Ok, who believes there are Aliens?

Well, that’s just the thing. It’s not an extraordinary claim at all.

Might I be allowed to rephrase my answer to the OP's question?.....No

 

[aFarewellToKings]

All of that vast space , I would hate to think that we are top of the Brain Chain

That's more like it.

 

[Minner]

I do not. I'm sure if there were other forms of life out there we would have sent them some foreign aid by now ...

I’m thinking maybe my first wife could’ve been an alien! When she was mad that always looked like she had just one eyeball in the middle of her head

I had one of those!

I can only spend so much time on the ****ter reading through these. But I will.

Who do I send the hospital bill to for hemorrhoid remediation? 😂

Here ya go man. No need to bust a 'roid reading all that stuff:

Leaving the concept of a higher power aside for the moment:

Given what we know about the size of the universe and the number of galaxies, and the number of stars within those galaxies, the odds of there not being life elsewhere are mind-bogglingly small.

BUT...the odds of us ever coming in contact with those life forms is also, by today's known math, mind-bogglingly small, because of the distances involved. The vastness of space is hard to comprehend. You'd have a better chance of finding a single needle in all of the combined haystacks everywhere on the earth than running into an alien life form.

Unless they are intelligent enough to know we are here and seek us. That's another can of worms and a different set of problems.

I've seen it illustrated as Earth's history as a 24 hour clock. From formation of the Earth we occupy only a tiny fraction of one second just before Midnight. Makes you feel kind a small.

Just to clarify, i'm talking about the interstellar (space) type. Personally, I think it's a 50/50 toss-up. I believe if they do exist, God made them. Thoughts?

Do you suppose THEY know God made them, or do we need to tell them too ?

so according to that other thread we all will know by next November, next year's rut is gonna be
