Do you believe in aliens?

[ICBCOK]

I don’t believe in aliens. I find it likely that there are aliens. It would be awesome to find evidence that there is.

[intelegan]

Given the size of our universe and the amount of planets we've found, the probability for ANY life to exist on just one of those planets approaches 1. Even if we narrow the scope to intelligent life, I still feel the odds are extremely high.

I don't believe that aliens have visited our planet. Ignoring the likelyhood that FTL may be impossible, I feel that if aliens came to Earth, it would be a HUGE deal. I don't believe the governments of the planet are all-knowing and all-powerful like some conspiracy theorists believe. They're made up of people, and definitive proof would have gotten out.

It depends on what you mean by aliens, if you mean alien life like bacteria, I think the chances are almost one hundred percent that alien bacteria life exists, if you mean animals and plants like the ones we have I will believe there are, but if you mean alien intelligent life capable of the same or even greater technology as us, I think that is more difficult.

[maxyotz]

I think so. Because there are lot of things outside Earth, too way big and wide for a single species to be alive. and if they are really true aliens, maybe they wouldn't look like those in movies, they may look the same like us, who knows?

Aliens must exist because man is not something special in the universe. It was formed under the same conditions as millions of similar planets and solar systems. Therefore, it is logical that similar forms of life should exist in other parts of the universe.

[Pluvi0phil3]

I believe in extraterrestrial life forms yes.  From my recollection that's pretty much been proven anyway, I think, as we've found evidence of microbes.  So if it used to exist, i'm pretty certain it still does, somewhere.  Do I believe in aliens who visit earth to torture children, mutilate cows, and rape unsuspecting farmers?  Not so much.  I believe in the power of the human imagination fully though.

No one will ever give us a demonstrative single instance of the contacts of extraterrestrial civilization with the people of the earth. Only when the Earthlings themselves see something, Then there will be a grand sensation. But until this time it's all just talking and unrealistic pictures on the web.

[saothanhpho]

I think its simply probably that we are that aliens from past time. Earth have a bilions years a civilisation what we know have a percent of this, maybe people or something similar live and "escape" from Earth to another galactic...

[tonikrs]

There is a nice dialog in movie - Contact (1997) about aliens.
Ellie Arroway: [to a group of children] I'll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space. Right?

[lequanggiang]

I do not believe in aliens because I do not see aliens so I should not believe it. But many believe in the aliens even though they do not see it I have nothing to do with the believers, as long as I do not believe it because I have never seen aliens.

[ninninja]

Absolutely - just that our chances of actually interacting with any of them are pretty damn ridiculously small. They'll be out there somewhere but we can't get to them and they can't get to us (or if they could why would they want to?)

[bakiak78]

not because I have not seen it myself

[Nelson2]

There are almost an infinite number of stars, and a lot of those stars have planets. The probababilty that not even one other planet out of all those planets don't have life is 0. So there are aliens for sure.

[jdeanne92]

my motto is too see is to believe. so i do not believe in aliens. but when the time comes that i see one my answer would be yes

[Baoo]

yes i do .. as there's life on earth there's bound to be life on other planets ..

No, i don't believe in aliens .

[Ivan16]

I believe! I don't think that we are the only one who live in the universe,universe has many planets, and it can be livable.

Exactly. Our galaxy alone contains 10 billion terrestial planets. Gas giants like Jupiter are not included here as they wouldn't be able to sustain life like we know it.
I repeat; 10 billion planets that have the potential to harbor life. And guess what, there are 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. That's 20 billion trillion, or 20.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 terrestial planets. That's only in the observable universe! The notion that Earth is the only place where life exists in the universe, is simply ignorant, self-centric, and unfathomably improbable.
