War of the worlds is not scientifically accurate just bs entertainment. The most likely view on aliens is if they are far more advanced than us they would most likely be evolved past the primitive urge to conquer others.

not entirely accurate. If memory serves, the old theory went like this:
If an alien race comparible to our own were to ever make contact, most likely they would mean us no harm. To have reached the technological level to transverse the universe, the race would almost certainly be very old......to have become so advanced. For a race to have survived that long it would need to have done away with war long ago for two reasons. One, to prevent itself from bringing about it's own end via powerful weaponry. Two, to have the time and resources to devote to this technology instead of devoting them into creating weaponry and battling.
The catch is, "comparible to our own". What causes all the war/strife on our planet? Differences. Different races......different religions.....different ideas/beliefs. What if an alien planet existed where the only intelligent lifeforms did not have such distinctions and differences? What if they were say, like a colony of bees? There would be no reason for them to battle among each other........and there would be no other intelligent life for them to battle. This would free up their time and resources into advancing their technology and civilization. This does not mean they would be any friendlier to any other race they came across in their travels through the universe. It would probably mean the opposite. Without having such differences within their society that we have, no sensitivity to others who are different would have ever been stressed. They would have never learned to love others despite their differences........they would never have learned tolerance as they would never have had anything different from themselves to tolerate.

aliens DO exist. i know it. and im a religious guy, and i say they do exist. im very passionate about the fact that aliens exist, ive actually thought about going into a career into paranormal investigation, but i get freaked out about nething with ghosts, but aliens dont freak me out.
i believe aliens exist... but i dont believe that we will ever see them.. how can we be the only planet that has a sun where you can live on... i think there many more planets where aliens live... space never ends
I agree with you........but rather confusing the way you wrote that. All planets have suns.......a star they orbit around. The parameters of space are not known. The general theory is ofcourse that space is endless as it's constantly expanding outward from the big bang........this however is just a theory, just like the big bang itself, not fact.
Do aliens exist? yes. Do intelligent aliens exist? yes. The question is where they exist. It will be a long, long time before our race is advanced enough to transverse the stars to find them. We are nowhere near having the technology to bend space to travel these great distances in a lifetime....
I think there are many civilizations out there who are many times more technologically advanced than we are. I do believe aliens have swung by our planet from time to time to check it out.............much like some of our scientists swing by a swamp every now and again to check out the ecosystem and it's inhabitants. I do however think all of these UFO nuts and people who claimed to be abducted are full of shit.
I don't think a definitive answer will ever come until we reach the point that our race is capable of travelling to other solar systems, then galaxies. I believe that will provide sufficient reason for any other alien races to stop by more often........making sure we stay close to home and don't go around ****ing up the rest of the universe.
i dont see how its possible that in the whole universe there isnt another planet like ours, i
well.......if one thing's clear in our universe, there really isn't any uniformity. You can study the tree bark on millions of trees and never find the same pattern.............you can study the shapes of snow flakes and never find the same pattern. It is quite possible that Earth is unique unto itself........just as Saturn is.......just as Mercury is.......just as every planet in existence could possibly be.
The thing is.......we don't need to find another planet like ours nor does one need to exist to harbor life. There is much difference between the tropical rain forests of South America and the Gobi desert.........but life exists in both. They are merely different types of life, suited to different environments.
One of the main elements needed to sustain life on earth is water. The other used to be sunlight.........until we sent cameras down thousands of feet in the ocean to find life thriving without ever seeing sunlight......gathering heat from thermal vents in the ocean's floor. Water is so important to life on our planet because all life on it that we know of need it to survive, to produce energy. That does not mean life on other planets would even need it. All planets may be unique. There could be countless species on countless planets which have found other sources of energy than the sun or water. Hell, other species on other worlds may have evolved from different elements.........our planet may be the only one that harbors carbon based life. If that be the case, all bets are off.......as we on earth only know what the carbon based lifeforms on Earth need to survive......and even that knowledge is constantly changing.

This may sound strange, but I've read that a source has it that our little world has been quarantined off from the rest of the universes because our beliefs and views are too primitive...Not reaching our higher good.That life does exist on other planets, but they're not supposed to contact
us yet.
Oh...the things I read....
Chariots of the Gods? I've read it too... It's a... compelling book.
Also, I was going to add.... For any of you interested in reading that book (Chariots of the Gods? Published in the 1960s by a German author, in English) it addresses the hypothesis that aliens are coming to earth and have been here... and then some. The Bible, among other things, is a source. I highly recommend it.
How so?
because the universe is believed to be ever expanding.........even if not, it is quite big. We humans have not even explored our own Milky Way galaxy, one of billions of galaxies.
To declare yourself to be the only life in existence when you've not even explored .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe is quite arrogant, and stupid. Only a moron would proclaim something of the nature. There are 6 billion people on our planet. That would be the equivelant of someone never leaving their house and proclaiming, "I'm the only person in existence with brown eyes". Quite the moron he would be, agree?
