With the threads about aliens eating us and wanting..... 'other' things, I figured I might as well start a poll about it. So, do you believe in aliens?
As for myself, nope.

Maybe leaning towards probably. Obviously, there's no real proof of any but I feel that there's a strong enough logical basis to assume that there's probably life out there somewhere.

Is there life outside of Earth? Most likely.
Is there intelligent life capable of communication with Earth? I don't know.

The universe is a big place no matter what your prior probabilities are.

Intelligent life? Almost certainly.
Intelligent Life that also visits Earth? Ha! No.

Absolutely possible. Any other answer assumes too much.

As said in a previous thread on this subject :
Considering the sheer size of the universe, the existence of another life somewhere is not just a possibility, but a certainty.

I guess so.
What if the probability of life forming is 1-in-howevermanystarsareintheuniverse? Our existence cannot be used as evidence that life is common.
I personally suspect, given how early life formed on our planet, that microbial life isn't an insurmountable challenge. Thus, that it's not uncommon. But that's hedged against the complete lack of evidence.
that was so much more concise than I could try to write.Similar threads
