How many of you believe in alien life?

Paul Watt wrote: Whats natural law? How do you see evolution as illogical? Things naturally tend from order to chaos without outside influence. They do not tend from chaos to order. That's what I meant by natural law. However, it's far from the only reason that evolution is more religion than science. Paul Watt wrote: What about life on other moons Like I said, if they find it, I will believe it. I have no religious problem with life, if they find it. I just have no belief in a system of accidental life, which does not make the number of planets out there a reason for me to believe in alien life without proof.

Christian Graus wrote: Things naturally tend from order to chaos without outside influence. They do not tend from chaos to order. I won't pretend I understand physics very well but I think that while a system as a whole does move from order to chaos on its own, there may be a movement from chaos to order in some small "pockets" or "regions". But overall, the chaos, or entropy, tends to increase. The only reason that chaos increases is that it is statistically and probablistically (does such a word exist?) more likely to happen than atoms/elements of the system aligning themselves in perfect order. There are very few "well ordered" states, while the number of chaotic states is infinite. So statistically speaking, it is more likely for a system to end up in a more chaotic state. But this doesn't mean that it is completely unlikely, or impossible, for order to prevail, at least in small pockets. Maybe someone who understand physics will tell me if I am right or wrong? But if what I said above is right, you cannot dismiss evolution or "accidental life" just on the basis of this reason. You may have other reasons though, and I'm curious to hear about those. Christian Graus wrote: if they find it, I will believe it. :laugh: No offence, but you will have to believe it if they find it. Religion or no religion. But anyway, as you or someone else said elsewhere, religion does not confirm nor deny life on other planets. Perhaps because it was inconcievable for the authors of the religious books. Please note that I'm not talking about any particular religion, so don't get offended.

There's probably another version of you typing this into another version of CP somewhere a couple of billion light years away. The numbers add up so I would say it is definitely a possibility. The sheer size of the universe is so mind-boggling to me that I almost can't cope with it. Especially since we have a top speed of 3x10^8 m/s and that just doesn't get you anywhere fast in this universe. I am confused, has britney spears submitted a recent paper on cosmology? ;) Ad.

There are billions and billions of stars stars in our galaxy and there are billions of galaxies like ours out there.

I think that it's highly probable that an infinite number of monkey-like beings using an infinite number of keyboard-like tools in a parallel universe might closely resemble our Nish, but it's doubtful that they could match his post count on their CP-like forum.

It is a possibility that alien life exists, but it is also possible that for some reason it does not. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

David Wulff wrote: Thinking about it, religious folk always say God was not created on this world, so wouldn't that make it an alien? Because if he's tangible, like an alien, it means God isn't as great as pictured. And if you believe for a second that God isn't as great as the holy book tells you, you risk having your name removed from the book of life! Which means where you're going, you'll need a very good fire repellant. That's why a true Christian won't accept that God is an alien. God is the biggest thing there is. He surrounds everything, there is nothing beyond him. You can't say he's there nor here, because he's everywhere. At least that's what I've gathered from what I've heard and read. Do I believe it? No. Can argue about it and win? No. Because you see, if God is all that, and you believe in it, there is nothing that can affect your belief. So by the logic of Christianity, you can derive that God is not an alien. So, to answer your question; He can't be an alien. :) -- Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld

God could send angels or carry on a conversation. I can prove my existence to you by writing this email, but God has millions of ways to prove his existence that would be even more concrete than my own proof of existence to you. Proving the non-existence of God, however, is next to impossible. For one thing, a disinterested God behaves pretty much the same as a non-existent God. ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

Nishant S wrote: And kindly dont mention religion, god and brit spears. I won't mention the singer, so I have actually fulfilled this request. Evolution is unproved, illogical, and in violation of natural law. ( There's a statement to get my post count back up ) I believe that the only way for anything to exist is that something greater makes it. The need for a Creator makes the size of space irrelevant, and gives me no reason to believe in alien life. If it exists, fine, that will not change my views on God, but I simply don't believe in life on other planets, or the face of Elvis on the surface of Mars, or any similar theories.
