Do you believe Aliens exist?

[DoctorDisco]

So you make assumptions about life in the universe the same way you assume the Bible is the source of truth in your life...

I think that assuming that god doesn't exist is an assumption in itself. So I think everyone has the right to believe whatever they want, and to judge someone for it is bigoted.

 

[DoctorDisco]

hehehehehehehehehe..... Who's to say "God" isn't an "Alien"?

This is also a very valid theory.

 

[MoonOwl]

Just as valid as some invisible dude in the clouds who knows what everyone is thinking and doing.

Personally I like the one where we are the God & Goddess' kids' science experiment - gone wrong.

I'm just thankful we live in times where those who question The Church aren't jailed/burned as heretics. Especially when they seem to have a penchant for little boys and deception.:mad

hehehehehehehehe..... the Goddess is coming and She is Pissed!

Judgment is human nature, we judge/evaluate everything around us. However I don't judge (in the way you're implying) someone because they have faith, I judge when they present it as a fact.

I see where you are coming from with this, and it makes sense. Tell me if I am wrong, but you believe that the behavior of putting someone into a category and treating them that way based on their actions is inherent. And when people present what is fact in their minds, but not objective: you challenge or correct them.

I would just like to say that predetermined judgments/stereo-types/assumptions of intelligence are not inherent, they are empirically learned (through experience). Which means it is a culturally held value, and an anti-social thinking error at that. Which, tell me if I am wrong, you are assuming that when they present their beliefs as fact, that they are arrogant or underhanded in motive.

I think that someone presenting what is fact in their minds and not a fact to everyone is what constitutes as a belief. If we all really knew what after-life was, then you would have the right to challenge them and say they are wrong through evidence of fact. What is fact to them, may not be fact to you, but I think it is trivial and anti-social to tell them so. So I think you are being hypocritical in the way that you are reaching out to advertise your belief, and feed your ego.

What you are doing in my mind is like this: I believe in Christmas so I say "merry Christmas" to some guy on the street, whom I didn't know his belief. He stops, looks offended, and says "I don't celebrate Christmas, get it right"

On a subject with something as unsure as after-life, we all share one commonality, we have beliefs. Which are not objective, due to the unsure nature of our over all knowledge on the subject. So all these people are saying is: "this system of beliefs and fundamentals work for me, come celebrate its benefits with me, I wish to share its joy with you" And fairly so, it may not work for you, but this is where we just say, what works for one doesn't always work for another. So live and let live. In my opinion.


You are clearly a smart guy and the argument can be seen from both perspectives. I thought it would be fun to just share my 2.5 cents on the subject.

Can I get an A-men? lol

There is no such thing as aliens, in THIS solar system

Every so often gases that can only be excreted from living things ploom out of crevices on the surface of mars.

We don't have the technology to investigate further than distant visuals.

Fun lil tid bit

You mean a illegal immigrant :24::24: How do you know you where abducted Ann?

 

[Brian Tay]

Wahttt there are no such things as alians?!?!? just like santa ann!! just like Santa

 

[StanJon]

Once I was approached by a group of small spindly pale creatures.They approached be from a glowing disk. They all had large heads, dark almond shaped eyes and small slit-like mouths. The one in the forefront extended it's hand as if in a hand shake gesture.

Unfortunately I forgot to remove my hand buzzer. When I shook the alien's had he shrieked and exploded. The other aliens began screaming and ran back to their ship. I immediately took off and disappeared into the sky. I haven't seen them since, oh well. :24::24:

You'd make an outstanding diplomat. So that's why they have been abducting us.

Whenever aliens get close I just play "When I'm Calling You" by Slim Whitman. I'm taking no chances... just sayin. :ninja

I think that it would be pretty bizar if there is no life on other planets. Concerning the size of the universe, it would be highly improbable that there are no planets which roughly share the same conditions as earth. And in that case you would expect that there is a big chance that the same chemical reactions creating aminoacids (i am now litterally translating from dutch we call them amino-acids) have occured or are occuring on that planet. Those amino-acids would then form RNA which would devide itself and reproduce itself and so evolution is set in motion on that planet. I think that that has the highest probability. It is only the arrogance of men that thinks that life should be like us. And therefore we do not find it with our concentration on radiowaves and other things that involve human technology.

 

[lumpenstein]

If there is no evidence of life form on the planets in our galaxy, then why would there be life in the other millions of galaxies? I don't believe that there is other people (aliens) living out there.

Are you serious when you say that? Have you considered what is needed of a planet to support life, then consider the possibilites of such planetary conditions existing elsewhere in the universe? You obviously know nothing of the laws of statistics. It is ignorant to assume there is no other planet that can support life.

 

[daniellllleee]

Aliens are most definitely real. Idk what galaxy they're on, but they're not going to be slimy green creatures. More human-like.

 

[dasb00T]

yeah, i'm with dani. aliens are certainly out there. i think it's a bit naive and self centered to believe we're the only live species in galaxies that span billions of light years.

either naivety or denial of the truth.

 

[christnabarrett]

I think now that if they do exist points to the fact that existence is based more on science than religion, heretofore I should believe that they do not? :cool

 

[Darph Bobo]

I am coming from a belief in God and the bible.

I can't imagine that with all the galaxies, all the planets. all the stars out there that there are no other life forms out there.

It doesn't mention them in the bible, but that does not negate the possibility in my mind.

i see where you're coming from lumpy,but.......life even on this planet has the habit of springing up in the most unlikey of places

Aliens are most definitely real. Idk what galaxy they're on, but they're not going to be slimy green creatures. More human-like.

its pot luck what any alien might look like....put it this way,if the dinosaurs weren't made exticnct the dominant species on this planet might well have been reptillian

I think now that if they do exist points to the fact that existence is based more on science than religion, heretofore I should believe that they do not? :cool

the 10 commandment were etched into stone by a ray of light.....whos to say that religion isn't based around alien visitation?
