Is there evidence to suggest that aliens exist?

Question

And if aliens do indeed exist,how come they always abduct people from houses?Never from an apartment.

Answer 1

There is a great deal of evidence that aliens exist. Thousands of individual accounts of people having contact with aliens, crop circles, and numerous cultures reporting of alien contact in their histories are some good examples.

This isn't exactly proof, however it certainly is evidence which can be believed or refuted.

On a side note, I find it interesting how much skeptics answering this question are so sure that all of the evidence must be contrived.

Answer 2

There is no empirical evidence that aliens exist. There's a lot of interesting anecdotal evidence, not to mention rumours. As yet though there's nothing reported that doesn't have a perfectly prosaic explanation. Some of the prosaic explanations can be pretty odd or unlikely, but it's not like aliens are a likely explanation either.

The Drake equation that claims to estimate how many other intelligent aliens are out there is now believed to be based on some very optimistic assumptions.

In fact the more we know about other solar systems, it's becoming more likely that systems like ours may be the exception, not the rule. And of the millions of species that have evolved on Earth, only one has ever evolved machine intelligence. And we've only been here a little while in the greater scheme of things, it may turn out that being intelligent like humans is not particularly helpful in the long run.

We may indeed be alone, and there's no good reason to suspect otherwise. People will no doubt keep looking though, and if a UFO lands on the White House lawn tomorrow, I'll be glad to have been proved wrong.

PS: Of course if Aliens land on the White House lawn...perhaps they aren't that intelligent after all. ;)

Answer 3

I remember hearing that scientists actually found bacteria or bacteria fossils or something like that on Mars. I don't know any of the details or anything and it may be nothing more than a rumor but it's what I heard. Personally I believe that the sheer vastness of the universe is proof enough for the existence of life elsewhere. Whether or not it has come here though there are certainly many accounts yet nothing very conclusive. Personally I remain open to the possibility.

Answer 4

First, I would ask what you consider evidence. I am told there are billions of stars in the galaxy, and millions of galaxies. It is highly unlikely to think this here may be the only place with life, with intelligence. Such is enough for me to think there is intelligence out there.

I would not place much stock in abduction tales. Most likely, the aliens may see us as we see primitive peoples among us. Nobody really goes to them to visit, as they have nothing worth taking. When we do visit, it is to study them, plus the occasional tourist.

The aliens, like ourselves, cannot be perfect. I am sure they have had the equivalent of motor breakdowns and car accidents. Still, given recent history, human governments would have hidden any UFO wreck or evidence. This is not to protect an humanity that was too immature to accept the lien's existence. They would to make other superpowers believe they may have weapons of unknown caliber, a diplomatic advantage.

Answer 5

There is, up to now, no conculsive scientific evidence that extra-terrestrial life exist on earth. We have never found any alien bodies on earth or in outerspace.

Personally, I find it odd that we haven't found any such evidence. The size and the age (about 14 billion years) of the universe suggest that technically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations ought to exist. After all, it took us only about 500 years since the birth of modern science to develop computers, space-rockets, Hubble-space telescope, etc.

How, this belief seems inconsistent with the fact the lack of observational evidence.

I suggest that you look up the topic of Fermi paradox to understand this extremely interesting topic.

Answer 6

No, no evidence, silly conspiracy theories (e.g., Area 51) notwithstanding. And believe it or not, there are some close-minded fools who are still religiously devoted to the idea that crop-circles, one of the easiest debunked UFO hoaxes ever, are created by aliens to help navigate the Earthl! If aliens navigated hundreds of light-years to get here, you'd think they know how to navigate around a planet!

That's not to say that the idea of aliens existing somewhere in this universe is outlandish. Quite the contrary, actually. If humans popped up on this planet, it's not far-fetched to think that other forms of life have popped up on other planets in other solar systems. And if there are aliens somewhere in the universe, perhaps they found a way to evade relativistic speed limits and visit us. Perhaps. But so far there is no evidence that this has actually happened.

Answer 7

lack of expertise is shown above in those posts. definite, because of the fact we are able to make the comparable argument with nature. Nature is thoroughly appropriate, and all of that befell by utilising twist of destiny? it truly is extremely inconceivable and illogical. additionally, we don't recognize each and everything with reference to the supposedly 3 dimensional area we live in, so that's thoroughly idiotic to declare that those issues are ''supernatural'' in any respect. that's like no longer ending an test, and then asserting there are not the different conceivable consequences. we've not even explored our very own planet completely, and yet those issues are ''impossible''. Cavemen could've thought their pal replaced into loopy, if he reported there could be flying machines interior the sky. Use some undemanding experience and stop being ignorant human beings, this is not a stable look.

Answer 8

I think just looking at the bunch of 'rational' answers you have so far from skeptics that you are looking at a superb example of the issue latin american natives had when they first 'saw' cortez's ships - they could not recognise them ... therefore would not rationally compute ...
you would have to have been on another planet to miss the mexican military footage recently released and to avoid seeing the recently filmed flotillas of ufos in south and meso america can only mean that so called skeptics have issues with using the available media e.g. tv, computers, IT, news etc

you should copy and keep those 'skeptical answers' for there are no grounds whatsoever for any truly rational person on this planet to dismiss ufos ... in Logical Realism all that is required to refute this kind of opinion is ONE and only ONE not millions of, but ONE provable image of a UFO.

so it is neither scientific or rational to be NOT DEALING with the EMPIRICAL FACTS as PROVEN by military and many other sources.

Answer 9

i think they abduct people from apartments too.

i dont know about the evidence. i think if there are aliens in our midst, they are far more advanced than us and they are quite capable of preventing us from getting evidence

Answer 10

No evidence yet.
Life most likely exists somewhere else in the universe, but doubtful it's of the little-green-men type.
