There has to be life outside of our universe. There is an incredible number of planets and stars and galaxies beyond our own;a number far beyond human comprehension. Our evolution is imperfect and flawed, yet we have still become the most powerful and intelligent species within millions and millions of miles. Conditions like ours that can support life could very easily arise somewhere else in the universe. THere has been such a wide window of time, and so much space for it to happen, that it is inevitable that there is life somewhere else in the universe. If we can exist, why should we be the only ones?

There are many planets , with supstences of H2o *Water* on them . Where there is water there can be life. Since the earliest hominid species diverged from the ancestor we share with modern African apes, 5 to 8 million years ago, there have been at least a dozen different species of these humanlike creatures. Many of these hominid species are close relatives, but not human ancestors. But it only takes one to evolve creating a sucsessful species, just takes two animals with good offspring to create a more human like spcies.
Most scientist say that Earth started out as a *star* that was mostly mad out of valcanos, and that many meteors hit earth making its huge trenches within our ocean. But after all of the meteors hit earth , it started to rain , for Billions of years, Then formed an Ice age ... Which soon after melted making land and our oceans . And within our oceans life began...

But of course *humans were first evolved by creatures that lived in water . All there has to be within that water is bacteria, which could form into something over time. Then create a Ape like animal , *Which is a close ancestor to hominids*.


Well the point of planet earths history is , it could have happend some where else , within our Solar System or not. Maybe billions of light years away.


If you have any thing you would like to say just post on this fourm . Im going to keep this on my page. Hope it gets somewhere.

Enjoy!!

honestly i believe in aliens but im not really SURE it exists. i think that there is an infinity amount of stars and that the chance of at least one planet to have life on it is bigger then ALL of them to be dead. also, earth is a planet that we live on because our bodies are meant to exist in this place. aliens that exist on other planets probably have different bodies and dont need air/water and do need some things that might be toxic to us.

i think there is an infinite amount of posibilites so my answer to "do you believe in aliens" always is: "why not? :P"

I don't have an opinion on this, I find it reasonable if there were other lifeforms in the Universe, and it makes sense, but it hasn't been proven so you know what I'm gonna say?
Let's find out.

First step: Europa.
Giant iceball, but there may be water underneath.
Water with life?
Don't know, but they want to send a probe with proper tools (and a relay satellite I'd imagine) to mine the ice down so it can take w/e it needs to see if there is any form of life on Europa.

I don't know if it'll work out, it's 4 years away (it's a moon of Jupiter so it's in our Solar System) but hey, let's find out. XD

"why not? :P"

Same with religion, it's a bad philosophy to consider

Do you think it would be a bad idea to make life on other planets. I mean the ones that can't already make life themselves.

idont really understand what you are saying... you mean creating life that can live on other planets? i dont think thats a good idea. we shouldnt meddle with nature that way.

there are certain 'bands' of distance from their star/sun and size of planet to suustain complex life.

>if a planet is to far away from the sun then water cannot be maintained, to close and the water cant form, just evaporate.

>if a planet is to large in size, the gravity can cause possibly more metiorite strikes and to break the bones of fragile life dew to increased gravity, too small and the gravity won't be strong enough for the animals to develop muscles that are powerful enough, also the smaller planets tides would be horrendus ripping the coast apart.

not sure... i dont think there are life on the moon and wed already know about it if there was. also... im not a scientist so i might be comlpletely wrong but if someone dies in the moon will the body wroten and will he become a skeleton? i mean if im not wrong there arent any bacterias/ fungos etc. in space and most planets so there would be probably much more then just a "head" liying there right?

anyway, what i just said might be completely stupid so im not sure if im right or wrong... feel free to correct me (gently please XP)

I dont believe that there ar eintelligent aliens on other planet but I do believe that there could be other forms of life out there, but not in our solar sytem. Astronomers say that there are more stars out there then grains of sand on all of the beaches in the world, so that means there are billions if not trillions of stars out there, so out of all those stars, there might be a chance that one planet, is at the perfect distance where life can form. So what I mean is I dont believe in intelligent aliens that are gonna visit Earth, but rather just life on a planet outside our Solar System.

Since there is no atmosphere/bacteria or the like, the body would eventually dry out and become a husk. Pretty much like a super mummy

I suppose after a VERY long time the flesh would decay enough that it would be gone, but i'm not sure exactly how long that is.

Wether there is or not, we will never know in our lifetime unless they come here!

If there is life in other planets it will have no need to be just like us (maybe there is a planet gobernated by dogs with supoer intelligence, How knows)

If there is any other life in the universe I think it would be so different from humans it would be beyond comprehension.

yes it reminds me of a tv show i watched. scientists were trying to find planets that are alot like the earth to find life forms... i was like: "your looking for aliens... not for humans..."

They are looking for earth-like planets because we know that these planets can &quotroduce" life.

Accully that is not true , scientist have discovored fosles and other life that might exist. To some extent they might exist and we might find the answer .

"your looking for aliens... not for humans..."


They call them aleins because there not sure what lives out there. Some people believe *huminids* may not look like humans but maybe be just as smart as humans on earth.
Also im not just talking about the moon , but aother planets as well.
