[glow=red,2,300]I'm not sure if someone already started somthing like this but oh well. Does anyone on this site besides me and one of my friends think that it is totally arrogent to think that Earth hold the only smart life in the whole universe. If we shorten the mesure and say the world is the universe then thats like saying there is one man in the world. It's outragously (sp) stupid. It's plain arrogence. (sry that might be offensive to those of you who think we are alone.) [/glow]

Ah! yes Alistar, that is indeed Arrogance, as I have thought on many occasions. However, we define life in such a strict way that we will probably never know of other beings becuase of the fact we will overlook them. It is entirely possible that there are things we cannot see that are well beyond the limits of even the most powerful imagination of any human being. For instance, it is physically impossible for the human mind to fully grasp the concept of infinity. This is mainly becuase of our tie to relativity in judgement of all existance (and non-existance). So therefore, it is entirely plausible that there are many other things we are incapable of seeing.

Granted that your statment is true........ Humans have an ability to take anything and twist it into somthing they WANT to believe even if it is untrue. so most humans have chosen to deny the fact that there might be some sort of life out there that may be smarter than us.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about the universe:
All kidding aside though, it is very easy a plethora of reasons why one would deny the existence of life on other planets. Perhaps the largest one that comes to mind is religion. None of the major beliefs say anything about aliens.
I myself adopt an agnostic view torwards the matter of extraterrestrial life; there is absolutely no proof for or against the existens of other life in our universe, and thus nothing for me to actually ground an argument on.

Quite so. And Frankly, if there is extraterrestrial life, it has no effect on mine as of yet, so I'm perfectly content with wasting my life on my computer and not worrying about other life. As far as I'm concerned, the farthest I need to look for life is in my refrigerator, where the Mold Beast sleeps, and makes my milk taste funkeh.

OK...
Well I think the thought of there being other life out there is very interesting. I mean I always wonder at times what else is out there. And if there are others what do they look like? Are they friendly? So many question yet no really sure answers.

I really think that both of you are being ...well stupid . You must be aware that there are no planets in our solar system that contain life. And now, you must be aware of distance and time. It would many many many years for us to even travel to a planet like Neptune or Pluto, and the nearest system containing planets to ours is even farther away. It would take about a few thousand years for us to travel there, now, do you really think that an "alien" would travel a few thousand years just to start a fight? I think you've both seen independence day one to many times.

Yeah you are. I really think both of you have been watching to much american television. Shows about people video taping "lights in the sky". OoOoh, isnt that scary. You know, i saw a website, it showed a picture of "several lights above the city", yet when you brighten, and enhance the image, it shows the view of a wing of a boeing 737 aircraft, with the red and white lights flashing at the tips. Another image showed pairs of lights decending above a arizona desert. The report was later brought to the attention of military personnel who said they were merely countermeasures dropped by military fighter jets in a training excercises. You know, common sense applied to these theories makes you look pretty stupid.
People say they know what a little alien looks like from supposibly a "UFO crash nearby a city famous for such an event. Roswell New Mexico. A little grey guy slightly smaller than a human was brought to Area 51. HA thats the best one yet.
Who says the aliens are even bigger then us, and who says they are going to kill us all. For all I know, they could be the size of a bacteria invading your banana that your mother told you to eat with your grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. People who believe that they are going to conquer the earth and kill us all, really, i can easily say they have no life, once so ever.
