Are we alone in our universe?

Do you feel that humans are alone in this universe we live in or we have neighbors we still have not met? How would you react if you discovered a neighbor of yours turned out to be an alien? How would this affect your belief in God?

My little understanding says that we may have other solar systems that are light-years away from our own which are also made up of micro particles that constitute living forms. It is likely that there is life in other parts of our universe. Somehow, our 'finite' knowledge may seem be limited and a hindrance in knowing the 'truth' about other life forms in these huge galaxies which we are a part.

i went through a bible study before about the possibility of having another Adam and Eve in other solar systems who have not disobeyed God. i was thinking that this could be true since the universe is a vast entity. this belief or theory even made my faith become stronger which really shows that God is a majestic creator.

You are speaking from an intellectual/technical/factual standpoint. But how does your inner gut feel about the subject of their existance? You neglected to relate to the religious implication this would have also. Nevertheless, thank you again for your substantive intput once more.

I think that we are not the only living creatures at the universe and there are others too. And it`s not neccesary they to contact us, but it will be interesting for me if they do it. I am friendly to all creatures, they are wellcomed to join :-) And i am not religious.

I really can't say that we're the only living species in the universe. Since the universe is really big, I think that no human could actually tell if there are no more other living beings or species out there. I definitely be shocked if one of our neighbors in an alien. I'd probably interview him/her and ask tons of questions like are there others like you and where are they and did you come from other planets. Hehe! But I don't think that it would actually affect my belief in God since I don't think that they could also control the afterlife or that they created the universe. My faith in God would still stay despite knowing that aliens are actually real. They might also be just be created by God. I mean, who really knows?

In our area ,the neighbors do not get in touch with each except for occasional passerby smiles. Though not aliens living close to each other , I feel that neighborly relations are of a type of alienation.Not really aliens but being alienated ...societal relationships tend to become like this in the modern world.

This Universe is very very vast as we haven't discovered 0.1% of it yet. With so many voyages sent by US and the snaps coming from them taking so many years to reach us back on this world, so far no life has been found anywhere. After few months NASA releases some notes that they have found something somewhere but show no scientific proof for it. I believe there is no other life anywhere on this whole Universe.

IS that what you feel inside you? I am not asking for factual events or discovering but more of an inner gut feeling. I appreciate your time in sharing your views nevertheless! Cheers!
