Is There Something Out There Or Is Intelligent Life On Earth It? A Poll.

[Ingomike]

I doubt that there are any more advanced beings than we are. Everything was created at the same time be it you believe in the big bang or creation.

Everything in this sector, when might other sectors been a big bang or creation. Could that be where "heaven" is?

Everything may have been created simultaneously during the big bang, but the solar system has only been around for about 4.5 billion years vs. 13.8 billion since the big bang. That gives aliens an extra 9+ billion years to evolve compared to earth life. Any of them that succeeded are likely so far advanced compared to us that we might not even recognize them as life.

I’m curious about this part. What do you mean “we might not even recognize them as life”? Like... a droid or something?

Definitely a lot better than I anticipated. It’s gotten on the subject of religion, but it’s actually more civil than the religion thread and way more civil than any political thread Think ill hang out in here today

There was a time when things religious were verboten in here. Terrible arguments and peoples heads exploding etc. Abortion was even worse. Glad we have not been subjected to that in a good while.

BOR asked Mike (Fenway) if we could once again open the forum up to religious discussions. He was not really wanting to do that. I promised to Moderate it and keep it civil. He accepted under those conditions and man that was far more stressful than the political sub-forum. People loose their freaking minds over this. Many folks were escorted from the playground only to return as a shill and pick right back up where they were booted off.....
After a while it sunk in and a few of the real zealot's were eliminated and it found a smoother path.
This thread is really rolling along nicely.

Maybe to reduce energy consumption they evolved to just consciousness with no physical life form. No need for air, water, food etc...

Something like ingomike mentioned. Non-corporeal entities that may not even interact with light in such a way that we can see them. Or take it a step farther - current theory says that the majority of matter in the universe is “dark matter” which only shows itself via gravitational attraction and is something we can’t detect otherwise. Suppose intelligent beings composed of dark matter exist - would we even be aware of them? Could they be existing alongside us without us being able to detect them? Makes you wonder.

Interesting.

So wouldn’t that almost be along the same lines as a ghost?

Or a "spirit"...

Yes the aliens reached the peek of their intelligence right after their victorian age. Which is why all the ghosts dress in victorian clothing.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

So then I’m assuming you believe in ghosts as well?

I believe in extraterrestrial, but I’m not convinced on ghosts.

You can rent it on Amazon prime for a few bucks.

Lol I will, if I can find it. Finding movies from the 50s 60s and 70s is difficult now days.

Can watch it on the Wayback machine free.

When you read Genesis 1:1 it does not say God created everything in 6 days. Says he created the earth and the universe. That was opening sentence. No where in there was anything about 6 days or if he created life elsewhere in the universe. How many years went by before creating things on the earth? The Bible is basically Earth history not the entire universes history.

The problem with this type of discussion is the assignment of belief to expressed hypothesis. Defined thusly.

"A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon."

I think when God rested on the 7th day leads to the belief he created everything in 6 days.

I’m more interested in the theory of extraterrestrial life being so advanced they could possibly not have physical attributes. I think that’s an awesome subject to try to wrap your head around. I doubt it’s reality, but, not an impossible one.

Aliens may be more like us than we think | University of Oxford

Hollywood films and science fiction literature fuel the belief that aliens are monster-like beings, who are very different to humans. But new research suggests that we could have more in common with our extra-terrestrial neighbours, than initially thought.

I tend to agree if there is intelligent life they will be similar to us. For all we know they may look and be exactly like us.

Do I think we will meet any? No. We will need to travel distances so great that it would require huge generational ships to do so. They would have to be able to produce their own food water etc for thousands of years generation to generation. Even then we may not even come close to finding intelligent beings. Thus imo a waste of time and tax dollars.

I figure with a potentially never ending universe they could potentially be thousands of light years away from a sun... meaning no plant life (as we know it anyway) would be able to grow. Maybe their life forms don’t depend on food or water the way that ours do. Maybe their systems are able to make use of atoms in the atmosphere? I think the possibilities are pretty endless of what “could be” out there, and how they are able to travel between solar systems.

Maybe “time” is only an earthly/human concept.

Like I said, I think the possibilities are endless. I hope eventually we get answers, because there’s so many things we still don’t know or understand it would be nice to someday somehow have an explanation

And they might be looking for the same thing you are and both still lost lol.

Funny to think maybe we are the most advanced life in the universe.


2 minutes of CNN will prove that false tho.

I'm going with 6 minutes, there may be hearing aid or catheter commercials...
