How many of you think that there is life on other planets.
If you do, say why, and when we will find them.
If not, say why not
Also, this is about beings that have intelligent thought not bacteria or plants but a living breathing being. Plants would not be a bad point of discussion though...
As in all my threads, please, no spamming but be scientific.
I'm fairly certain that life exists on other planets. As Mr. Stephen Hawking put it: "(In the Universe it may be that) Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth."
Apparently, I feel that current research is only looking for evidence of life on the basis many assumptions: 1) Life (like on Earth) can exist only in the presence of an oxygen rich atmosphere with a stable hydrosphere. 2) Alien life is capable of using transmission techniques similar to ours or is using the same EM wave frequencies we use. 3) The EM waves we're broadcasting will be somehow in some manner, be received by sentient lifeforms in some other region of space and 4) Those life forms are capable of communicating (as we do).
Those in my opinion are a lot of assumptions. Due to this we can't ascertain whether other lifeforms may be primitive or have any level of intellect.
If I remember correctly, the Arecibo Telescope had beamed signals into space (in 1974), which comprised of the basic information of the gene structure and the numerals in binary form. Even SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has not been able to establish any concrete evidence on the finding of extra terrestrial life. However, I reckon it was in 1977, Dr. Jerry Ehman had detected the famous Wow! signal, which bore the hallmarks of a potential non-terrestrial origin. Unfortunately, its origins still remain a mystery.
I don't quite suppose we'll receive a reply anytime soon (maybe not even in the next thousand years!). However, I still remain hopeful.
I know i sound crazy but i think there's an alien in my class (0_o)
Ahahaha! Intriguing, mind if I meet this "alien friend" of yours?
I'm sure some are bound to be little green men, but I like to use my imagination for what they might look like. It would take a greater vocabulary than I possess to accurately describe what goes on in there.

People always seem to picture aliens as little green men with antennae, round UFOs, and laser guns...
If you think the way a scientist thinks, you will believe the universe is foverever growing. This would mean that it's like pi,(3.14) it'll go on forever. If every possible digit combination occurs in pi, then why can't the perfect singular condition to harbor life happen on another planet if it is forever growing? why can't the "digit" occur again when the subject is life? I believe we will explore and find other intelligent life somewhere else by.. 2500 or so. (if you also want to look at it from a god-given point of view, reason that it would be arragont to believe we are God's only chosen life in his ultimate universe) no matter how you view it, it adds up to me
It would be rash to say there is not life on other planets.
How could it be, in a completely scientific observation, that one out of an infinitely expanding number of insignificant planets in an ever expanding universe could be the only one with life?
I am absolutely POSITIVE that there is another planet somewhere in the universe with intelligent life. It could be the next solar system over, it could be on the other side of the universe. The fact that our existence alone is on behalf of a random chance, it would be irrational to believe that, that random chance did not occur anywhere else.

The universe is just too large to know.
Actually, I think that any organism would be called life. Haven't we already found micro-organisms on the planet that we discovered have similar traces to ours?
