This was a fun thread.
Now that the serious philisophical issues have gone unresolved they should be continued on a different thread if desired by others...

I crossed the border, does that count?
I'm with Seeker on this one, he had a brilliant arguement.
Besides, even if there was such thing as aliens, they would have to be 1,000million LIGHTyears away, at least. That is going at the speed of light, folks. Any being would be crushed going that fast, and dead by the time tthey got to their destination due to age/starvation. You will never see an alien in your life. Besides Brink
Why you believe that any other species have similar body's and needs with us? Age/starvation or else?
Btw Light speed is not the fastest speed.
Scientists found something much faster the last year.
We in Earth we have a very short story,Earth is very "young" though evolution had change us in body and mind,and in some cases we use technology and power beyond any imagination.
Think,in some other much older planet,the evolution!!
Given that the Universe extends in all directions to infinity, and that there are countless billions of galaxys, it stands to reason that somewhere out there is another solar system similar to ours with some form of life or other on one or more of its orbiting planets. In fact, there are probably countless systems that meet the required criteria.
Putting aside what I truly believe for the moment, perhaps it would serve a purpose to ponder the possibility of aliens from the perspective of whether they are close enough to ever travel from a distant home world to this one (or vice versa)? It doesn't really matter how fast the speed of light or any other velocity that might be conceived might be, because the fact that a molecule, or any other sub-particle may be, doesn't mean that any physical creature, human or not, is or will ever be able to travel across the endless miles of space to visit here or there. The only creatures that might be able to do so are spirits, but to go into that would require me to enter forbidden territory. Perhaps this article will help put what I mean into perspective:
Interstellar travel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even if they could travel many times faster that we can or may ever be able to, it would be strange creatures indeed, if they were willing to spend the lifetimes required to visit here for no better reasons than to peak our curiosities. That means that if some type of life does exist out there in some far away solar system, we shall never know and they shall always remain a theory for the academics to employ for the purpose of pumping tax dollars for them to work and live on. Therefore, they are the most expensive parasites that this or any other nation have to support...bar none.
