Do Aliens Exist?
Has the government been covering up knowledge of their existence?
What do aliens look like?
Are we aliens from outer space?
Is this the matrix?

aliens are perhaps one of the many oddities of our universe. after all, what stops evolution (i cant tell if i'm a elvolutionary creationist, as in i believe god or some other being of higher intelligence"created" creatures, but gave them the ability to evolve to suit their needs..... over years) from occuring on other planets. Now, life as we know is sustained by h2o, or hydrogen monoxide (aka water), that is what gives life on earth. from what i know, all elements are universal throughout the galaxy (however i assume there are other elements as well). from sattellite photos i looked at of mars, there appears to be trenches from erosion made by water. water... is life (as we know). but there is little knowledge of how long there was water. however, though, if there are aliens, they may just be simple asexual bacteria (if they live on any other planet) |

100% sure there are aliens, there is even proof, but of course they are bacteria. But the aliens you guys are thinking of....there is a huge possibility.
Think about it, there are sooooooo many stars, like billions and billions and billions. Don't you think at least one other star would have a planet in the habitual zone in orbiting and have water? |

Aliens as in creatures of other planets?
then no, I'm sure if they were we would be seeing them flying across new your city and other places where it's highly visible for at least 1000 people are able to record a good quality video of them .
not some phony, cheap camera, shaking pretending a flying saucer is flying across the sky.

actually the bacteria could be the start of alien life(not trying to cuase a religion vs science war) but we started out as bacteria what says that the alien life has to be more evolved then us

Ok, first off I think it greatly depends on how you define an alien life form. To me, that could mean something as small as a bacteria but to most it means something like little green men. When we look at the requirements for life as we know it it becomes increasingly apparent that the amount of planets that are able to sustain life will be incredibly minuscule. One major nutrient that is required by all life as we know it is water, the reason that scientists are trying so hard to find water on Mars. There are however many more factors that play into whether or not a planet can sustain life such optimal proximity to a star, temperature ranges on the planet etc etc. Hundreds if not thousands of planets have been found and so far not many if any have been reported to be able to support life. However this to me means that just because we haven't yet found a "privileged planet" doesn't mean they don't exist in the universe. There are billions of galaxies each with billions of stars with satellite planets on most and honestly I think it would be naive to completely exclude the idea that there could be life on one of them.
We also have in our minds a set of criteria that we think are completely necessary for life, but what if our definition of life is wrong? I mean there could have evolved on another planet life that is capable of breathing hydrogen gas instead of the oxygen nitrogen mix we enjoy. Just because life evolved the way it did on Earth doesn't mean it had to be the same on another planet.

Absolutely yes.
Absolutely not. The government got mercenary scientists to cover it up so there was less of a link when they faked the moon landings and organised 9/11.
Either similar because conditions needed for life are universal or very different because they live in different ways and environments.
No. Now you're just being silly.
Yes.

My geology professor explained that life's basic unit is an amino acid. Amino acids are found in meteors. There is a life theory that meteors from outta this world came into earths atmosphere, sunk to the bottom of the seas, where oxygen rich steam seeped through the tectonic rifts, creating the perfect environment for making life outta those amino acids.
If that IS the case - then we did come from outta space!

It is possible that there is life elsewhere in the universe, but I don't think we can be 100% sure until we've experienced it, although that's probably just a mathematician's point of view.
If there is life, I doubt that is will share much resemblance with what we would classify as living organisms, especially the complex structure that makes us up.
While it is true that the amino acids which form proteins are vitally important in life on Earth, there's no evidence to suggest that other life forms would have the same "basic unit of life".
In fact, other life forms might vary so greatly to our own that we don't recognise them as 'living'. They might not demonstrate the characteristics that we (with a mnemonic from a young age in the UK at least) associate with all life on Earth, namely Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition. They might be alive, or intelligent in a sense that we cannot comprehend, but that's a different question.
Space is relative, we can't qualify outer from inner. Besides, the whole universe started from an infinitesimally small point of incomprehensibly large mass, so the question of where things originated is trivial.
It would be all over Wikileaks if the government knew there were aliens.
If there is life out there, in this massive universe, and that's a reasonable 'if', I doubt that our paths will cross.

Ninja makes one huge excellent point I agree to death, that our paths will never cross, what are the chances? |

There is simply too many other planets for their not to be I mean it may be a one in a million chance to get in the habitual zone with a large planet to block meteors a moon that can stop whatever else flies by but it is an ever expanding universe maybe not to the extent that we have began to think of aliens as but definitely to an extent of living moving creatures
