24th April 2014: Do aliens exist?

Recommended Posts

Well, I tend to believe that life is in some way a naturally developing phenomemon which will tend to develop wherever the conditoins for it are suitable for long enough. And already astronomers have discovered that planets orbiting stars are actually very common out there, so given the enormity of the galaxy, let alone the universe, there must be many other planets capable of sustaining life with alien life on them.

Intelligent life is probably much rarer, yet again given the enormity of even our own galaxy, it must surely exist out there. Whether it is ever possible for any of these intelligent aliens to travel the vast distances necessary for them to actually "visit" us, I am less certain about, but I certainly do not dismiss the possibility.

Depends on what you mean by "aliens" ... but yes, simple probability says that life will exist somewhere else.  Whether it's what we would describe as an "intelligent race" (and sometimes I struggle to put humans in that category) is unknowable, but life is out there.

It's a classic near-zero * near-infinity calculation.  As long as the probability is > 0, no matter how close to zero it is, the percentage chance across the universe is 100%.  Since we exist, the probability must be > 0 ... QED.

Given the size of the universe I think that intelligent life out there exists on more than one planet. Are they visiting earth?  Definitely not. There is absolutely no evidence of any other life visiting earth. Any evidence of other life visiting earth has been disproven or discredited.
