I was reading this article today about how there is more H2O on the moon than originally believed.
Makes one pause and ponder that perhaps there very well could be other life...not necessarily on the moon, but somewhere in this universe. Granted, that other life could be something more along the lines of an anaerobic particle form, rather than a sophisticated, highly evolved living being...You know, like David Hasselhoff's drunk extraterrestial twin eating a burger with its tentacles while rolling on the carpet of some living room over in a nearby galaxy 3.6 megaparsecs away in Ursa Major.
Do you think that only planet Earth supports life in the universe, or do you think we're not alone?
Cue Twilight Zone music here, please...

Well there are other solar systems out there. I have no idea how many but there is bound to be a handful that closely resemvle ours. I figure if there is another planet roughly the same distance from it's sun as we are from ours chances are it evolved much the same way as our planet did.

I really doubt that we're the only intelligent life in the universe. Almost seems impossible, considering the size of the thing.
From the movie, Contact.

I'm an alien. At least I've been alienating people for decades.
This post contains absolutely nothing of any redeeming social value. Viewer discretion advised

If we are alone, we deserve to be. Any intelligent being would have observed us from a distance and decided to remain in hiding till sanity takes over our Planet.
Does seem to be a he**uva waste of Real Estate if we are the only inhabited World in our Galaxy.
There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.


I'm not convinced you can call us an intelligent life form to be honest.....lol
All kidding aside, I don't believe we're alone.........that's why I run BOINC and SETI on all my computers at home and at work!

I agree with Dumbob
"Doin' right ain't got no end." Cap'n Red Legs

Dumbob's post reminds me of some sci fi books I read years ago. I wish I could remember the author's name or the titles but I don't...........so if this ring's anybody's bells, let me know, I'd love to read them again.
The story line is a couple other denizen's of our universe get into an interplanetary war with each other. However, their respective planets have been peaceful for so long, they don't remember how to make war. So both planets go searching for mercenaries to hire and run into the meanest, nastiest, most violent beings in the universe and hire them......or should I say, "us".
LOL

I don't know.
"I’d say if it is just us…seems like an awful waste of space.”
10-20 years ago that quote may have made sence. Now knowing we are quickly overpopulating our planet and killing it in the process. Maybe God felt we may some day need that much space?

Hmmm...interesting..So far, it seems that there are more believers in aliens than staunch proponents that we are definitely alone. Or do those who know that we are alone are the silent types?

Those that are sure we are alone are the same ones that believe big brother is attacking us with brainwaves. You know those folks you see outside the grocery store with the tinfoil hat.

If you were from an alien world and saw how we act, would you want to become friends?
If a UFO came to greet us, how would we greet them? Probably with multiple F-15's

If there are intelligent beings who decide to visit us, and if they came off their ship holding a giant book titled, "How to Serve Man", then I'd be proponent of blasting them back into orbit rather than end up in the stew-pot.

Radix-64:
If the title read How to Serve Man don't you think it would behoove us to read the few first pages before blasting them back into space?
serve (transitive verb) 1 a : to be a servant to : attend b : to give the service and respect due to (a superior) c : to comply with the commands or demands of : gratifyIt might not be a cookbook.

But of course. Sadly, in this episode of The Twilight Zone, the outcome was not quite benign.
