POLL: Do aliens exist?

I will say no, though in all common sense I should vote don't know. No proof of existence, no proof of non-existance.

Anywas, if by chance there is some alien existance that exists 999 gazillion light years away, as far as I'm concerned, they do not exist.
 
Almost certainly, whether they are here, or not is another question.

As a matter of fact, it is rather presumptuous of us to assume they're more advanced than us. How do you know we won't be the 'little hairless men' invading their planet and probing them someday?
 
I believe they exist. Whether they exist in the same time frame as us, that I don't know.

But I believe they exist in some time frame in somewhere in the universe. It may be before we come to exist or it may be after we cease.

As to how advance they are, probably too hard to say.

Whether they are created by same god, well I simply have no religion and so no clue yet which one create us.

i wonder if ive been running Folding@Home for nothing for all this time, i wonder what they actually do with all these work units...
 
Krunchy, simply stating we believe in alien life doesn't necessitate that they are more intelligent than us or even capable of interstellar travel or communication. Perhaps they are the most crudest of lifeforms or simply too far to make it here regardless of their technological achievements in their own place in the universe.
Who is to say alien civilizations haven't risen and fallen before we even came into being? The universe is so large that it's beyond our comprehension and there is no telling what's out there or has been out there or is in the infantile stages of forming. It boggles the mind.
However, I feel they have visited Earth for whatever reasons. There are so many reports from the military and very credible witnesses about objects and behaviors that defy explanation to write them all off. I don't know if we'll ever find out in our lifetime or if the truth is too terrifying or overwhelming for us to handle but maybe someday the answer will be known.

I am neither but I do believe there is something out there. We are just not yet advanced enough to find it.
 
My cousin's friend's brother-in-law's father knows a friend who's half-brother was abducted right from his backyard while he was barbequeing!!! :Q

In other words, if that happened to him, it CAN HAPPEN to ANYONE! 😕 Be afraid!.....Anal probes are only the first step of their exam. It only gets worse from there! :disgust:


So, in other words, YESSSS they do exist!
 
Depends on how you define aliens.

Do I think life exists on other planets in the universe? Yes.

Do I think aliens capable of amazing interstellar travel are coming to earth, and secretly contacting and infiltrating our government, and kidnapping and experimenting on human beings? No.
 
I would say given the vast size of the universe, that there is no way that earth is the only inhabited planet.

I would guess there are billions, trillions, perhaps quadrillians of other planets with life. However, probably most of those planets just have simple single cell types of life forms. Just to pick a random guess with NO backing whatsoever, I would say that there are probably a million planets throughout the universe with species of similar or greater intelligence as humans..
