Do you think there is life anywhere other than our planet.?

Question

I don't just mean life like "aliens" that are coming to get us, but any life. Even microscopic organisms.

Answer 1

I don't know, but just because we have other planets or galaxies doesn't guarantee there is life, I love how people just assume that there HAS to be cause there are other worlds, doesn't mean anything

Answer 2

I am next to sure of it. Let's look at the universe. The Hubble Ultra Deep Fields image contains galaxies 31 billion light years away. We cannot comprehend this distance within our minds. Light takes only two seconds to go to the moon and back, image what a month would be, let alone a billion years! Out of everything in between, there has to be life. And I also believe that there is intelligent life- possibly millions of years more advanced than us. The Universe is about 13.7 billion years old if I recall correctly, and we have only been here for for less than a million. Real civilization only started maybe 50,000 years ago. Imagine how much time other creatures had to become more intelligent than us!

There is also the fact of ignorance to how other animals might live. We need water and oxygen, but we evolved here. Why should another animal need these things if they discovered a better way to live on their planet? We also do not know what intelligence is per say. I think we can venture to say that we are conscious and aware of our existence, but is there more to intelligence? Can something be smart but run on instinct? We do not really know yet. We may never know.

Remember, every planet is different, and just because we can't survive on it does not mean a different creature can't. My honest opinion is that yes, there is life out there, and there are probably civilizations better or equal to our own.

Answer 3

Look at it this way --

So far we've found over 230 planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way galaxy where we are. All of those planets are relatively nearby, most closer than 1,000 light years. Our galaxy is about 98,000 light years across and 10,000 light years thick. Since we've found over 230 planets close by, in the rest of the Milky Way there must be thousands of others. It only makes sense that at least a few of all those worlds have life of some kind.

Then there are maybe as many as 200-billion other galaxies similar to ours in the entire universe. The odds of there being life elsewhere are very, very good.

Answer 4

i believe in both intelligent and microscopic. the universe is trillions of light-years vast with over billions of galaxies, stars or suns, and planets. it would be complete selfishness to think that we are the ONLY life form here. the reason why i also believe in intelligent life forms are because the odds of a life form being like us if not smarter are extremely high in all the billions of planets. also, we found water on one of jupiter's and saturn's moons. we also found some earth like planets in or near our solar system.

Answer 5

I believe we are all "alien lifeforms".
As earth evolved over billions of years, comets and meteors continuously pummeled the planet depositing all types of different organisms from space. I believe most of these microbes and bio-organisms laid dormant within the earth and waters until conditions were right for that species to evolve and thrive and place us at the point in time we are today!

As my blog states "In the time of dinosaurs be a cockroach"

I said all that to say.. yes!

Answer 6

Indeed, I do believe that there is life out there. I don't believe in intelligent life, but I do believe that there are microscopic organisms living on other worlds.

Answer 7

If you look up at all the stars and realize that they are all suns, and that all those suns could have planets with possible life, and you then traveled to the farthest star and with your back to the earth looked out... you would see billions of more stars. If you repeated the process you would continue to see more stars with more planets with possible life. With odds like that... there HAS to be more life.

Answer 8

Look at the scale of the Universe. There are more galaxies in just this galaxy cluster than there are stars in the sky we see at night. Then there are just as many galaxy clusters again. Then just as many superclusters.

To assume that we are the only life anywhere in such an inconceivably enormous place is arrogant, and stupid. I wonder sometimes if people think that this solar system is all there is.

Answer 9

Yes. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the combined shores of earth. I think theres gotta be some kind of life form out there.

Answer 10

Yes and an outer space cultures specialist may be able to provide more info on their developments.What do you wish to know about them? If they have our dictionaries and everything in them too?
