No. It is completely asanine and egotistical to believe that as big as the universe is that we are the only forms of intelligent life anywhere...

Didn't anyone watch the X-Files? We are not alone on our own Planet.

Are we alone in this Universe?

 

If you vote No I would love to hear your explanation.

 

Put me in the Definite Yes Camp.

 

How about it, are we alone?

 

I think we are alone.

 

I would like to know why you think that?

 

I am not directing anything at you, or anyone for that matter, but that is an extremely arrogant position to take.

 

You said you were in the Yes camp to Are We Alone?

What in the world is arrogant about it? I know you're not going to like my answer but if there were life on other planets I firmly believe God would have let us know.

Even if we are alone, and I'm in the camp that there has to be something else out there, is it arrogant for us to believe aliens would want to waste their time and resources abducting us? Maybe they came and realized how (their thinking) backward and dumb we are, "they use paper to clean their butts" etc. maybe they're on an island like paradise of a planet saying "no thanks, I'll just chill here".

 

As for traversing the universe, even if we can go light speed, I don't believe our bodies will be able to handle it. And if we just went normal speed, we'd have to sacrifice numerous generations of people just to reach the outer edge of our galaxy.

 

Space is expanding at an insane amount of speed every second, so every second every galaxy is speeding away from each other that much more, making space travel that much more difficult

Yes. We are alone.

The Fermi paradox or Fermi's paradox, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates, e.g. those given by the Drake equation, for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.[1] The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) and Michael H. Hart (born 1932), are:

 

• There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are similar to the Sun,[2][3] many of which are billions of years older than Earth.[4][5]
  
• With high probability, some of these stars will have Earth-like planets,[6][7] and if the Earth is typical, some might develop intelligent life.
  
• Some of these civilizations might develop interstellar travel, a step the Earth is investigating now.
  
• Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in about a million years.[8]
  

According to this line of thinking, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial aliens. In an informal conversation, Fermi noted no convincing evidence of this, leading him to ask, "Where is everybody?"[9][10] There have been many attempts to explain the Fermi paradox,[11][12]primarily suggesting either that intelligent extraterrestrial life is extremely rare, or proposing reasons that such civilizations have not contacted or visited Earth.

There's a great corollary to that that Brian Greene and others talk about. The general premise that any civilization with sufficient technology to traverse the incredible vastness of space likely also has the technology to destroy itself. They posit that one depressing possibility is that a civilization that develops the technology to destroy itself (whether nuclear weapons or chemical or biological) will invariably do so, given enough time, and that's why we've never seen evidence of other civilizations visiting our solar system.

 

It's a real bummer and an interesting theory but I'm unconvinced my most sociological theories involving things that are "inevitable".

 

I would be not at all surprised to discover other civilizations out there. The numbers are too large for that possibility to be discounted.

You said you were in the Yes camp to Are We Alone?

 

I corrected it.

 

I am in the NO, we are definitely not alone camp.

Sorry was doing something else, but you found it so all is good. :thumb:

 

To add to it, the majority of the evidence is covered up and hidden by the powers that be around the world.

Zombies all over the place.

 

The whole Zombie thing is on tangent at best.

No. It is completely asanine and egotistical to believe that as big as the universe is that we are the only forms of intelligent life anywhere...

 

I agree.

Didn't anyone watch the X-Files? We are not alone on our own Planet.

 

We probably are not alone on our own planet.

If there is life on other planets, do they play football?

What in the world is arrogant about it? I know you're not going to like my answer but if there were life on other planets I firmly believe God would have let us know.

 

Thanks for answering.

 

So you think God created the whole Universe then sat around for nearly 14 Billion Years and then decided on this one little planet in the Milky Way, and only this one little planet after 14 Billion Years of pondering, God created life on Earth, just Earth?

 

I would say if we were talking about any other subject matter than Religion you would be certifiable.

You are probably not going to agree on his response to this either, :lol:
