In my humble opinion there is life in the universe. It is only that as human specie is so selfish that we cannot see nor we can understand the point of how large is universe. That's why we mostly consider ourselves as special and only one. However I wouldn't agree with such opinion and to some extent we already agree to existence of extraterrestrials when you believe in god. Which might have seeded us into this planet. If you look into Kur'ran (hopefully I spelled that alright) there are some things written which in fact explain existence of other lifeforms next to distant stars.

And I would like to add quotation from discovery channel not exact. They explained that there are so many planets just in our galaxy and every 1000 planet is capable of supporting life similar to our own. That makes 10 of thousands planets capable of supporting life with similar conditions to our own planet and what if we consider that life might just form in some other form not even similar to our own or maybe not eve perceivable by us. I think that it is feasible thing to say that life is almost statistical certainty.

Of course there is. if we live in a world where there are millions of other glaxies beside the milky way, then of course there has to be life in the other millions of galxies. Now, I am not saying they are aliens or anything else. But, they maybe humans just like us, but in another world with betetr technology and much more knowledge attained. Or I could be completely wrong with this theory, but it just seems like that there is not way that we are the only lifeforms in the world, there must be more out there!

This one sentence says it all in my oppinion. I only wish I knew the name of the scientist that said it.

I for one do believe there is life out there besides us; however, not so much other organisms, if you catch my drift.


[1]This reminds me of something.
[2]I wouldn't say they are ignorant or have a small mind. Some people require proof. By that i mean if other life doesn't come into contact with us, to them, everything is just words placed together to make it seem logical and like as if there is life out there or there would be a high possibility of life out there. Until any contact with them and this other 'life' is made, there is no proof and just mere words for them—which in reality that's what it all seems to be. The farthest they'll come to believe would probably be just bacteria, but that's not what they had in mind, as far as i'm concerned.

Hmm it depends here highly what and how we define organisms and what do we expect to find out. If we are taking for example any organisms they will probably be found some of the theoretical scientists have stated that even the life on the planet earth might have been started by microorganisms from the other planet. Actually from the other cosmic body like asteroid or so.

So it doesn't matter if it is similar to our form or way of life or if we even process information I think that we are all discussing that here whether there is consciousness in the universe that is conscious life form. With which we would be able to communicate and reason learn and so on. That is and should be point of this discussion. Because there are many predictions that there is micro life on the Europe that is satellite.

not only do i think that there could be life in other solar systems, i bet that almost every single one has some type of life filled planet. maybe even more than one. i could just be bacterial life or even intelegent life.

anyway it is it would be selfish and stupid of us to think that out of all the galaxies and solar systems we are the only planet that has life. it would also be selfish of us to think that the life on those planets are like us. like you know with limbs and whatever... our physical form.

i don't know... it is hard to assume.

there are known knowns and known unknowns and there are unknown unknowns. those unknown unknowns suggest that we know nothing about life outside ourselves so it is even hard to me to state my opinion on this topics.

I find it completely impossible, that we are the only life in our large universe. Life doesn't have to be advanced, ,microorganisms might inhabit a planet, which would till be considered a form of life.

Mars once had water, maybe there is still a small form of life in its frozen ice caps? I also heard that another planet similar to Earth was discovered, so maybe it might have life that is either advanced or primitive

there must be life outside our planet and to think otherwise is really stupid just look at the life on earth it has developed in so hostile environments that someone would say it is impossible if you told him so.within last few months scientists have discovered planet that has temperature which is similar to the temperature on earth so liquid water can exist there and we all know that water is basis of life on earth so why not there.that planet is not far from earth in universe proportions.but even without water life could exist based on some other elements in very different environments and probably very different shapes which we can't even think of.just think of this every time you are in doubt every star you see in the night sky is potential sun and for each star you see there billions and billions and billions... of others

Universe is not more complex than u imagine,
It is more complex than u can not imagine.
How can scientists assume that the other form of life outside earth ll also need same basic things for existence as in earth?
Is it impossible that some form of life ll not even need oxygen ,water ? There may be some form of life which is totally different from that of earth?

I have recently been looking into some topics on another unknow planet within our system known as planet 'X' this planet suppsosedly is the only true fact of how our Earth could've been created. Every 50,000 years this planet passes extremely closely to Earth and the last time it smashed the planet in half with a full blown impact, one half formed Earth while the other is unknown as of today. If half of this planet has fromed us then surely the other half would be able to inhabit life depending on it's position within the universe. For thos wondering this planet is supposed to next pass Earth in 2012 and is thus recorded as being the Apocalypse by Mayans and thus why their calendar ends on the 21st decmber 2012. Nostradarmos (sp) also has recordings of such an Apocalyptic event and he also has a date set at 2012.
