The subject line basically says it. Do you think we're alone in the universe? Like many people, it's something I've always wondered about.
If extraterrestrials have been here, sometimes I'm not sure why some of them wouldn't want to make themselves widely known to us. But at the
same time, I can see why they might want to stay hidden from us.
I absolutely think there is life outside of our planet. Its almost mathematically impossible for there not to be, given the nearly infinite size of the universe and the number of planets we've already found that have life-sustaining properties (there are several in just our own solar system).
Thats only life as *we* know it, and we don't know much about anything yet.
Okay, this will be possibly long I hope some will read it! :)
The reason I don't buy into UFOs (besides most of them being obvious scams) is that any civilization that is *that* advanced will probably have little interest in us. Its arrogant of us to think of ourselves as intelligent or even significant in the scope of the entire Universe. We're the equivalent of "ants" in comparison to an advanced civilization. And we're not ready...
Just like we don't want nukes in the hands of North Korea, aliens don't want their technology in the hands of a low class species who've chosen to divide themselves rather than embrace and conquer the unknown. Nor do they want to influence the "sink or swim" aspect of a species' survival.
Only when we prove we can overcome challenges and evolve into a species that is capable of inhabiting the space of our own Galaxy will we be
ready and worthy of contact from a more advanced civilization. Until
then we're off their radar.

bravo! You just put into words everything I've been saying/thinking for years.

selfishness. We just need to collectively get our shit together.

Well said, I totally agree. The one point I would add is that we need to evolve as a species *regardless* of what may or may not be out there. It frustrates me that, looking at our history of science, philosophy, art, technology, it's obvious that we're capable of so much more than all of the time and energy we waste on self-destructive, petty conflict and selfishness. We just need to collectively get our shit together.

I have my shit together - Everyone follow me!

I do not believe there are flesh and blood aliens but demonic manifestations.If the conditions are right.. seems like even then the conditions have to line up perfectly for intelligent life to come forth. Given the apparent chaotic universe, then every planet that has intelligent life must be very *to infinity* lucky.
I just think that if life developed on our planet, I think it's
certainly possible that flesh-and-blood life could have developed on
other planets, if the conditions are right..

Diseases? Well, yeah, I suppose a life form that hasn't been exposed to our
viruses and bacteria might be more susceptible to the diseases on this planet..
I've heard astronomers keep finding more and more planets in the habitable zone around their suns.. But yeah, there's certainly more than that~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
needed for life to develop - but what actually sparks life, I think, is
still somewhat unknown.
Although a few planets in our solar system have some life-sustaining properties, it might still be difficult to sustain life on them. It
I was thinking more along the lines of some of the moons like Enceladus, Titan, Europa, as far as our solar system goes. But we're just one solar system of almost an infinite number!
I've heard some of the moons in our solar system might support life. And I agree, we're just one solar system of many. Astronomers keep discovering more
and more planets and solar systems, so it seems we're getting closer all the time to potentially confirming there is extraterrestrial life.
