I believe that there is intelligent life, BUT, intelligent enough to get to Earth? No. Maybe around or above the thinking level of the Homo sapien, but nowhere near the technological level to actually visit Earth.

About the whole government cover-up, I think the government cover up "aliens" because they want to make us focus on something else, while they do whatever they please.

Also, a few years ago, I was a huge alien-life-visiting-earth/2012/ghost/etc believer. Scarred me for life, I cannot sleep properly because of that, but I was in Global today, we watched this thing about a caveman frozen and nearly perfectly preserved, nearly EVERY believable and non-sketched picture of aliens I've seen looks similar to this caveman.

My theory? These "UFOs" are military planes or ball lightnings. These "aliens" are frozen humans from a long time ago.

Oh, and just to screw around with everybody, the aliens HAVE to look like the Covenant Elites from Halo 3, no others. Except maybe the Grunts.

I think there are but they just haven't discovered the right planet yet.

[Mordecai the Hun...]

I believe that there's a planet out somewhere in the universe that's exactly like Earth, but the people are complete opposites of ourselves, kind of like a mirror word of sorts. As for aliens, I do somewhat believe that there are, in fact, aliens. They could be on other planets outside of our known solar system; they could be anywhere.

[Whoot Virus]

Why not?

We mustn't be the only living form in the space.
To think that we're alone... is silly
For sure there are planets like ours with 'creatures'

[Panlah Eats Cupc...]

I believe it's stupid to assume that there's no life on other planets. Humans are not special, and most people that do reply "no" to this debate are probably just in denial anyway. How dare we put forth the argument that we might not have the only life-giving planet?

We also need to take into account that there are a crapton of elements with the potential of supporting life if given the opportunity. While we ourselves are carbon based, there might be a race elsewhere based on silicon, or sulfur.

I think the reason other intelligent life hasn't actually tried to make contact is because the lot of us are stupid, warfaring numbskulls, and they don't want to get involved in THAT mess.

I hate to plug another thread, but recently the history channel's "The universe" said that there might be a planet with a liquid ocean, and thus life. I wrote a thread about it.

Personally I believe in aliens and UFO's, but I doubt we're going to learn the truth any time soon.

[NoirOverlord]

I beleive there's life on other planets. Intelligent life, not just animal life. There's no GUARANTEE that there's intelligent life, but in my opinion there's at least alien ANIMAL life. If Earth can become habitable, there is NO WAY no other planet can develop life. The Universe is INFINITE, how much sense would it make for there to be ONE planet with life on it out of the countless billions of worlds out there?

[Azreth]

I could seriously doubt that we are the only living beings in this entire galaxy. Sooooo.... Yes, I believe that there is other life.

[Meyerken]

There must be life out there somewher. But to believe that this life, if it's intelligent and evolved enoug, would get into their UFO and go searching earth out of a trillion planets is pretty foolish.

[Adriana88]

The space is so big, that we can not even imagine that. I believe that there is life on some other planet, I believe God have gained life to somebody else too (I mean, why would be the only ones in such a huge space). They probably look just as we do. I am Christian, so that is my opinion. If I weren't, I would probably think on some other way.

[bijoukaiba]

As everyone has said before... with the universe being as big as it is, I believe there must be life out there somewhere. Maybe not intelligent life, but possibly single-celled organisms. Tying in with that, maybe there are new elements out there somewhere as well.

I remember an interesting theory I read somewhere said that there might be a parallel universe, where our alternate forms are carrying out the lives we could've had. For example, if I had gone to a different college, or if I had never had a seizure.

You never know... perhaps somewhere far away, right now, there could be intelligent life forms questioning if there is any other life in the universe (because they don't know about us yet).

The idea of intelligent life is so fascinating on so many different levels! I am a bit more fascinated with the idea of the COGNITIVE traits the life forms would hypothetically possess, rather than biological/physical stuff. Do they form societies? Do they have a religion? Do they have emotions? How 'intelligent' are they?

Someone get me a spaceship, I want to know right now! Beam me up, Scotty!

[Zoreta]

Depending on your parallel universe/ time travel theory of choice, alien life may be guaranteed by default, if any life that does not have an ancestor born on the planet beneath my feet is considered alien. Depending on your definition of alien, you could even consider the children of the bacteria and microbes that went with our astronauts in to space to be aliens. Perhaps not alien in origin, but extra-terrestrials.

If you aren't a parallel universe fan, then even within the trillions of stars, it's unlikely that we're the sole lottery winner, so to speak- given that the universe is constantly shifting and galaxies and planets are constantly forming or being destroyed, at some point the combination would have come up again. A bit like the infinitely many monkeys on typewriters, if all combinations are possible, then all combinations will appear.
I think we pull the net too small in the mouth when we look for hospitable planets- right here on Earth we have microbes that thrive well above boiling or below freezing.

Intelligent life is a different kettle of fish, though, as we only have one example of a species that became intelligent enough to consciously explore space- us. We don't know how often a species forms that has reached or exceeded our level- personally, I believe they are out there, but likely too far off to actively visit Earth. Even going at near-light speed, it would take years for any alien life to meet us, with no guarantee that we would still be there. The only evidence of our existence is radio signals from Earth, and those have only been broadcasting for 70 or so years- meaning that any alien visitor would have to be within 70 light years of us to even know we exist, and within 35 lightyears to be just arriving now- just a stone's throw in cosmic terms.

[TTD]

I'm a Calvinist Christian, and I believe there coudn't possibly be life on other planets due to that fact.

[SamanthaNatalie]

Its definatly a possibility!

[qgag]

Well, if i base my opinion on what I know about Evolution and The Beginning Of Life On Earth, I say: "Why Not?!"

If life truly began like They say it did, well it not only could, but WOULD have happenned! I mean, it's like in the video game called "Spore". We come from a long way and we have a long way to go! And in Spore, not only do you evolve, but other species evolve too!! so it could all be true!!

[duck]

definitely. in one of the non-tabloid newspapers I saw an article about micro-organisms on mars

[Haruaya]

Yes. If we are able to live on Earth, then why do we question the fact that there could be life on other places? If there is at least ONE place to sustain life, there must be at least one more. Its probaly in another universe, so far away that we may not be able to see or at the least, go to. I belive that there must be life on other plants, as there are other people on Earth, thinking we are the only life out there, is well, selfish. The other life out there, probaly wonders if there the only ones out there too. I assume, that there MUST be at least ONE living thing out there, it may not even be human like or even abled to move. It may be close to a plant. Think about it, if we can live on Earth and evolved to live here, then whose to say that they haven't evovled to live on there plant.

[Hamburger]

Yes. Think about it. There are millions of galaxys with millions of stars in each of them. So, There is bound to be at least one planet with life on it that isn't earth. But they wouldn't be very intelligent i'm guessing

[Wingcap]

Did you ever think, that what you think could be an alien, could think you are an alien?

Although, I think, due to the vastness of the universe, there definitely is. However, due to said vastness, we may never find it/them.

[coolcat101s]

it's nearly impossible for there not to be some form of life as we know it when you add in life in forms that we can't imagine well then thats something else entirely and I really have no idea what kind of stistics that would have. Microbe life most likely yes, multi celled life less likely but still possable, intellegent life, unlikely but there is still a chance.
