Do you belive in aliens?

Question

Poeple claim to have seen them
but do you belive in that type of stuff

Answer 1

Given the size of the universe, I'd be surprised if intelligent life did not evolve on at least one other planet. I don't necessarily believe that any of them were simultaneously capable of visiting us while also being interested in capturing a few of us for anal probing.

Answer 2

"The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact with such civilizations.

According to some observers, the extreme age of the universe and its vast number of stars suggest that extraterrestrial life should be common. Discussing this proposition with colleagues over lunch in 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi is said to have asked: "Where are they?" Fermi questioned why, if a multitude of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the Milky Way galaxy, evidence such as probes, spacecraft, or radio transmissions has not been found. The simple question "Where are they?" (alternatively, "Where is everybody?") is possibly apocryphal, but Fermi is widely credited with simplifying the problem of the probability of extraterrestrial life. Wider examination of the implications of the topic began with Michael Hart in 1975, and it is sometimes referred to as the Fermi-Hart paradox.

There have been attempts to resolve the Fermi Paradox by locating evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations, along with proposals that such life could exist without human knowledge. Counterarguments suggest that intelligent extraterrestrial life does not exist or occurs so rarely that humans will never make contact with it.

A great deal of effort has gone into developing scientific theories and possible models of extraterrestrial life and the Fermi paradox has become a theoretical reference point in much of this work. The problem has spawned numerous scholarly works addressing it directly, while various questions that relate to it have been addressed in fields as diverse as astronomy, biology, ecology and philosophy. The emerging field of astrobiology has brought an interdisciplinary approach to the Fermi paradox and the question of extraterrestrial life."--wikipedia

To the objective (or open minded ) person there are several possibliities:

1. Earth is unique-- Earth is the only planet capable of supporting life as we know it.
2. Earth is not unique in that there is life elsewhere but there are no other advanced civilizations in the universe.
3. Earthlike planets are extremely rare therefore any advanced civilizations are to far away for us to contact.
3. Earthlike planets are not rare, there are many civilizations out there but they are so far ahead of us technologically that they do not wish to be contacted.
4. Earthlike planets are not rare, there are many civilizations out there but their form of life may be so different than ours that communication may be impossible.
5. The Zoo hypothesis--we are being deliberately isolated by some advanced race wishing to protect us or cultivate us technologically.
6. We have been contacted but our governments feel that the general public is not "ready" for such a discovery and the aliens have respected that viewpoint.
7. They are already amoung us but we cannot see them (deliberate hiding or so differnet that our eyes can't see them)and our government doesn't know.

you can probably add to this list.

Answer 3

Maybe, but life is short and sweet. Our focus is on what most harms us so that we might alleviate suffering and promote the general good. We go to school to learn how to solve problems. The higher the education we complete the more difficult problems we are able to solve, or at least work toward solving.

Aliens would fit into that perspective, although the likelihood of having a fruitful transactional relationship is pretty slim if they are unavailable.

Answer 4

I'd like to believe it. I think life would be much more interesting if there were undeniable evidence proving their existence, though much of it is probably fake, if not all of it.

However, the odds of there being aliens, even on the most simplistic level, is still high considering the sheer vastness of the universe and the relative lack of knowledge we have about it.

I don't necessarily doubt or advocate their existence.

Answer 5

I don't believe aliens are anal-probing people, implanting them with butt babies, or killing cows, but I do believe that there are aliens out there. There's just too much space for us to be the only ones around. And we may have come across life, but not recognized it for the simple fact that it is so "alien." "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it" sort of thing. Maybe the others on other worlds are still at the single-celled organism stage, or maybe they're extinct, or maybe they're right at our level looking up at their skies and making up scary stories about us probing them. But I do believe it is entirely possible.

Answer 6

Yes, I think there is life beyond our planet. I don't believe they frequently visit our planet, but maybe once in awhile for a recap. To think that we are the only things in the universe that have a thought process would be like saying all religions are the exactly same.

Answer 7

Yes, here is my argument for it.

The uneverse is FULL of stars like our sun. And many stars have planets. It is illogical and arrogent to beleive that we are alone. Life is full of supprises, but stars are very far away from eachother. I say that many races are on other planets wondering the same thing, IS THERE OTHER LIFE IN OTHER STAR SYSTEMS?

It seems I'm not the only alien on Y/A.

Answer 8

No. but my husband claim that he saw one when he was a child. He says that they are here visiting and are upset how we treat the earth. But to be honest their is no such thing as aliens someone would already caught one. If I would have caught one I would go to the media and make money out of it. Besides it's the gov't that wants to trick us into believing it.

Answer 9

yes and when i lived in Mexico there are sometimes you could see spaceships because in some places over there they don't have street lights so on a clear night you can see every star and moving object in the sky i have seen one the that was round and it moved so fast i tough it was a comet but when i saw that is stoped and then moved in the direction it cam from i knew it was a UFO and i also saw one that liked like 5 blinking lights and but it moved like in a snake like way just moving though the sky as eerie as it feels when you see it it's always cool and just so you all know i was born and raised in Chicago IL

Answer 10

Yes
