Do you believe in aliens?

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... :focus:

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!!

Topper is on vacation.
He left the UK last week. They had too much snow.
He was headed for a walk about down under.

So don't be surprised when he shows up knocking at your door wanting to check his email and log in to seven forums.

Without going into detail, I will say that the logic behind this concept falls apart at multiple points. However, those that tenaciously adhere to this concept, shrug off those gaps either by believing that they don't exist, or that they will be filled by some future knowledge or theory. I believe the reason for this is that if they did see the faults, that it would require them to look to different ideas that they either reject or are uncomfortable with.

Pot, meet kettle.

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.
