    Theres no point posting this in another forum as its a question for the general public (or culchie rock lovers as it is today).

    So, do you believe in other life out there or are we alone in the universe? Its a debate i have with my girlfriend over and over (its great:D)

    I definitly believe we are not alone! I would even be open to the fact that there is other intelligent life out there! I dont believe its as we see on TV, little green martians etc etc but i certainly believe its possible!

    So seeing as I believe, im looking for people who dont, so if you dont believe, why not? Logical arguments would be a bonus too!

    *lets assume that all the sh1t after hours jokes have been said already, my ma has been insulted and the 2nd poster got loads of thanks and perhaps we can have a real discussion now, woohoo!*

    Ive also limited the poll to get a better idea and in a bold move ive left out the atari jaguar option so if you dont care just dont vote!

    I'm monitoring this thread from my intergalactic control ship which is hidden from view behind the moon.

    So yes, I do.

    Is there intelligent life out there, you ask? Well, let's just try and find some intelligent life down here, first.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    If I had to pick an option then I'd say yes.

    Aliens are real, I've met them.
    They are abducting all men with big cocks, so most of you lads are safe.
    I'm just posting this to say goodbye, as I leave on the mothership tonight..

    Watch this and see if you believe that the conditions for life to arise could only have happened on our planet; the universe is pretty fukking big so it is!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Definitly not.
    Yep. No doubt.

    Most likely other life with technology which would amaze us.

    Since the nearest Star to us that might contain life on some piece of rock that might me in orbit around it is 80 light years away, it would take many generations of them travelling for a period of time that is longer than the age of the Earth to even get here to say hello so i think we can forget about them, unless they can travel faster than the speed of light, which potentially is using entering a higher dimension to us, so with that, we couldn't communicate with them.
    They are probably all around us, but are so far away and probably have no interest in us what so ever , they may as well not exist as far as we are concerned.:D anyways, back to my Vino, the bringer of clarity.;)

    Oh course there is alien life. It quite probably is just micro-organisms, but there is little doubt it exists.

    Perhaps you meant intelligent life. Well...trillions upon trillions of galaxies with trillions of stars in each, and with perhaps an average of 4-5 plants around each. It's logical to believe at least one of them can support life as we know it, and has existed long enough for intelligent life of some sort to have evolved.

    Have they visited us? That's much much less likely.

    Of course life exists on other planets but I doubt there's any as advanced as we are

    Being an extremist in any sense usually means ignoring the possibility of the other side of the argument being wrong, so your poll is just wrong.
    However, I do believe in the possibility of alien life, intelligent or not. I don't believe it'll ever be possible for us to contact them in person

    I could think of something else you should be doing over and over with your girlfriend.. whats wrong with you?!


    OT: Yes.. no.. maybe.


    Needs multi-option poll :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭MaybeLogic


    In an infinite universe with infinite possibilities,I'd be extremely surprised if we were the only lifeforms floating about.And given our psychology still rests in the paeliolithic age,technology only existing in a relative instant,I'd hazard a guess that some of those existing lifeforms,if any, are more advanced than ourselves.
    Definitely? Maybe.
    Considering the Dogon/Sirius conundrum or, perhaps less pertaintly, the UMMO mysteries,could give pause for thought.

    People who don't believe in aliens are normally closed minded anyways. It's such a big universe filled with millions of planets. There is no doubt that there are aliens, just maybe not little green fellas.

    You would be naive to think that. I have no doubt in my mind there is life on similar planets to this that have life and technology which would just blow us away if we seen it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,669 ✭✭✭Riddle101

    I believe in the possibility that there is life on other planets, but I would say they're proberly very very very very very very very very very very far away, and proberly at the same technology level as Earth. Maybe there is another type of human species living someone in the Universe.

    Thats the vid that made me ask this question in the first place!

    True, I doubt the human race will ever meet other intelligent life as no doubt they are too far away but the answer to the question is either there is or there isn't so I just thought i'd ask!
    Oh course there is alien life. It quite probably is just micro-organisms, but there is little doubt it exists.

    Read my original properly!

    Why do you doubt that? I wouldnt be surprised if theres hundreds of different civilisations much more advanced than us! If you need any proof humans are the perfect example, if we can produce what we have with only the things we have found on this planet why couldnt anything else? And their planets probably have different substances and elements on it so therefore the potential for completely different technologies!

    The poll equates to the real answer of the question, I mean, there either definitly is or definitly is not other life!
