" or in personal view some place our galaxy revolves on.

In Buddhism, there are mentioned of 3000 big thousand world and every thousand world there are thousands and thousands of immeasurable worlds. In fact there are different intelligent being in these worlds.

And you are right to say Jesus was a human ..... and died a human ;).

Just for your information, the Hubble Telescope cannot see beyond our galaxy clearly, not to mention other galaxies. ;). Anyway, since we are at the topic .... do you know Hubble Telescope actually recorded the forming of the Eagle Nebula about 7000 light years away (meaning if you travelled at the speed of light, you will need 7000 years to reach there), creating a new galaxy, known to be our galaxy's baby twin ..... hmmm .... how's that for god created earth?

Answer 5

I can't imagine that, with the universe just as truly, inconceivably huge as it is, that there is no other life in it other than what exists here on this planet. We've found stars that have planets in their orbits. We've found planets that are roughly the same size as earth. There's every reason to believe that there are millions, or perhaps billions of such planets. The fact that aliens haven't come to this planet may well be due to the above-mentioned hugeness of the universe, and how very far away all those other planets are.

And you can't even begin to take The Bible as a legitimate authority on such subjects.

Answer 6

1) out of the millions of planets that there are out there, you think that earth is the only planet with living beings on it?
2) telescopes can see planets but can't see through their atmostpheres. That's why NASA has sent many satellites out. We have many upclose pictures of Mars (a rover is on it now), Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. That's it. There is water running on Saturn now that they've just found and water on a moon of Jupiter. Water may mean life. But no telescope has seen a surface of a planet ever.
3)Just because a UFO hasn't ever landing on earth doesn't mean other life forms don't exist somewhere out there. Why would God create all those planets and only have us here?
4) Jesus came to earth as a man so man would relate to Him. If He came as a large green 3-eyed slimey alien, mankind would run away screaming or try to kill Him right away. Of course Jesus came as a man. God created man in His image, so why wouldn't He have Jesus be in the same image? Make perfect sense to me.

5) There are so much out there that we have no idea even exists. God created all, seen and unseen. So it's possible that He created other living beings. We just call them aliens because they are from other planets, not from earth. Remember in the Bible, people from foreign lands were called aliens. And Americans still call illegal Mexicans illegal aliens. They aren't green little men.

Answer 7

Did or did not the bible say anything about dinosaurs,? Does that mean they did not exist.? Or did the bible or did the bible not say anything about cave people. Did they exist. These things have been proven. Have they not. ?

If there are no aliens why need all that space.? For just us. I do not think so.

Jesus' and going has nothing to do with aliens.

Answer 8

Aliens are real you can't say they're not. The univerese is a big place and just because we try looking for life doesn't always mean we are going to find it. You never know what another plant with life might have. They might have had a 10 million head start. They might find ways to travel faster then the speed of time. Anything is possible!!!

Answer 9

aliens are one of those things that can't be PROVEN wrong, only infinitely postponed (you know, like Revelations). But there are billions and billions of planets, to think that there is no other life might be a little arrogant. And you need to define "alien" as conscious beings vs just bacteria somewhere. If we found primative organisms on some planet, would that prove religion wrong? No. So no life doesn't prove it right.

Answer 10

Does life exist in the universe? Of course it does, we are here.
Is there other life in the universe? In all likelihood, yes.

Why would the fact that it's too far away to see it or contact stop it from existing?

Imagine a field of grass that covers. say, one square mile.
You randomly pick a single blade and examine closely.
You cannot find a single instance of animal life on it.
Should you then conclude that there is no animal life in the entire field? Would that even occur to you?

Then why, in a universe that has millions, perhaps
billions more stars then there are blades of grass in the field, would you conclude there is no life out there.
