Look up to the sky on a clear night and look at all the countless numbers of stars that you can see.
Now, let's say, for argument's sake, half of thos stars that we can see had planets revolving around them.
Okay, so now say that *those* half of the stars had planets that had livable conditions. (Right temeperature, water, air to breath, plants...)
Well, now let's say half of that half had microorganisms. (Bacteria etc.)
Now let's say that those half had some sort of multi-celled organisms living on them. (Animals.)
Now, we say half of that half had intelligent or semi-intelligent organisms living on them.
Do you follow?
Well, if not, I assume you get the picture. Anyway, now that we've halved and halved and halved and halved, do you know how many stars and star systems we still have left?
...
A LOT!
And that, my friends, is why I believe in aliens.
(Oh, and if you were wondering, I read something like this in a magazine, and it does have a very good point!)

My thoughts exactly

This is the argument behind Drake´s Equation, which is a equation that gives us the probability of making contact to another civilization of intelligent living beings. And I think its the only way we can analyze this subject. So thats just a matter of probability, there could be just one civilization, us for example, or maybe two, three, four billions, I don´t know really, but the probability of having one civilization exactly is very small, since its just one possibility amongst many others.
Yeah. Ignorance is the issue, but anyways, the proof is right there and we all know it. The volume and space of the entire universe holds countless numbers of galaxies and so on, which would be a happy home to millions of other Aliens.
I wonder if Aliens right now are on their own Alien KMC forums on their own Aliens Computers which hook up to their own Alien Internet providers asking about their own Aliens out there questions.
Re: What if Aliens exist?
Originally posted by whirlysplatI'm sure they do. The http://www.bibleufo.com/ It might seem like science fiction but people have reported seeing them and some have been abducted by aliens. I really don't think they're just making it up.
what would it mean, to any religion that has at it's core that *a* god(s) created Earth / Life on Earth (with no reference to other planets) and the whole "we are special" thing, if life on other planets is found?doesn't it make "Genesis", for one, ... um... wrong?
I have a feeling religion would survive. It has survives the revelations the Earth is not flat, that it is older then 7000 years, that there is a whole universe out there, that dinosaurs existed long before man did and so forth...
And there is evolution, maybe aliens evolved by themselves without a God, or maybe people will believe they represent Angels,and there are those who believe the bible makes referance to Aliens, just like there are those who believe some Mayan images portray spacemen etc. Regardless religion seems to have the ability to survive anything, so who knows. Still, it would be interesting to see. Even more interesting the the Aliens also have religion.
When the religious contradictions starts to show as science and knowledge advance, the religions seems to change themselves to adapt to the new concepts, so I think religion will survive. I think that some religions should just be seem as ways of living our lifes, and they shouldn´t try to explain the universe. Explaining the universe requires us to think, not having faith, specially blind faith. There are many religious concepts that were proved to be wrong. Maybe I should create a thread about this
