I think not. There are lots of unexplored parts of the universe. There is also according to religion supernatural dimensions where God, angels, spirits or demons live which is called heaven, purgatory or hell, etc. So I believe in spirits and the holy spirit or even aliens which may really exist according to news that says they have evidences of their existence. Aliens, UFO, Miracles or possesions, etc.- there are all news about this issues which made me think about it twice. There is a possibility that this is all true (75%) because people always says they have evidences and not true (25%) because I myself don't encounter this things ( to see is to believe). But I am from a religious family so I believe in God, the holy spirit and his angels.

First of all let me clear you that God only created earth as mentioned in the bible and the heavens non other place. So earth is the only planet that exists but well there are no evidences that there are other living beings other than ourselves in the universe. Well some might say that aliens exist but there is no single proof about it. IN my opinion we are alone and yes hell is not mentioned to be created in the bible at all so the only places where living things exists are earth and the heaven.

We know lot about the Universe with the help of sciences and technology. But we know nothing or we know very little about the un seen worlds around us or in the skies. Our knowlege could not cross the limits of this gigantic univese. So we say that the Universe is infinit. Our brain has limited authority to find some thing. we found much about unseen world by our experience. Dreams and unblievable events of life prove that there is much beyond our thinking. so we should not say that every thinking is pefact.

If you mean other humans, I think we might be, for us to become what we are took very special conditions. If you mean other comparable or even superior life forms
I think it's impossible with all that is available that we are alone or even near the top of the line in development. I certainly hope we aren't

I use to think there was no way there were other intelligent beings on other planets out there in the far expanses of space because if there were, wouldn't Jesus Christ have to go there, too, and teach them about the kingdom of God and wouldn't He have to give His life for them, too? But then I thought, what if those beings didn't have to deal with Satan or be tempted by him? If they never sinned, they wouldn't need a Savior. Bottom line - I just don't know.

I found that the URANTIA BOOK has an incredible amount of information about this very subject. You will be amazed at the depth of the writing.

Yes there are lots of unexplored parts of the universe.Either you have to believe in science or relegion.If you believe in relegion you have to accept every thing blindly those are written in the religious books.But if you belive in science there are no place of blindness.Every thing of science estublished on reason.Science says there are many thinge unexplored in the universe ,not the religions.There are nothing undiscovered in the relegions.Sciense discovered many things and continues the process of discovering.Religions are blind.But science is not blind.

There is God, angels, and demons, as for weird creatures with large black saucer like eyes, we have no idea whether these are intelligent beings or non-intelligent beings who have been taken over by demons. We also have no idea whether demons or angels have transported people from Earth to the other planets, etc. I tend to believe that there may be humanoids on other worlds, but they might be those that were transported. I am more skeptical believing in intelligent beings of human origin and if there are beings of human origin on other worlds, if they were transported by demons then God in HIS mercy would make sure we never meet them.

There are so many things that come up in various cultures that just can't be explained, yet they recur in other cultures. Dragons are an easy example. They are part of the folklore of almost every culture, yet there is no evidence they ever existed in reality. As easily as any other explanation would be a visit from another planet or galaxy. There are many other examples of things that are just too coincidental.
In addition, there have been "sightings" throughout history, in every corner of the globe. It just doesn't seem likely these could all be unrelated.
To think we're alone would be rather arrogant.

I also believe in God, the holy spirit and his angels. I also believe in the spirit world, in that people have to go somewhere when they die. They don't automatically get wiped out of existence. I believe that our loved ones who have passed on in life become the guardian angels for those loved ones they left behind. It's as if a part of the deceased loved ones remains behind with the living. I find that they are a source of comfort during the difficult times in life. I also strongly believe that there is Heaven.

I too believe in god and what the bible says, But at the same time, I do believe in life on other planets. We know that there at least a couple of other galaxies other than the milky way. However we have not been able to go to these galaxies. yes we have the technology to do so, I think though we say we are not, that we are too scared to venture that far and find out. The bible does say that god created the heavens and the earth with no mention of anything else, but if one god can do all of this and so much more, who is to say that he did not make neighbors for us in another galaxy.

If you think about it. The sun is a star with it's own planets revolving around it, correct? There are infinite stars out there. Who knows? There are probably planets revolving around every one of those stars with planets just like ours? We can't and probably never will know. I, personally, would love to know there is
another planet or 10 just like the lovely one we inhabit. I'm not a Christian but
I still believe there is a God, or Buddha or Aalah with his or her own special
helpers. I do believe in angels.
Here's something else for you to ponder, you feel the wind, you can't see it but you know it's there, right? Just like air, you can't see that but you know it's there. Seeing may be believing and, I have to say, have you ever seen God? He's just like the wind and the air. Can't see him but we know, or like to think we know, he's there.

We must be realy lucky if we're alone in the universe. Universe is huge and we know only a small part of the all world. We can't tell exacly that we are alone or not, but I think that we have a "inteligent friends" in the universe.

I have always thought that above the clouds there are a BUNCH of people in halo's having a BIG party up there!!
Guess I've watched too much fantasy movies, but I still think there is life beyond earth.
Maybe Even Me -.- ( Joke I'm not an alien )

At present, the speed of light seems to be the limiting factor for humans to travel and be able to receive signals from far off galaxies and stellar systems. The improbably high Tau would result in the complete destruction of the universe as we know it say some scientists if we could even approach light speeds.
Within the present limitation of human knowledge about the laws of nature, I think it may not be possible for humans to reach an inhabited planet even if one were around within a radius of 100 light years, within a single lifetime, and hence continuity of contact, and knowledge of the situation at the mother planet and the target planet where a human space could be traveling would be lacking.
As far as God is concerned, I too believe that there is a creator - by convention I will use the male gender for him and call him God. But I beg to disagree with all religions-they tend to bind God within human attributes and limitations. Why should we be in his image? Why should the entire cosmos revolve around a single species (human) on an obscure planet that revolves around a plain and common star which itself is a moving in one of the arms of an unremarkable middle sized galaxy?
I think that there are a lot of other intelligences within this cosmos and other cosmos like this one. Some species may be far ahead of us in knowledge and intelligence, other may have to catch up with us as yet.

Maybe and maybe not, i didnt get a chance to have a close encounter with these supernatural or alien characters. But my mom told me that base in our Holy Book (Koran) we are not really alone in this world.

Hii
I think we r not alone,.......there are rumours (i fear relity) that the American astronaughts found some footprints on the moon surface whom they never had seen before and had to call off their lunar mission early on. Some scientists have seen some strange creatures in Himalayan area which was white n bright earlier then when it pnicked its colur changed and it flew away from above their camps. Every now and then we come across news about UFOs seen. Some scientists had given up their plans of making research in this area just because of the reason "they feared some responses from the unreachable worlds were recieved ....................this all suggests that there is life beyond earth
This universe is such large, vast and complex that the human being may i fear never develop enough to reach out to those inaccessible areas

Different religions and beliefs have different answers for that.
In Buddhism itself, it is interesting to know that in one of the suttas, it is briefly mentioned that we're not the only people on this universe. I like that!! I hope one day in the future, we can befriend our new alien friends!! :D How nice would that be??
I'd like to try some alien pies. Yummies!!
