Do you believe in aliens?

I absolutely do. I think anyone who thinks that humans are the only life in the whole universe are extremely selfish. just to think that theres only one species in a massive stretch of infinity is just... stupid in my opinion.

heres my reasoning...

ok lets go back to the 1500s. there was the europeans in europe and the indians in america. now, 1492 comes along columbus (any given species) sails the ocean blue (space) on a sailboat (spaceship) and discovers a new land (planet) and finds on this new land a new race of people (alien race).

you can even broaden this out and say that instead of traveling from one planet to the next, they travel from one solar system to the next, or hell from one galaxy to another.

weve proven this on our own planet that it is possible, and im sure the europeans were thinking they were the only continent on earth with people on it. but they traveled across a large body and found another land with a new race on it.

and i told this to my uncle and his argument was why havent we heard from anyone yet, and if theres been all these ufo sightings why hasnt anyone had real proof of them. well in my opinion i dont think theres intelligent life in our solarsystem but i could be wrong. i would even say that we wont be contacted or wont discover ourselves another species for a very long time. until weve perfected space travel or another species of travelers comes across little ol earth.

it makes sense to me and i think its a good analogy to use for the subject. everything is relative, its just how big the traveled distance is and what the species look like thats different.

ill be the first to say that im not stoned and i thought of this :greenthumb:

Yeah but I dont think there flying around in space ships and shit like it the movies. I dont think they even kind of look like us. I assume other life is probably like microbes and stuff. But your right, its selfish to assume were all alone in the whole galaxy. Thats insane.

would you say that were the smartest race out there?

i wouldnt, out of millions and millions of lightyears of space starts and planets there has to be a race of beings with access to different types of technology than us. the minerals and metals and liquids of their planets would be different than ours and could have properties that make them more useful for certain jobs and all that... lol

i would say were somewhere in the middle if anything, theres definately more primitive and definately more advanced in my opinion.

but who knows, maybe we are alone in the universe.. but i doubt it :)

I do believe there is a strong likelihood that life has existed somewhere else in the universe, somewhere else amongst the billion billion billion billion galaxies and billion billion billion billion billion billion stars, either presently or in the past. It's the Anthropic Principle. However, have any of them visited us? No.

I dunno if were the smartest b/c I dont know if there is anything or anyone out there to compare but who knows. I wouldn't say yeah b/c then id feel like some sort of self rightious asshole. Hell I say if there actually are the "greys" and such then were probably less intelligent than them. But I doubt they exist. It seems too predictable.

too predictable, thats partly the reason i believe. why wouldnt there be something else out there amongst the vast collection of stars space and planets that is the universe.

Exactly ^

Yes indeed!!! I will not go further than that.

Lets just say that "humans" are much older than previously realized.

i always thought women were aliens, anything that bleeds for 5 days and dont die can't be human. lol

Yeah im pretty sure if one of you guys started bleeding from the who ha you'd probably pass out
