Well, apart from us being them in a sense already, being in space, I believe there will be other species, as technologically advanced as ours, or more so, would be cool to meet a species from another planet in my life time, but will just have to wait and see there I suppose.

I'm neutral on the whole topic. I think it's definitely a possibility that there are aliens, the universe is so big that there's a good chance there are aliens somewhere, but until I see definite proof, I won't say either way about their existence.

[εmptε]

Doesn't this topic already exist?

[de l'eau salée]

Oh, I know they exist. (Thank you, McGooglian!)


In all seriousness, though, yes I do believe they exist. Maybe not the stereotypical "alien," but there's no way Earth is the only planet with more advanced life-forms such as ours.

That's how I think about it too

I work with a few aliens.

[Indigo Knight]

They do. Microcellular organisms found in meteors have been proven to be extraterrestrial. I believe that fits the definition of being alien.

Microcellular organisms found in meteors do not fit the definition given in the original post: "as technologically advanced as ours, or more so".

"the universe is pretty big I'd imagine -- on a rough estimate"

The universe is so incredibly vast that you are not capable of imagining its immensity.
If you want to believe that pyramids were built by aliens from other planets, you can go join the organizations of superstitious people who have already developed those theories.
You can also believe that the Earth is flat, if you want. You can also believe that Nostradmus predicted the inevitable end of the world in 2012, if you want to.
You can also believe that god created the world in 6 days, about 6,000 years ago, if you want. Maybe god created the pyramids on the 8th day, because 6,000 years is about how long the oldest of them have existed.
Or you can take the shortcut to all that and joined the Raelians, who are about the most delusional bunch of ignorant freaks around.

In fact, it was as a reaction to seeing some videos by Raelians on YouTube that I made the video with the panda bear "There ARE No UFOs!".

You can believe anything you want, but believing a thing doesn't make it true.

yes aliens do exist

I believe aliens exist. I have had an *encounter* with what I believe was something not of this earth, when I was in my 20's. There was def. an exchange of information between us. It makes me wonder since... just what exactlly is my purpose to them or who am I conntected to (what planet or system other than this one). Why was there a *forcing* of my meeting them? I surely did not plan it nor wish it so. I don't know the answers to those questions, I have, yet. The encounter didn't scare me at all, that's for sure.
