your opinions and why please, I'll find it interesting to see what you think about it. To be honest, my opinion on it is that there is, but i don't think they have ever "invaded" earth, if they have why have they not done it on a large scale? and i don't think they are as evolutionary advanced as human or animal life forms (perhaps bacteria or plant life instead). What's your take?

This has been debated for hundreds of years.The SETI project is doing the same,searching for ET life.There maybe many planets n the Universe who have similar atmosphere to that of the Earth where life may exist in some form or the other.Bu the chances of finding out are very dim as the universe is too vast and such planets are beyond our reach and if there is et life then even they may not know of our existence.Thats why there have been no encounters.The UFO`s that people claim to have seen are just hoaxes or figments of their imagination or natural phenomena.

By the way... i'm wondering WHY NASA search ET life only in planets??? Maybe ET lives deep in the planet - not on the surface and inside the planet .

Of course there is Extra Terrestrial life. But they are not that smart... We're smarter then they are, so they waiting us to find them and discussing : " Do you think there is Extra Terrestrial life out there? "

Is there anybody out there? Yes I truly believe there is, space is infinite, other galaxies, other planets which haven't been chartered or even seen way beyond ours. I don't think we will ever get to meet any aliens not in our lifetime or next millenium, Earth is far too primitive for aliens to visit us. We would probably corrupt them, contaminate them or try to dissect them, we are not a peaceful race, we seek to conquer or destroy what we don't understand or put under our microscopes! I do find space films interesting, we can't be the only race out there!

That is a very interesting question. With the universe so huge, with many many planets, I think that there can be some celestial bodies where some forms of life exist. What forms of life could that be is a big question, of course. But, I think the probability is there.

I think it is quite likely that there is. Just because they have never come to Earth means nothing; after all we have never gone to their planets either. We have have not even made it any farther than the moon as far as a manned trip is concerned and that only on a very limited bases quite some time ago. The distances to other habitable planets are just too far. As much as I would like for faster than light or worm hole travel as depicted in Science Fiction to be possible, as a scientist I have to say that it is probably impossible. So the only way that other life forms could come here, or for us to go there, would be in a many, many generation ship which would present the problems of making it not only self sufficient for sustaining life but in making it durable enough to survive an extremely long trip and having a power source to do it. More and more planets that are in inhabitable zones around their planets are being discovered, mostly by fluctuations in their orbits, but it is unlikely that we will ever be able to tell if they are actually inhabited.

Hi abhislek, As what the Holy Scripture says, and the website where I have gained the knowledge of it, there is what we called E.T. In the Holy Book, they call it alien. They too are the falling Malakim. They are the different creatures (like mermaid, dwarfs, etc.) that cause harm to human being. They said (as what we could see in the movies), they are harmless and weak. Actually, they are not. Aliens are not from outer space. They are just deceiving people. They want us to believe as that. They're here on earth with us. As what they say, they even living as a normal person, with us. Some of them are holding a higher position in the government. They're studying human DNA. How our Almighty YHWH created us they could possibly do this. I am not sure if it is ok to put here the website where you could find a lot of info regarding it.

nope. why, you ask? because of Genesis i:1 "in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth..." i suggest you read the rest of Genesis for your answer.

There are tons of ideas on this topic that have been accumulated through the ages. If I have to be honest, I'd say that I don't know. Everything is possible but today we still don't have real proofs about any extra terrestrial life. This doesn't mean that it doesn't exist but the Universe is too big for us to find it.

I think that there is a real possibility of Extra Terrestrial Life but the answer is I do not know. The universe is so vast and huge that there is possibility that there is life out there besides us. I hope so. Some people believe strongly that there is other life out there. Some claim to have seen creatures (people) from out of space. Others believe very strongly "no". I am on the fence. I do not know. It is said that when we look up at a star, that the light from that star left the star about a million years ago. Is that correct? if so, that boggles my mind. It is a huge universe. Anything is possible.

I take the view that there must be Extra-Terrestrial Life out there simply because of the size of the universe. I'm sure we are not the only living species that exists.

I believe that it is very possible that there is life out there in outer space. But I do not have a strong opinion one way or the other. It is something to think about and wonder about. it makes for a good discussion. Have you ever been to Roswell, New Mexico? There are probably organized groups that discuss Extra-Terrestrial Life both offline and online. 3honor, Are you saying that the light from the sun is already 11 minutes old when we see it? What about the stars at night? I have heard that when we look at a star in the sky at night, the light left the star a million years ago or some other incredible figure. A million may be too high - way too high - but it was some incredible mind blogging number.

I think it's easy to divide people in two groups.Those who believe and those who don't.When we talk about things we can't see, we can only choose to believe it or not.I know that people believe being taken and abducted by aliens and describe it as very painful and traumatic experience.Time will show if it's a science fiction or reality.I only know that many countries collect information about extraterrestrial phenomenon since WWII.

I think there is life on a planet lightyears from earth. Iam thinking it is not a very advanced life form. Only bacteria or maybe more evolved version. I hope we will find any life form her in our universe. It will change our lifes completely.

The Universe is so vast, it would be impossible to say for sure. However , considering how big the Universe is I'd say the odds are very slim that we are the only species out there.
