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

[NKBJ]

Because of my experiences and the experiences of some people that I know extremely well I'm sold on the reality of disembodied spirits able to manifest sufficiently to interact with us here. But I'm not at all sold on there being interplanetary space aliens.

Thanks for the education.
I've read the bible. I didn't commit it all to memory.

It's certainly an interesting concept.

The Ethopian Bible has, I believe 14 books King James left out of what Most Christians define as "The Bible". I need to read them first hand...

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

In school they taught big bang as what brought the entire universe not just our solar system or galaxy. Big bang theory is about when the entire universe came into being. Thus I highly doubt if there are intelligent beings in the universe they are not much more advanced than we. For all you know most might have killed each other off completely through war.

And for all we know they have advanced at a higher rate than we have.

The only thing we can go by is our own planet. Can't go forward with imagination only.

True, but, there's always a but.
Haven't some humans advanced more than others? Could it not be the same with species from another planet?
They are equally likely to have killed each other off as they are to be more advanced than us

A quick point, I'm an old guy, what they taught in science class in my day is way outdated, though it was the best they knew at that time.

The number of planets in the "goldilocks" zone is now in the billions...

Probably a low estimate, see below:

October 29, 2020, Mountain View, CA – Thanks to new research using data from the Kepler space telescope, it’s estimated that there could be as many as 300 million potentially habitable planets in our galaxy. Some could even be pretty close, with several likely within 30 light-years of our Sun. The findings will be published in The Astronomical Journal, and research was a collaboration of scientists from NASA, the SETI Institute, and other organizations worldwide.

Today, the observable universe is estimated to contain more than two trillion galaxies, an increase from the previously-believed 200 billion thought to exist based on images from the mid-1990s data reported from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, which had revealed a host of faint galaxies. The change in number is based on data studied by a team at the University of Nottingham, in the United Kingdom, which discovered there were likely ten times more galaxies in the early universe than exist now. Many of these were small and dim, and were absorbed into larger nearby galaxies.

So to get a current estimate, multiply 300 billion (using our galaxy as typical) x 2 trillion galaxies. Obviously a guess, but there’s not much else to go on. And that’s just the observable universe. There’s some thought that we can only see a tiny fraction of the entire universe. Hard to imagine there’s no other advanced civilizations in all that, even if a lot of them have gone extinct.

I highly doubt mankind will encounter and have historically documented meetings with aliens outside our solar system. The distances are so great and space travel so slow its just not going to happen anytime soon.

Heck we can't even get a man to the deepest part of the ocean yet. And we want to go to Mars and set up a colony.

That is a lot of opportunities for life to exist...

Isn't that kind of like saying in 1890 that with horse travel it would be impossible to get from NYC to LA in a few hours? With no acknowledgement that our science has only scratched the surface?

I already committed on our science. The world will all soon be socialist/communist government wise and all they do is dumb down the population. I don't see science going forward if there is global socialist/communist style government over the human race. Fox News has an article about how Illinois is going to dumb down education, also seen here and in news that mathematics is racist and needs dumb down so certain race can keep up with several other races. Socialist utopia is an ignorant population not an intelligent population.

That’s assuming we are the ones that travel to them. What if they travel to us

 

[NKBJ]

Heh, the fascists were trying to create their ubermenschen and their neighbors were trying to breed with chimpanzees to create the perfect soviet man to swing those hammers and sickles. Now the corporatists are wetting their britches over transhumanism and having your brains cook-booked with windows. I don't know about you guys but to me it looks like the same old stuff. And now that I think about it, yeah sure the hybridization program is nothing new because evil orifices always want to mess with people. It's what they do. It's why they're called evil.

Bingo.

They would have to be at least 10,000+ years older than us. With said generational ships to get here. I really doubt other beings are much more advanced than we are because of the time it takes to develop the intelligence and ability to travel space. We are a long way off from being able to build a generational ship that is self sustainable for thousands of generations.

We should not limit science. We already know of the existence of black holes and there may be other vectors we cannot even understand.

They already have and do.

I also think that humans will develop time travel and will be able to go back in time (and do).

We know so little, nearly next to nothing, about time. Could be incredible surprises there.

The Bible speaks of eternity we have no idea what that really means, just the interpretation of fellow humans...
