People have been looking for life beyond our own solar system for a long time now. Is it possible that there are other planets that sustain life similar to our own? If there is life out there are they like us or are the developed totally different from us. What is the likeliness of them wanting to come to Earth? Are they evil and want to take over our planet to conquer the universe or do they want to make friends.
What is everyones thoughts about the unvierse and extera terrestrials?

There is intelligent life, just not on Earth. Humans are dumb, petty creatures.

Well, with how big the universe is there has be some other intelligent life some where. Especially if you believe only in science, which means that we where not created special and the odds for other planets having intelligent life are even with ours. Heck, it says somewhere in the Bible that God went on to create a thousand other worlds, so even if you’re religious person, the idea of there being life on other worlds is not impossible. The thing about them coming to us is, if they developed enough to figure out to do Intergalactic travel quickly, and without Time dilation.

I was falling asleep when I typed that
@ WillPhanto1: I am a christian and when I was 15 I had an argument with our youth pastor saying that it was possible for got to have created life beyond our own planet. She did not seem happy with me.

It takes to long to load any other Neighborhood which is why I alsways play the same one which is Strangeville. My sister always plays the first neighborhood and I found that I would go back on and she would have my person having and affir with her one or moved out of the house.
Anyway I have no real idea if there are aliens or life beyond our own planet. I just think that it is a possibiliy that when God created life that it is possible for it to be beyond our own planet aswell. That is one thing that we may never know forsure in our life time either. I think that the argument that my mum had was if there was life beyond our own planet then Jesus would of had to die for the sins on Each planet there was life. My argument back was the life out there may only be like animals, micro organisiums or that Jesus only had to go to one planet to due for our sins for the whole universe.

If you are christian, God made the earth to only have life. He made the other solar systems to be stars to light up the earths sky because he saw that was good. He did not make any other species on other planets.

It is highly unlikely that earth is the only planet that can sustain life. There may not be any intelligent life, but I imagine that organisms similar to bacteria exist on other planets. I wouldn't be surprised if a planet that has evolved to at least the level of earth existed, but there is little to no chance that we will ever come into contact with other intelligent life forms.

I'd say it's fairly likely that we have intelligent life in the universe. Out of all of the star systems that exist in the universe, one out of two have planets, and of the systems that have planets, there is a high probability that one or two planets in the solar system can support life. Given those conditions, it's hard to think that life couldn't have developed somewhere. Given the number of stars in the universe, and the probability of supporting life, I could certainly believe that intelligent life could have evolved somewhere.

But then if you strongly believe in God and his whole creation thing then the bible doesnt mention anything about other planets or life forms.
If there is then image what heaven would be like, kinda crowded up there aye. But then if there is other life forms then does God really exist, surely other life forms wouldnt believe in a humanistic God. So do they goto hell? Or do we goto Hell for not believing in the real God? Kinda interesting when you think about it. But that poses the question where did God come from? how did everything begin? If so why would God create such a vast universe with no end with millions of planets and stars but no other life?. If you believe in evolution then there must bo other planets out there with the same stability as earth. That can hold our form of life. Why would there be so many places with no other life when evolution says that animals evolve to deal with the enviroment. That all life starts as something small. Have you ever heard the term "why in Gods earth?". That poses the question does this earth belong to God and that other planets with other life belong to a different God?. This topic holds so much potential for an interesting discussion.

i think as a religous person that not only did god create the other planets as a marvlous thing of beauty to appreciate, but i think that when the time comes that god has these other planets in mind for us to populate one day when earth is cramped. some how someway,someday. as the bible says"allthings are possible with god"

lol its ok, this topic can sometimes get people a little touchy. Dont get me wrong I believe in God, we all need a faith but where and why. With the vast space of the universe is the humanized God the real deal?. Even on earth we amongst many cultures believe in different God's. Which is what starts wars, what makes us think that other forms of life on other worlds believe in different God's again.
It poses many questions, there are millions of questions that will remain unanswered until we die. But imput any imagination is always interesting.

4 points for now (from a Christian perspective):
1. My problems with the Big Bang is not in it happening, but in the physical impossibilities required to form a stable universe following the event. 2. God created the entire universe for His glory. Basically, just because he could. 3. God has always existed. He didn't "come from" anywhere. 4. It is entirely possible that intelligent life exists elsewhere. The Bible neither supports or refutes this. Just the existence of intelligent life does not mean that humans are any less significant or special in the universe.

Thats a great perspective but what if the bible was made up? what if God is made up?
Then what, my problem with the big bang is where did the matter that caused the big bang come form. That supports my religious perspective on that. But then what made God. Every answer causes another question.

@ Zairak: I agree. Anyway, as far as life on other planets, I'm more inclined to believe that any alien life would merely be some bacterial scum as opposed to any sort of organized, much less intelligent, life.

But why is that? We here exist on earth. By your logic then we are also a bacterial life form. To another life in the universe. If our planet is the perfect length from the sun then every other Solar system must have the same planet with the perfect length from the sun.
When you look into the stary sky you see plenty of stars. Each of which have their own solar systems and each with a planet close enough to our own in status. Why can they not sustain life such as our own.
