Mars....There was life.

[lagstronaut]

I believe it's bull shit, and I dont believe in UFO's. Also I really believe those are all those damn satellites and space craft pieces that keep fallin to the ground in the U.S. that look strange and burnt. I only had one experience outside at about 1 a.m. with something flying that looked like a UFO but I highly doubt it. I mean, no way I believe any damn thing the government says that sounds fishy but c'mon, if aliens really existed I believe that I would have seen a UFO by now. If they can fly down and see us I'm pretty sure there would be enough of them for us to look up and see them (flying).

So you think there is no other life outside of earth pretty much because you've never seen it with your own two eyes?


There is absolutely no way that this one rock is the only planet to have micro-organisms evolve into living organisms and adapt to their planet. We only need Oxygen to breathe and Water to stay hydrated because over billions of years that is how we've evolved to adapt to our planet. I'm sure millions of lightyears away there's another planet whose creatures living on it don't need oxygen or water or maybe have never even seen or discovered elements and compunds like that on their planet, because their planet has other elements and compounds naturally growing on it which the people living on that planet have come to depend on after billions of years of evolution themselves.

I find it hard to believe that our planet has millions of plants and animals growing thanks to O2 and H2O, and there is no other planet in the universe that has their own "O2" and "H2O" type of abundances which have allowed for life to adapt and evolve over billions of years just like we have


Ex. if our planet never had oxygen but instead had sulfur in the air and in the atmosphere this entire time, I'm sure that billions of years ago the evolutionary process would have started to adapt so we could "breathe" with the sulfur in the air.

it's like opposable thumbs, we evolved to adapt to our needs. i'm sure there are other floating rocks in space that could undergo the same process and most likely have

you are simpliying this way way too much, humans need much more than just water and oxygen to survive

chances are life exists somewhere else in the universe, but when you factor in time it starts to get ridiculous. i think the chances of us ever finding life, intelligent life for that matter, are very remote.

[orangeman]

lagstronaut I am very open and believe it or not I was thinkin the EXACT same thing you typed a while ago. I still dont have 100% doubt that there is other life form out there but as of now it just seems more fake than real.

anybody ever look into the drake equation at all?

water and oxygen is all our bodies need to survive, of course food too but food can count as anything we can eat and digest properly, where as Water and Oxygen is more special

how can you say water and oxygen is all we need to survive? what about climate? there's such extremes in the universe it's ridiculous, what about radiation? we wouldn't last 30 seconds in these harsh environments

...i could go on and on, would you like me to? heh

i don't buy that intelligent life forms can breathe sulfuric acid on other planets man, and deal with conditions in excess of 400 degrees C. it just doesn't make sense, i think we need to find planets with a balance like earth in order to find intelligent life, and that's near impossible. i'm pretty sure microrangisms can survive maybe in some very harsh conditions, hell look what we got going miles and miles deep in the ocean where it is freezing, lava flows down there and heats the water, life goes on, it's quite amazing. i'm sure this same thing is going on in many places in the universe.

i think the number of intelligent alien civilizations that have ever been is very low, factor time into it, and that makes the likelyhood that they are nearby and existing right now very low, i think. the universe is very very old, and we have existed for such a short time on that scale. we are a tiny little blip, ya know?

There IS life on mars. FACT. I had a plumber round to fix my leaking sink and while he was handing me the bill he sang the first two lines of the martian anthem. "We are martians and we are going to kick earths arse..." etc. I now have tin foil on my pipes to combat alien radiation planted there by the "plumber". Be vigilant people.

[delta9thc06]

Well if there are beings on other planets then radiation woulding be a problem because we all adapt to our surroundings. Who said that the beings on another planet are like us in every single way.

[jamstigator]

I think the universe is probably teeming with life. I think it highly probable that there have been (and perhaps still are) lots of other intelligent lifeforms out there too, although I doubt any are spying on us or kidnapping our cows or ramming probes up our asses.

The question, if that is true, and there are other intelligent races: why haven't we heard radio signals or something from any of them? And there are lots of possible answers to that: 1) we haven't been listening very long; 2) we may not be listening to the right 'channels'; 3) there are none close enough for us to hear; 4) when a civilization reaches a high enough state of technology they self-destruct and their signals end. We'll probably self-destruct ourselves, and then our signals will end as well.
