OT: The size of earth..........

[QUOTE=GOBB]Of course there are other life forms outside of human beings. Stop being so damn arrogant humans. GOD doesnt create a universe where there are things within it just for show n tell. Those "stars" or whatever the ***** was posted sounding like fighters in Troy arent just there to be there. Everything has a purpose and some things we just arent meant to know what for...yet (perhaps). Just like we cant think for GOD. But rest assure there are other forms of life out there. You just dont have other planets for the sake of it. And the galazy is so huge man cant even explore it all.[/QUOTE]

Either GOD, excuse i mean GOBB, is right or he just proved there is no God.

BTW, You say "we cant think for GOD", but you are speaking for him in the post. You cant speak for God either. No one knows his intentions.

What do you sit around and just wait for posts like these to appear you clown? Got any thoughts on the subject or you rather sift thru peoples posts and pull a hoe move "hey u cant say that then this", "wait either ur right or ur wrong...which is it?". Drop some thoughts on the topic or STFU you out of shape white boy.

No. I just got back from playing basketball and checked up on this topic that has interested me. I'm with you, i believe in God and all that. Im just telling you when you say we cant think for God, and then later in the post speak for him, you and contradicting yourself. And what i said about you either being completely right or being completely wrong is right. Either all the extra stuff shows that there is no God and the big bang created everything, or else there is a God and he has a purpose for everything.

[QUOTE]or do you believe God was like *poof*, and Adam and Eve materialized in the Garden of Eden?[/QUOTE]

Thats some religious stuff man created. Dont insult me with that sillyness kid.

I believe in GOD and thats all that matters. GOD created everything so for the most part life outside of Earth to me exists and seeing these images I believe they are there for some reason. Dont know the reason. Might not ever know in my lifetime. Thats what i believe. GOD is good.

The appendix in the human body doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. It serves as decoration for the worms that live inside your body. The use a piece of it to woo the ladies when they're out on a date.

Jerm you enjoy being a smartass. I think its lame but do you.

[QUOTE=ShannonElements]Well, that's why I asked rather than just assuming. I don't think anything exists for some kind of 'grand reason'. Just my opinion. Agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]

Pretty much all i've been doing. Agree to disagree and acknowledging one anothers beliefs/position.

Some things are just there as a result of circumstances and serve no purpose whatsoever even though most things around us are there for a reason.

that is fascinating, I wonder how they know that there is that stuff out there

[QUOTE=Jerm]Some things are just there as a result of circumstances and serve no purpose whatsoever even though most things around us are there for a reason.[/QUOTE]

Doesnt mean the things you think are there serving no purpose dont serve a purpose.

there must have been at least over a reported 10,000 alien encounters or ufo sightings.

I think there are ONLY 2 real possibilties when it comes to the the question of intelligent life populating the universe..

1. technology isn't as limitless as we think it is and the universe is populated with infinite intelligent life that has no way of ever communicating with each other or ever visiting each other.

2. We are completely alone in the universe and it is devoid of other intelligent life.

If there were a vast number of intelligent life out in the universe AND the technology to comminicate and traval the universe someone would have had to have set up a "franchise" at some point and time.. it would only take one one entitity to do this and we would be aware of them.

One entity in limitless time and infinite species... and we would know about it.

It would only take one lifeform deciding to start a "franchise" using something like this...

[QUOTE]someone would have had to have done this at some point and time.. it would only take one one entitity to do this and we would be aware of them.[/QUOTE]

Considering our human history is sooo short, and our capability to try and reach other intelligent life has been even shorter, I don't see how we would be aware of them so soon.

You have to read about the concept of a Von Neumann machine. Basically it's like a robot that self-replicates and spreads itself through the universe.

How I imagine it working is that it would self replicate.. see a Sun like ours.. figure out that life will develop here one day, come here, set up shop, wait around for us, and then communicate with us.

So, again, if life was limitless.. I don't see how one life form out there wouldn't have done this. And it would seemingly take very little technoolgy to do this.

As for the time frame... yes we haven't been around long. But there should be life that is much much older than us that would have spread through the Universe by now.

[b]Well, just to play ball, let's say one of these machines spotted our sun, and decided to head over to set up shop. When it departed for our solar system, humankind had yet to exist, but due to the enormous distance, we've already advanced to present day and it's still on its way. And our universe is relatively young, so even if there is more intelligent life out there somewhere, it's quite possible that they're not yet as advanced as we are. I know, not exactly sci-fi, but possible.[/b]

The thing is, I think to be able to travel through space it would be necessary to manipulate time. And this is why there is a very big possbility the limitations of technology are too great to travel through space to other life forms.

No matter what Einstein tells you, you can't manipulate time.
