Do you believe the existence of Aliens in other planets?

That's an easy question because The Creator tells us all about it. Genesis 1 mentions everything God created, including the heavens. There is no mention of Him putting life up there. Man was created to rule over the earth (Gen 1:26) and was created in the likeness of God (Gen 1:27). Then why are the stars there, you may ask? Gen 1:14-18 "'...to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth'; and it was so. And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good." So the stars are there for us! A good answer is also given here: UFOs and aliens—is there something going on?[^] Barry Etter

This is my theory: Aliens exist but they can't get here because the universe is stupidly large and the speed of light isn't up to the task or traversing even a small fraction of it. A lot of people go for the, "if they exist why aren't they here" theory to rule Aliens out. But if we assume for a second that Einstein was right and you can't ever exceed the speed of light (or in fact ever reach it) then this could provide an answer - It would take so long so why bother: by the time you get there odds are the civilisation has collapsed; assuming there's anything left at all.

I don't believe that lightspeed is the maximum, but even if you can reach factor 1000, you may need 1.5 million years to reach the earth (depending on the point you start at). And why should alien come to this little world full of idiots, war and stupidity? If they are intelligent, they will build a highway and bomb the earth away for it. If they are not - well there might be one or more of them in the soapbox. Greetings, Ingo ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right.

I mean just look at the sky, how many stars are there! There gotta be some other civilizations exist out there. If they do exist, who created them? Did the GOD who created the Earth also created them? What kind of cars do they drive, do they also have computers and internet too? What do they look like, do they look like us? Are they smarter than us? Think about it, it's kind of interesting.

Well the universe has been around for almost 12 billion years and we have been here for just a few thousand years and we will most probably be extinct in a few more thousand years. so our birth and death is like a water bubble burst when we compare it to the time frame of universe. So the probability that these types of two bubbles will coexist at the same time (meaning we and another intelligent civilization) is very low and even if they do coexists, the probability that they will ever meet is even lower. and more over from what we have explored so far ... doesn't look too good :-D (So looks like we are precious :-D)

No, I'm not. I am trying to demonstrate that complex systems can be constructed from limited ingredients (limited in type, not quantity).

Not so. It has been proven that Conway's game of life is a universal turing machine: It can do whatever a computer can. Steve
Stephen Hewitt wrote:

Maybe so, but the simplest living thing displays far more subtlety and complexity than a computer so I maintain that the game of life is nowhere near complex enough to produce life. I agree 100% that complex systems can be built up from simple components, but life doesn't really use binary, it uses a wide range of complex and subtle interactions that require a wide range of chemicals, and the wider the range of available chemicals, the more opportunities there will be to make successful life. Life would not arise on a planet where there was only Silicon and Arsenic, however they were combined. Steve.

Well 8 (or 9 if you count Pluto) planets and some moons. There are millions of solar systems just in our galaxy - and there are million of galaxies with million of solar systems. I think you must visit a million planets before you can have a funded prognosis - so we have to wait two or three more years, before we can answer the question. ;) ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right.

Looking at the fine balance of the universe, my latest thoughts are along the same lines. If one believes in intelligent design, then everything must be there for a reason. I mean, if God programmed our DNA in C++, then surley he has mastered code reuse and optimized his design. My thoughts are that if anything were out of place, then Earth wouldn't be able to maintain it's current balance. ~Nitron.

The understanding that we (humans and Earth) are special, despite what we're told by secular scientists, is not narcissistic. I didn't say the stars are here for me.

You set up a straw man, which is a logical flaw. However, there are many facts that support the Anthropic Principle, which supports the fact that we are, in fact, special. Barry Etter
