Do you believe there could be life elsewhere in the Universe?

Yes, but i think we are probably too primative and warlike for them to bother with. If I was an alien looking at our planet I'd wonder that there could be much intelligence amongst the humans, after all we are destroying our planet home, I would get back in my spaceship and fly away too. I think that's why people see UFO's but they don't land here often.

My best answer would be that I'm not going to discount the possibility that there is life out there somewhere. The Bible tells us that God created life on Earth, but it doesn't say whether He created life elsewhere in our universe. If He ever wants us to know, He'll tell us. Until then, I know that all things are possible thru God.

Sorry, i am n't sure about it and also do n't have any idea on urs this question. Although i take interest in space life, yet do n't know about it. Many scientists r searching for life on the other plantes of the universe. I think that there're people lived in other stars too in the past but right now, they do n't live bcuz temperature and other bad changes have finished life on other parts of the universe.

Yes, I do. Even on earth there exist different species in different climatic conditions. We have species that exist in extreme cold conditions, those in extreme hot, those surviving in water, those surviving in deserts. Those who prefer darkness and those who prefer light. So, there must exist some other species elsewhere in this universe :)

That makes sense.

The Universe is such an infinitely large place there MUST be life in it somewhere. Even if life developing on Earth was a billion-to-one chance, the Universe is so big that there would be multiple billion-to-one probabilities occurring. Life in the form of bacteria is probably relatively common. There are some bacteria that could survive virtually any conditions, even nuclear war or the climate of Antarctica. Intelligent life would be much rarer. The big question is, will we ever find out the truth and contact alien civilisations? My feeling is no, but only because the distances and times involved are too great.

It would be so neat if we did find an alien civilization elsewhere though, wouldn't it?

I'm sure there is. It brings to the question, where did we come from? How were were made? We certainly cannot be the ONLY living lifeforms in the universe. I personally do believe in "Aliens". Why not? The universe is a wonderment, where did the universe come from? This was an interesting question.

I do believe there is life elsewhere in the universe. I can't grasp the idea that we are alone in this wide universe. There may not be life in our galaxy, but there are plenty of others that could have life.

Well, I'd have to say...it's not completely impossible, but I do have my doubts. foe one God gave us the Bible, and it says nothing about life anywhere except here. So if he did create life on another planet somewhere, he must've given them a completely seperate scripture that tells them nothing of us. If there is life elsewhere, it must not be very much more intelligent than us, because if it was, it would have gotten in touch with us somehow by now. But as was said in the movie "Contact": there are trillions of stars out there, and if only 1/4 of them sustained planets, and if only 1/4 of those planets were capable of sustaining life...if there is no other life out there it would be an awful waste of space...

Those are all good valid points. One thing I'd like to point out is that, at least that I can find, there isn't anything in the scriptures that says there is not intelligent life elsewhere. Really I don't think there is, but ya never really know.

Yes.There might be.the whole earth might just be controlled by aliens and we don't even know.There are probably some further planets that also has humans but it's probably too far away in the universe.
