Why should Earth be the only planet with living being's living on it.?

Question

I believe in U.F.O's as I feel that there are other planets out there with some sort of living being on them, And they are visiting our Earth as they are as inquisitive as we are, as we send man to the moon etc.... So why say that they who or what ever they are, are not interested in how us humans live and survive on this planet. There are too many strange things on this Earth that question's us all about how they got there, like the big giant stone heads on an island and how the devils marbels appeared like they are. And so many more mysteries, on this Earth. All so my husband and I have encounted some strange lights down in NSW late one night, which people called the min min lights, these strange lights follered us for a little while then just dissapeared as quick as they came. Also I believe in Ghosts, as they are lost soul's that have not found the light that they have to go through to get to the other side like Heaven or where all souls go to when people die.

Answer 1

I also believe that there is no way that we are the only life forms out there....There just has to be more!!!!

I've never personally experienced any UFOs or other mysteries but I believe people who have, well only those who all seem to have the same description like alien sightings. All those people's description of alien beings are so similar and they all live so very very far apart (and all this happened before cell phones and email so there's no way that they know each other and made it up together) that those things have got to be real.

Answer 2

I do not believe U.F.Os are space ships from other planets. But I also believe it is about 99% probable that there are space ships from other planets out there somewhere. But none are visiting Earth because the distances between inhabited planets are too great. Earth is a needle in a haystack, with probably a billion lifeless solar systems for every inhabited one in the galaxy. Recent discoveries of planets orbiting other stars show most of them to be uninhabitable, so it seems nice Earth-like planets are quite rare. It is just another blow to the science fiction fantasies that once said there were canals on Mars and dinosaurs on Venus.

Answer 3

I believe there is life on other planets but I don't believe there are crafts from other planets doing wheelies in our skies. There is no physical proof of that. As far as ghosts, the whole tale makes no sense to me especially because we do live in the 21st century and they are carry overs from the dark ages.

Answer 4

For every star in the heavens above there is a solar system surrounding it. Stars are not born stars, they grow and mature as our Planet Jupiter is now in a state of adolescence. When it is time it will give light and warm the moons around it and change their status from moons to planets. We have 8 planets in our system. How many moons has Jupiter? More than 10 by last count. Pluto is not a member of our system as per orbital path. The moons of Jupiter are fixed in slavery along a flat plain. If each Star has but one or more planets it would be a waist of space if but one would not be an Earth.

Answer 5

It is very unlikely that earth is the only world with life considering that the sun is only one out of 80 billion in our galaxy alone that could potentially provide for it.

There is no room in the whole universe, however, for anything like the biblical god. If ghosts are souls that can´t fit into heaven, because heaven is overcrowded with suicide bombers and suicide donkey bombers, then heaven must be a really, really big place. Curious then that while we can see to the far edge of the universe we cannot see where Jesus parties with all those dinosaurs his daddy snuffed.

Answer 6

i certainly hope we are not alone, b/c if we are we've greatly missused the best opportunity of a lifetime, life it self. We have little regard for others, and ourselves evident by the self mutilation women and men do in order to look good. We continue to kill torture and maim each other in the name of war, and for what, to spread are dominance over those we think inferior than us. Life is what you make it and we have wasted a great many of ours.

Answer 7

UFO's (perhaps someone else can respond to ghosts)

First, UFO means unidentified flying object. not spacecraft from another planet. So if you see something in the flying in the sky and you don't know what it is, it's automatically a UFO. It's a very bad science to immediately conclude that the UFO is indeed a spacecraft from "not earth".

Difference between good science and bad science is this. good science, you observe phenomena, make hypothesis around all observations, test hypothesis, develop theories etc. bad science. you have a concept and you look for one piece of data to support that concept while ignoring all other observations, then propose your concept as a theory. bad science because I can prove anything that way.

Other observations to consider regarding UFO's

1) life....

on earth, our lives are based on hydrocarbon molecules. our definition of life is based on what we observe here. ie. reproduces, responds to stimuli, eats, reproduces, terminates, etc. And these observations are based on what we observe in our timeframe. ie we live for what 75 years? observe movement and reactions on a second to second basis? Who's to say that life on another planet would fit our definition and would exhibit responses in the same timeframe that we are used to. If life does exist, perhaps it's based on silicon and it's movements would be based on a millenia clock and perhaps it gets it's energy from radiation. who knows?

2. other earth like planets.

Our earth is a very special place. it's temperature extremes are what -90C to + 60 C. that's a 150 C variation from pole to equator. Seasonal variation where I live in Chicago is about 50 C in the most extreme cases. why? a balance of radioactive decay of Uranium in the earth and sunlight and energy escaping into space as the planet orbits the sun at 93 million miles at just the right speed to not spiral into it. We have an atmosphere that has just the right concentration of oxygen to not spontaneously ignite, to allow us air to breathe, etc. We have running water to drink, rain, etc. It's a very special place. Are there other planets exactly like this? very unlikely but it's possible. Would life necessarily exist on earthlike planets? no. it's possible but not a given.

3. Distance.

For all of you who think distance isn't important. think again. The next closest star to our solar system is proxima centauri and is 4.2 light years away. The closest known exoplanet,HD 189733b, is 63 light years away and is 1600 °F. there are 218 known exoplanets. Most are say 10 or 20 thousand light years away. The fastest spacecraft we have created can travel about 1/5000 th the speed of light. We certainly can't go to even HD 189733b and live to tell about it (round trip would take 630,000 years at our current speeds). Even if we could travel at the speed of light, from the moment we left earth to the moment we returned from a trip to our nearest exoplanet at least 130 years would have passed.

4. For those who argue, but maybe other civilizations can warp space time....

The distance from earth to the edge of the Visible universe is about 50 billion light years. The age of the earth is only about 5 billion years. from the moment earth was born until now, light from the earth has only traveled 5 billion light years. let's assume the light traveled outward in a sphere and the universe is spherical. therefore the amount of the universe our light reached = (4/3 x pi x (5 x 10^9)^3) / ((4/3 x pi x (5 x 10^10)^3)) = 1/1000th of the universe.

the earliest known life forms on earth were 2 billion years ago. 1/15,000 of the universe. Dinosaurs. 230 million years ago. 1 billionth of the Universe. man. 200,000 years ago. 1/10^18 th of the universe. that is 1 billionth of a billionth. the winning lotto number is 1 in 200 million for perspective.

point is this. if you were standing on a faraway planet searching the infinite number of stars for planets that appear to be interesting and you looked directly at earth, and if you could see earth (that's difficult since the light from our sun interferes and washes out the light from earth to exoplanets) you would have to be very very close to earth relative to the entire universe to even see anything interesting in the first place.

On the one hand there are UFO's. On the other, there is the problem with would other life recognize us as life? would they be close enough to earth to see us? do they have spacecraft that can get here quickly? could they even exist on our planet. We certainly could not exist on 1600°F planet. So I ask you, what's a more probable explanation for UFO's. Aliens, or man made flying objects that you don't recognize.

Answer 8

If we're going to believe our astronomers and astrobiologists, it's because the Earth is within what they call the habitable zone. Two more planets are within this zone, Mars and Venus but, as it seems, they didn't make it.

To carry on, the most likely scenario is that life on Earth started with alien intervention one way or another. Panspermia hypothesis some would say, others claim Aliens but I wouldn't like to go further on this as I'm not an expert.

Answer 9

It isn't, they have found some sort of life on other planets, mostly bacteria in the water, but as far as any creatures of beings like us, they have found anything.

The only thing anyone has to go on are these sightings, which some are true and some aren't true, no one really knows, because it's only from a distance, nothing super close to get a real good look at it.

Answer 10

of course mankind isn't alone.
its just our insecurities and arrogance that allows us believe that!
in all honesty, earth is the dumping ground for all other lifeforms trying to rid themselves of their criminals and nasties! how else do you explain all the different races, religions and animals found here?
