Not at all. There is no reason NOT to believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe. There is nothing in the Bible or in science that would preclude the possibility. I am skeptical of most UFO claims I've heard, but only because I haven't seen evidence. We all need to realize how limited our human knowledge is and not be so arrogant as to dismiss things just because we haven't yet seen them.

I think humans generally think that they - we - are smarter then they - we - actully are. By even thinking that we are the only intelligent life is even evidence of our ignorance and our apparent superiority 'complex'.
In this vast, amazingly massive universe, there is absolutly no way possible that we are the only intelligent life forms. the odds are really small. Ok so scientists are looking for worlds that have water and the right temperature and stuff, but what is over forms of life far away can be sustained an different things? I think it is just completly stupid and ignorant to assume that and is again a sign of how superior we think that we are.
even on this planet, there are animals that can do many many things we cant. Ok, so we can think abstractly, enjoy sex, communicate and make tools. Look at how other animals come in to thsi world compared to us. They being able to walk 10 seconds after popping out of an egg or out of the mummies, and all we can do is cry. There are animals that can see the very bottoms of oceans, climb highest mountains, get to the most difficult places on earth, fly, use ecolocation, have much more tuned senses, can remember things for generations and maybe even have 6th sences. all naturally. Most humans do not have these benefits - maybe some with the help of very advances machines. Animals do not generally make each other extinct, they work in harmony with the enviornment. Can we humans say we can do this?
So really, we just think that we are the more, most/ the only intelligent life

We cannot possibly know whether mankind is the only life in this universe. We also cannot say we know the odds of life existing/not existing elsewhere. The only life systems we have ever seen are those here on Earth. On Earth, there are many kinds of diverse life. But who is to say that Earthly rules apply all over the universe? It is possible that we are the only life in the universe. People that say "what are the odds that we're alone" use Earth logic to say that. They think "Oh because there is a lot of life on Earth, there must a lot of life in the universe". Just as Earth is set up to host millions of different kinds of life, the universe maybe set up to only hold one planet with life on it. Maybe when Earth was created, all the circumstances were just right and we got really lucky. We just can't know yet.

Hold on a second... thinking that intelligent life exists somewhere out there and thinking that intelligent life has visited here are two different things. Have intelligent beings visited this planet? Probably not. But do intelligent beings exist out there somewhere? Given the odds, there's really no reason to think they don't.

In the book of Genesis, it tells of the "sons of God" who came to earth and hooked up with some of earth's women and as a result the women gave birth to giants. Since the "sons of God" were physically able to have sexual relations with the women, that would lend to the idea that they were too had physical bodies and not merely spirits.
Were these men from another planet? Possible, but at this time there is no way to prove it.
But since the bible doesn't specifically say there is no other life on other planets, I will not rule out the possibility; just my crazy thought about it...

I don't think we've had any visitors, but it's definitely some day. Do you really think that we're the only intelligent life forms in the entire UNIVERSE? I mean, the earth's like a microscopic spec of dust in the infinite void of time and space... !!!

No I don't believe we're the only intelligent life possibly, I wonder if humans are actually the most intelligent life on earth. Remember there are different types of intelligence, animals can sense things that we never will be able to do.

Why would I think that? If we exist, there's quite the posibility that other life exists as well. To think otherwise is extremely arrogant.
What is.. astoral? Do you mean astal? As in ghosts?
Yes, I think ghosts exist. What does that have to do with religion?

It's completely arrogant to believe that humans are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. (And humans are pretty borderline in the intelligence department.)
That being said, no self-respecting alien would waste his time on this pathetic little planet.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, would you go visit an outhouse in Alabama?

If that is the case, we are in a lot worse trouble than I thought.
If there are creatures on other planets, at least they are intelligent enough not to come here or to let us know they are here.
