Oh there is proof for this, every abused child

Oh yeah. That is just a known fact.

I think this poster is right :)

It would be the height of human conceit to think that we're the only ones in such a vast universe.

I'm still looking for intelligent life here on earth. Aaah! Got 'em!

Still waiting to find intelligence on Earth

That and the fact that what we now witness as the universe has been in progress for billions and billions of years. How many countless civilizations, life forms, planets and even entire solar systems have since come and gone, come and gone, come and gone as we one day will? Our solar system lies at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, so we are relatively the new kids on the block, so to speak. Think about the vastness of time as well as the vastness of the universe.

Latest estimate is two trillion galaxies. Each galaxy having trillions of planets. If one civilization were to evolve out of every million galaxies just once we would still not be alone. The odds of being alone are something on par with winning the lottery a thousand times.

Either we're alone in the universe or we aren't. Neither is a particularly comforting

Well duh. I don't understand people who don't believe in aliens, maybe not aliens like the ones in the picture, with the big head and giant pointed black eyes, but alien means life from another planet, not just the stereotypical alien. I can 100% guarantee there is at least some other life in the universe.

Probability that there is intelligent life somewhere else: Pretty damn high. Probability of them existing at the same time and close enough to learn about the others' existence: Miniscule.

Yes! Friends/family always look at me like I am mad when I say I believe there must be some sort of other life out there. It just seems hugely arrogant to me to believe that there is nothing out there besides us.

If there is no life out there in the vastness of the Universe then it's an awful waste of space.

There is substantial evidence we have indeed encountered them, they have been here a long time, before us probably

Makes sense.

I welcome our new Extra Terrestrial overlords! Unless they're like Roger from American Dad. Please don't let them be like Roger!

I agree with this but I think it's very arrogant to assume that other forms of life will be humanoid.

Exactly! Why should our planet be the only one with humanoid life forms? Or life forms at all. It does not make sense.

I’ve always had the same philosophy on this younger, if we exist, there’s others out there too

I'm still waiting for evidence of widespread intelligent life on this planet, much less others.

There is intelligent life out there. They pass by Earth and tell their offspring that Earthlings are a perfect example of what not to do. Plunder and rape the planet, indeed.

just because something could be, or might be doesn't mean it is. The time to believe something, is when there is evidence for it, not because it sounds good. Nothign wrong with saying, that's an interesting idea, i like it, it might be the case, but that is NOT the same thing as evidence.

Couldn’t agree more. We are vain to believe the Earth is unique.

I believe other life forms exist but don’t want to interact with human beings. Or I watch too much Ancient aliens.

We are not evolved enough emotionally to risk contacting...

I believe that theres other life out there, atleast bacterias and organisms. But I dont think they would be the same as us in any way, we wont be able to collect DNA or other things that we can from humans. But I also believe that we shouldnt look for it or try to get it to come here. We have no idea what dangers we might bring here.

"Contact"

There is an interesting theory that humans are originally not from the earth.

trouble is that they're rarely carbon-based.

Right on. I totally agree. There be probably super smart beings and those with simple lives like bacteria.

Actually, Aliens Might Be Real!

...but they are likely bacterial to stone age organisms.

Some people just want humans to be the dominant species, a stage of grief. DENIAL.

Spoiler alert! There's none.

I think it the height of human conceit to assume that there must be other intelligent life in the universe. It's also a cowardly stance.

I agree with this to a point. We allow politicians who like to boast about how they did poorly in school, were the class clowns, etc dictate what should be taught in school. If you're the rich people who want to keep good education out of reach for the poorer people the best way to do that is to vilify public schools and demand more 'rigorous' testing policies that have little to do with actual student progress. This way the public schools have to spend more time testing than they do teaching so that the poor students get less education than the kids whose parents can afford private schools who aren't subject to those required tests. It's funny how politicians constantly point to public schools' failing standardized test scores, and tout private schools as the answer, yet never talk about how those private schools don't have to offer Special Education, take standardized tests, or even follow the mandated common core standards.

I'm not sure if i want to return really really back when you could die only from cutting your finger.... but I'm nostalgic about the 90's as many are!

The Flat Earth Society is trolls. They HAVE however gotten OTHERS to believe them.

i'm pretty sure big rig truckers talk on their CB radios to each other to coordinate making sure every time I merge onto an interstate one of them will be there in the right lane just as I am merging on.
