Do you believe there is intelligence equal to or greater than humanity in the universe?

Answer 1

Thats the Big Question. Either way, the answser is incredible. Yes, there is--wow, the possibilities are so vast its incomprehensible. No, there isn't--and then, we are It. We are alone. Everything in the whole universe, 18 billion light years wide and 18 billion years old, rests on us. Either way is so vast in its implications. I tend to believe there is other, greater intelligence than ours in the universe, mainly because the universe is so huge. I would love to live long enough to see that happen--to see intelligent life discovered.

Answer 2

I firmly believe that God will finish what He started here before He sends anyone to the next abode (planet)... Humans, and angels alike, need to learn the lesson of a life-time before everything goes back to normal, when we finally fill this one planet as He originally wanted us to, and then, only then, will we have the choice of beginning to fill the next one and the next one and the next one, forever and ever and ever! With all of my heart, mind and soul, this is what I believe as I understand what God's universal issue is that must be solved before we can all go on with the promised life to come when all of it will finally come crystal clear to all as He did create us in His image, to live and enjoy life forever! Scientists know that this body wasn't meant to grow old and die and to this day, they don't understand that the only reason that it does is revealed in the Bible, the only book on earth claiming divine inspiration, namely that death is the wages of sin... Soon, there will be no more sin, when Satan and his demons are thrown in the Abyss at last and then we will know what the meaning of life really is! No more pain, tears, sorrow and even death will be a thing of the past! An old ancient dream of things gone by!

Answer 3

How big is the ego of a person that thinks that the standard of intelligence in the universe is their own? We have no idea if other life forms are more or less evolved than our own. We are still killing the other life forms on our own planet. What would we do if we encountered a life from another planet? Kill it?

Answer 4

Yes I believe there is. I have seen angels(which r Spirit) myself and am sure that there is Spirit that claims the vast universe so why would there not be that same or greater intelligence.

Answer 5

I know, without a doubt, there is an intelligence greater than humanity in the universe, and that is God. No one is greater than God in intelligence, because all things exist because he willed it to be. Our own intelligence is tiny, feeble light compared to his overpowering blinding light. I liken it to lighting a candle in broad daylight outside. No comparison, man. (And no, there are no aliens)

Answer 6

Hi, well... since intelligence is in itself a human construct, same as humanity, I do not know if there is or there is not. I do know that intelligence, as sex, is extremelly over rated. Too many intelligent people are incomplete and even emotionally handicaped since they are too centered in developing their intelligence and have no time to develop as humans.

In some places, rather not specify, it is such a valued human charcteristic, that it is used to discriminate too often on the basis of tests which are not only ridiculous but also dveloped upon the assumption that the testees are interested and motivated to prove their betterness.

Seems some do not consider, think or evaluate that their betterness will have certain consecuences, amongst which are many negative ones as peer rejection, social greed, and even some of the intelligents might end up as objects for display, some kind of circus freaks, and hence they did not even conside these possible consequences when doing the test. And that does not seem very intelligent, at least from my perspective.

If we defined intelligence as the number of correct assumtions answered in function of time, we would understand that intelligence and faith are quite related, and while I have nothing against this, often the leap of faith means you are ready to accept, even need to accept, without reflection or critic certain norms, rules, values and concepts that might be incorrect and then intelligence itself would become a detterent of Knowledge.

Also since intelligence is a function of time, velocity specially, it is relative, in the best case scenario, and depends on the methods developed to test it, which I might add, are quite ludicrous as well as hysterically funny. In fact not long ago certain leaders within the intelligence research comunity suggested and recommended to stop all testing since measurements for all of the reasons mentioned should not be trusted. Yet as usual with important recommendations many interested parties, ignored these recommendations as many others, and many times before, for interested reasons.

I remember an american friend that came to our school from one of those mythical superior intstituions dedicated to develop or better, harvest, intelligent beings. The poor Raimon was a real mess. I remember he fell into the school´s swimming pool and he locked himself in a room, and would not come out, due to the shame of commiting such an unpardonable error. He was a nice chap but had huge self awareness and social awarennes problems.

Regardless since the term humanity is also a human construct, lets us be redundant for a second, I do not believe inteeligence as we undestand it exists outside our planet.

However I do understand what you are asking, and I can only say that if what you mean is some kind of superior being or beings, or a primordial cause I am just too ignorant to know.

Heard about him, in religion, also about her in mithology, also about them in TV and fiction media, and even at some of the most prestigious corrridors of Academia, but I dont know.

For answering sake I will take a one of those vertiginous leaps of faith and say that Science has not proved it or disproved it. Religions too have neither proved it or disproved it, yet one night, in the spanish countryside, in an area called Las Hurdes, unfortunatelly famous for its retardation, while I layed on the floor drinking aguardiente with an old hurdano shepherd at my side and looking at the stars above, he explained to me, that although he was no expert and did not even know how to read or write, that one had just to gaze at the stars above to understand, that there had to be something bigger than man. I think he was probably right.

However in the moment that we try to define this, we are objectifying, and our definitons of such can only be the poor attempts of certain types of terrestrial beings to make sense of something we are not prepeared to understand and maybe we are not even meant to understand.

In conclussion: Yes I believe there is something much larger than humans, however I do not know what it is, even though at certain extreme moments where difficulties overcome me, it provides me with some comfort. But my comfort about the universe does not make it more true or comprehensible, I am just a man who wished that that superior being, beings or the sum sum corda, would help more to make us better and the world a better place to live without so much senseless destruction, too often done in the name of a superior being or beings.

I do not know if answered your question, an extremelly difficult one by the way, in such a short space and time. I would consider myself to proud if I thought such questions had such simple answers and in this form, and forum.

We seem to thrive upon words, which are mere representations of objects or concepts which, in cases as the present one, language is too poor and biased to address, much less provide satisfactory answers.

Answer 7

Its not so much that I believe there is intellegent life elsewhere in the universe. It is more that I hope there is as there is sod all on this planet.

Answer 8

Yes, absolutely, That supreme intelligence is the cause of the entire cosmos and creation and all activities.

Answer 9

Life is a bi-product of carbon chemistry. Life is ubiquitous in the Universe. I have no doubt of that.

Answer 10

I think more intelligent life is all around us, were just not smart enough to reconize it
