I believe their is life on other planets and if you believe in this then I am pleased. If you do not believe in this, I would like to ask why.
If you look at in the sky on a clear night, you will see thousands of stars. Each of these stars is a sun in another part of our milky way galaxy. Each of these suns could potentially have many planets orbitting around them. What about the stars in our galaxy that we cannot see? It is likely that these too have planets orbitting around them so it's ignorant to think that we are the only intelligent life in our galaxy. It is said that our galaxy holds 100 billion stars (suns) but what about the millions of galaxies elsewhere? Some larger than our own galaxy, these would hold billions upon billions of stars, with the potential to have trillions of planets orbitting around them. Our we the only life in the universe? Against these odds... I think not.

i belive there is life on other planets as well, if you know your history then you know that stonehenge is made of rocks, but the rocks used there are not from there, they are far to big for any human to carry so something must have moved them there, or in the great pyramids you can see the hieroglyphics which have pictures of spacecrafts on them, also with all the people claiming to have seen ufos or claiming to have been upducted by aliens there ust be at least one of them who is telling the truth. also there is so much that happens on Earth that cannot be explained, somebody somewhere knows how it happens so yes i do believe in life on other planets and i also believe that they are wiser and far more advanced and peaceful than us human beings are!

wow, that is really interesting about the hieroglyphics. i have heard a theory though about humans here not having the tools to build the pyramid. they do have theory's now on how they do it but i also heard that people from other planets came and did it.

Exactly, and those galaxies have billions upon billions of stars each! Imagine how many planets there are in the universe? Trillions.... are we the only life? I doubt it!

i agree with you and beleive, however what i beleive is this people are just like us and not little creatures or green aliens which is the way they are portrayed in movies and what most people picture to be someone from outer space

I believe life is plentifull out there. But I also believe that the chances of encountering it are pretty minimal, given the distances involved. Intelligent civilizations are probobly even more minimal. even a hyper advanced civilazation would struggle to make the trip here. The stars that are near enough to us to have observed planets, have planets that are incapable of supporting life, leaving more distant stars to wonder about. But again, given the size of the universe and tht distances involved, we will probably never encounter thse civilizations.
