Well i believe they exist. if by "Aliens" you're talking about any kind of living organism that is not from this planet, then yes. I mean there are billions and billions and billions of stars out there and many many planets, solar systems and galaxies. How is it, that Earth, is the ONLY planet in this universe, to host living organisms? I guess it doesn't HAVE to be human or anything Human. What if it's like Mass Effect, or Star wars where there are loads of other species?

I mean come on! Think about it. Sure the chances MAY be quite low due to mass amount of stars.

Frank Drake composed an equation which supposedly estimates the number of extra terrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy itself [(100,000-120,000 light-years). Just one galaxy in a universe that's about 3 billion light years big – or 28 billion parsec.]

The drake equation nowadays shows 2.31 civilizations.

Sure that may not seem like a lot, but there's still a chance.

In the whole of the Universe, surely there would be something out there! There are billions of solar systems, and so many that we can't even comprehend what could be out there. Even if the chance of a planet creating life, such as on Earth, is 1 in a billion, then there could still be hundreds of planets out there with new civilisations. There's no knowing whether there are definitely aliens out there, or how advanced they are compared to us, but the chances that there is some other intelligent life out there is too high to deny.

Side: yes

Given the vast space of universe with billions of galaxies and trillions of planets, the possibility is increasing, so I would say that I believe.

Side: yes

The Universe is too vast for us to be the only life. As to intelligent life I cannot be sure, but I'm convinced at least microbial life exists elsewhere.

Side: yes

It's really lonely and sad if you think about how huge the universe is and think we're the only living organisms.

I don't know if aliens will be as advanced as we like, or possibly more advanced than we imagined. I don't know if they created us or if we were all created by something else. But I am fairly certain they exist. The universe is too big for us to be alone, and it's ignorant to think that we could be alone.

Side: yes

For a start you really need to think about what we don't know, i.e. What is beyond our universe and also what is in it that we do not know about, of the amount we do not know about there must be even a miniscule chance we are not alone? No I can't prove it, neither can anyone else, but the universe is categorically to large to deny there being other life.

Side: yes

Yeah, as nearly everyone over here has stated the sheer size of the cosmos makes it nearly impossible there would not randomly be other life on other planets somewhere.

Only adding my argument because some of the numbers I've seen are gross underestimates of the numbers involved.

Apx. number of stars: 10^22 - 10^24 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 give or take a zero.

By comparison there are a mere estimated 10^19 grains of sand on all of earth.

It's a truly comically ridiculously large number. It would be nearly impossible for there not to be more life somewhere given what we know about the different ways life can begin.

Side: yes

Have you looked at your neighbors and others among us? Body piercing, tattoos, spiked hair, pink hair, etc. and you have to ask.

Side: yes

really so i need to say anything, I mean there is no way that we EARTH are the only things ever. All of that space, no I just can't think of us being the only ones to exist. If they didn't why would there be a area 51 and just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Side: yes

If there's us, why not them. Surely god wouldn't have created only ONE kind of being.

Side: Yes

Aliens would have introduced themselves to Earth by now. Aliens do not exist.

Side: No

No sorry I don't. The whole idea seems really silly to me. All the signs that they exist must have an explanation, and one of these days people will find out the real truth. However I do believe in ghosts but I don't think that counts. :P

Side: No

As of now, there is absolutely no evidence of ANY type of life on any other planet.

Whenever someone gets all excited about some new information, it tends to be just speculation.

Do I believe in the possibility? Sure.

But do I actually believe in aliens? No.

I don't really believe in aliens.

There is a difference between belief and knowledge. You don't believe in aliens or you know that there aren't aliens? Which is it?

They never existed.

You have not a shred of evidence to back your claim.

They are no life on other planets

Passing over the gross grammatical error, you still have not provided evidence for your claim.

we are the only species that are living besides animals

We are animals. We are a species in the animal kingdom called Homo sapiens.

I apologize. I didn't see your comment when I disputed his (ours are almost identical).

It seems he has forgotten 5 kingdoms...

At least provide a reason as to why you believe this.

Also, we ARE animals, every single breathing, living thing on this planet (and others probably) are animals.
