Do you think aliens exist?
#17
It seems likely that life would exist beyond our planet, which is but a piece of dust in a sea of stars, given how readily complex molecules form, the unimaginable size of the universe, and so on. As for being visited by aliens, I haven't seen any convencing evidence, and what 'evidence' we do have seems to teach us more about human psychology than anything else. Confused

Quote:I'd like to think that any aliens that possibly exist would be a bit more overt in their attempts at communication than what we've witnessed.
Assuming aliens would even have any reason to make contact with us, or would even know that our planet exists.

Quote:The thing about scientists is that they have no flair for the dramatic. They can imagine all the matter in the universe compressed into a dot smaller than the point of a pin, and then what do they call it? "The Big Bang."

They should call it the Horrendous Space Kablooie.
Well, the phrase "Big Bang" was coined by Fred Hoyle, an opponent to the big bang theory to make fun of it and the name just stuck, but in general, scientists use names that best describe something to avoid confusion. As for having no flair for the dramatic... ever watched Carl Sagan's "Cosmos"? Smiley
