Is there life out there (aliens) that we will one day meet ?

If there are aliens out there, I'd be willing to bet they won't contact us until we've stopped killing each other in silly little wars. After all, would you risk "warp drive" falling into the hands of us Klingons?

of course. As long there is a living thing outside space, they r aliens. The possibility is low but the no. of planet is almost infinity so the possibility increases.

Yes, there has to be.  The universe is immense with many galaxies, and many suns.  There must be a lot of similar planets out there somewhere, why should there be only Earth with life?  We might never meet any extraterrestrials, probably aren't supposed to, which could explain the vast distances.  Some other beings exist now, or were extinct eons ago, or are yet to be.  I think they are a lot like us, not made of electricity or silicon, or in only two dimensions like some sci fi.

Being an avid science fiction fan and part-time speculative thinker (or something), I would like to believe that there IS life out there.  The universe is so vast, surely the possibility exists.\n\nOnly don't you think we would have had some contact by now? Oh, yeah, maybe we have...nobody really believes that weather balloon story, do they?  Maybe that's the secret...

There is alien  life. Perhaps not in our solar system but definately out there.\nNow this life could be simple microbes or anything like that.\nIntelligent life may be out there too, it all depends on how things developed after the big bang. There   MUST Be intelligent life out there.. There's none here!!!

Yes, it is entirely possible that there could be planets in other galaxies with life on them. There is nothing preventing the same conditions on our world being found on another world. It doesn't matter what people think about "aliens visiting our planet" or whether we can know about life out there. It definitely is possible.\n\nAs for the comment from Iamtheweasel: The bible doesn't say that you exist, but there you are! I don't mean to be rude, but does the Bible really have to say everything explicitly for it to be true, or even probable? It absolutely does not contradict that there is life on other worlds. From a fellow Christian, please don't be so closed-minded, especially by using a "No true Scotsman" fallacy of definition to define a Christian as one who doesn't think it's probable that there is life on other worlds.

The US government will tell the truth about contact with extraterrestrials when it actually happens.\nNow go put your tinfoil hat back on.

Maybe we should start a little closer to home...if we can conquer the moon...then maybe we can move on to others like mars and yes there is extraterrestrial life..but I have doubts they are there on Mars..We certainly are not the only Intelligence in the universe..but then ...Humans on a daily basis make it very obvious that we are far from intelligent.

May be we humans are the aliens??!!! Ever thought about that!

I believe there is life other than on Earth. Even if just mathematically!\nAn interesting point though, is that the authorities on this field have concluded that the nearest system that COULD support life is Sirius. That's interesting, because throughout history, the more believable tales of alien contact seem to all point to that star system. The Dogon tribe are a classic example of that. They apparently knew of Sirius A and its two companions(Sirius B and Sirius C) long before any 'civilised' society. Sirius C has yet to be discovered, but could well be there! I quote from Wikipedia: "Apparent orbital irregularities in Sirius B have been observed since 1894, suggesting a third very small companion star, but this has never been definitely confirmed." \n\nAs to us being Parasites on this Living Planet, I couldn't agree more.

Come to think of it... we all know that our planet is an insignificant speck circling an ordinary star, far out on a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is an ordinary congress of a few HUNDRED BILLION stars among at least a HUNDRED BILLION GALAXIES!!!\nWe are still the only intilligent life we know of anywhere. But now humankind has taken a dramatic leap towards a possible demotion. Planet-hunting scientists and astronomers world wide are refining their technique in detecting other planets in far off stars & galaxies. who knows that one day, we may be able to find a world that is much like ours?\nFor now, humanity can bask in its special status as the only life known to be contemplating such questions. Many scientists predicts that this distinction, too, will crumble. But the search for other worlds is not only a quest for kindred intelligenc. it is also about the destiny of human species. Where are we going to be a hundred million years from now? Where will we go, and how will we get there? And how will it change who we are? _end

A recent scientific study estimates that there are AT LEAST 70-sextillion stars in the universe, one of which is of course are own sun. The odds AGAINST none of those other stars having planets occupied by sentient life are astronomical (pun intended). Undoubtedly of all the life forms that exist in the universe some are technologically at the same level as we are, while others are at least several thousand years ahead of us. Still others might be where we were 3-million years ago---just down from the trees. Certainly, any alien life with any intelligence at all must wonder if there are other life forms somewhere other than their own world.

Who said most of us believe in aliens?  If by "aliens" you mean life existing outside of Earth, then I guess I would speculate that aliens exist.  If you have the impression that aliens are little green men that visit Earth in UFOs and use probes, then that is just ridiculous.  Considering the billions of stars in each of the trillions of galaxies that exist in our solar system, it seems logical to assume that at least one other planet in one other solar system has some form of life, even if it is only similar to bacteria.  There is no proof, much in the same way that you cannot "prove" that aliens *don't* exist.

If you mean aliens that have visited Earth then NO.  Sci Fi bullsh*t that deserves no airtime at all.  If you mean the existence of life on any planet anywhere in the Universe then undoubtedly it does exist.

There have been a lot of questions about this recently, and as you stated, there are billions of galaxies out there.\nHow many we don't know.  But certainly enough that it isn't out of the question that a lifeform could evolve out there.  Not necessarily humanoid but a lifeform.  They may not look anything like humans or for that matter anything we got on earth.\nThe fact is, everything we know about living things is based on what we have available here on earth.\nThere is the possibility of a lifeform that doesn't require an oxygen based atmosphere.  \nWe are still in the infancy stage of development in space.  If the beings out there are advanced by say 10000 years and have the technology, they could already have been here and are monitoring us as we plod along.  Nobody knows for sure.\nAll we have are guesses and speculation.  No hard facts are available.

Probably not.  That doesn't mean that we are the only life forms in the universe.  It only means that the probability that these life forms advanced to intelligent life, and have developed the technology to visit us is pretty slim.  Life on earth as we know it could be destroyed by a single meteor.

Yes. There has to be! In the trillions of stars and billions of planets, by virtue of the odds, there has to be. Will we be able to find life? Very doubtful.
