Is their life out in the darkness of space or are we alone?

Yes and it is on Mars! No, this isn't a joke, it's true there's bacteria there. That's life. But if you meant intelligent life, that's another story. I'm guessing there is, but it's very possible that these beings don't know of our existence or possibly know of us but would rather avoid us. Either way, is within the realm of possibility.

Without a doubt. Seeing all those stars in the sky.. One of them somewhere has to hold some kind of life. But I don't believe they travel to earth. No ET is phoning home LOL

I think aliens exist, but I don't think they live among us. Think of Earth and all of the cosmic and environmental factors that are required to sustain and promote life.  I think it would be unusual for similar conditions to exist in other galaxies that will produce intelligent beings that look exactly like humans.

It would be very self centered of us not to mention closed minded, to believe that we are the ONLY intelligence in the universe..there is so much that we don't even know of this our own planet...we are very very young...chances are our imagination cannot even comprehend what awaits in the vastness of space..we are still too primitive...Yep they are real..as real as you and I.

eyes alone.But they were lucky enough that they had no elecricity and they viewed the sky during night with perfect dark back ground. When ever electic supply  fails in my town  I used to view the sky during night. I was able to see the stars and other planets clearly than when there was electic supply illuminating the town.

My gut agrees with you, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. A sobering (and excellent) read is Rare Earth by Ward and Brownlee. One is an astronomer, the other a geologist. They make a convincing case that sentient life elsewhere in the universe is probably quite rare. At a minimum, they make minced meat out of the Drake Equation. Still, with so many possibilities ...\n\nThe other thing to remember is that first and possibly second generation of post-Big Bang stars could never have supported planets with life of any kind. It took billions of years before stars produced sufficient quantities of heavy elements that are essential for life.\n\nand, all those stars and all those galaxies don't exist simultaneously. As we look farther out into space, we are more and more likely looking at objects that no longer exist.\n\nso, having said all that, we must consider this. a) sentient beings are probably quite rare - whether you accept Ward and Brownlee's extreme argument or not. b) that life could only have existed for, say, the last 8 or 9 billion years of the universe's existence. c) the distances to other stars in our galaxy are vast, but the distances *between* the galaxies are mind boggling vast (there's a reason that even in Star Trek, with it's fantasy warp drive, the story lines are all confined to our own galaxy).\n\nJust food for thought.

Hello Dinodele2004,\n\nMany people are interested in Aliens and ask questions.\nFirst you live on this Planet Earth. Here the atmosphere is different than Mars I am sure you knew it. If you compare all other planet to Earth you will find all are different from Earth.\n\nSo, as we human being live here, we are expose in to sun light, we breath and inhale Oxygen and we eat and drink. This atmosphere is for People who live on Earth.\n\nWhen Astronauts go in to space they practice first and learn a lot of things they can not apply all earthy experience in space.\n\nSo, do not think about Aliens by the human perspective. There are space station in Space what if those space man give birth in space and those child grow up there what will be the affect on their bodies we must learn.\n\nThe image of Aliens, what if we just think those we call Aliens believe it or not were like us used to live on Earth but due to some big disaster and war they escaped this planet. You can think about it in the present situation. Some super power have technology if something happen here they can escape in to space. What if people before us did the same?\n\nAnswer to your question, may be and may be not.\n\nNote: Sorry if English mistakes, I am not native English speaker.

Great philosophical question.  I believe there are other living things somewhere in space.  Even if you believe we are a random happening, there are so many millions of planets out there that there would have to be a second occurrence like what happened to us.  And if there is a god, then I am sure other civilizations were created as well.  So either way, there is a good chance there are other life's somewhere in space.

In this huge galaxy called the Milky Way, the posibilities are great. The problem is knowing were to look and being lucky to find that "needle in a hay stack".\n\nWe're here, and maybe if other beings exist, they may never find us either.\n\nThe answer is to believe and continue to explore our galaxy with optical and radio telescopes. And untill humanity can explore fisicaly and populate other worlds, or just stay here and awate the end of life.

By definition, there ARE UFOs drifting around somehwere in space.  It stands for Unidentified Flying Object, and that can consist of just about anything that we can't identify.  The real question is:  is there other intelligent life in space?  The answer to this, no one knows.\n\nPersonally, I think there is.  But that's just me.

They do not exist in the universe.\nMaybe in our minds . . .

How can we be alone?\n6,487,053,332 humans moving on the planet (http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html) and u say we are alone!!!\nJokes apart... there is enough probability for life to exist in the universe.... if we are existing here... then there can be some other organism existing elsewhere...\n\nDefinitely there is life elsewhere... only problem... it'll take time to find them out...

we will never know whats going on out there if we dont explore it.\nmaybe there is aliens out there who would want to communicate with us or there may be some asteroid out there that is going to hit the Earth in near future.

Of course there is!  I've already answered a few questions like yours.  I have come across an alien-- actually a few.  The ones I met were extremely bright and intelligent.  They have a different way of revealing themselves, than what we might imagine.  We always think of movies and expect to see this "thing" in front of us, but the friends I met were very kind and very subtle in their approach.  I wasn't afraid of them at all.  We tend to heavily rely on what science calls the "five senses".  They, however, use different energy patterns to travel and communicate.  Sometimes, however, they show us their brilliance by revealing their beautiful lights at night--kinda like fireflies showing off in the night.  Other times they are invisible and you just kind of "sense" them around.  There is so much hype about them even after they've been here for eons.  Seems the ancient folks were drawing their crafts in the caves millions of years ago.  What I learned from them was that we have many good helpers watching us and protecting us.  I felt enormous compassion from them.  I really missed them when I no longer felt connected closely to them.  I've been answering questions like yours just because I like folks to know that we have a lot of help here.  There is so much fear about the planet's doom.  The message I received from my "alien" friends was one of hope and joy.  There's still work that needs to be done here, but we really and truly are being joined by a lot of planetary helpers.  I have no doubt about what I experienced as being true.  I was under no influence of drugs or hallucinogens.  I was just asking God for a better way to live.  I was also asking for some hope for my own life and purpose.  I was given an incredible answer by some incredible beings.  I always like to share my experience whether people believe me or not.  So, thanks for your question.  Perhaps some day you too will meet an "alien." \n\nAlso, I am told that at one point there were some very destructive forces that came here to cause chaos.  Those influences are currently exiting this plane.  Yeah!

Very Fascinating  Query indeed...Even scientists are looking for its answer...Their existence has been detected several times but it has never been confirmed...Even Armstrong saw them on the Moon...A few years back, Mexican Air Force had detected some Unidentified Flying Objects(UFOs) that could only be seen with the help of an Infra Red equipment...but they couldn't exactly explain what the flying objects were...eventually this matter went into cold storage...SETI has been trying to detect Aliens on the darker side of the moon...the side which can't be seen from earth...special and powerful modern equipments are also being utilised for this purpose...Well lets hope that their are Aliens........and they do not hate us..

This is a little hard to answer.\n\nFirst, we haven't found any.  So there's no positive evidence, so it's hard to be really sure. \n\nBut on the other hand, there are billions and billions of planets like ours, and it would be really weird if ours was the only one to have life on it.\n\nSo most astronomers think there's probably life out there somewhere.  I hope we find it.

Well, if they are out there, I don't think they are from the future.  Man would be silly to think that there are no other life forms out in space.  But, I don't think that those life forms are little green men.\n\nI think that we are the only intelligent human race there is.  I don't believe their are space ships abducting people.  You ever notice, its only in Western Civilization that the UFO concept exists?  You think that if China or other communist countries actually saw them they would not have blasted the snot out of them, especially during the cold war?\n\nGo down to South America where they CITI people have been scanning the Sky's for years.... If they haven't found anything, then the conspiracy theory is just that.\n\nUnless your a Sociologist.  Their religion is based on Aliens.  You will have to make your own decision on that one.\n\nGood luck on your search for the truth.
