<div class="IPBDescription">Once and For All</div> OK, so here are my views on "aliens" or beings from another planet etc. etc.
My personal views are as such: Does the U.S. Send out signals into space? I really don't know, it is a genuine question, I suppose SETI might but honestly now, if we DON'T then how do we expect any other life-form(s) to send out signals? If we DO then, good job but think about it, the odds of a life-form/force/thing speaking our same language, understanding our frequencies etc. is very limited, right?
I personally believe "life" exists outside our home planet but much like what is shown in the movie "Men in Black" with the world being inside a galazy and a galaxy inside space and space inside a marble with these other beings playing games with them really doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me. Who knows how big the universe is, what's beyond the universe? Does it end? If not then where does it begin? Or does it have neither or simply a portion of "space" devoid of any matter at all, just space, weightless, soundless, colorless, odoreless space with nothing to occupy it?
These questions plague me. State your views please,

AFAIK, SETI only listens for stuff, they don't actually send anything out.
As far as whether anything is out there or not... Who knows?

The science part of me believes that alien life forms exist, although not as we might picture them, with the big heads, green skin, etc. If we do find alien life, it will most likely be in the form of single celled organisms. Are there larger beings out there? Possibly, but we haven't found even a bacterium from space yet, so I'm not keeping myhopes up.
Personally though, I'm one of those "God" nuts. Crazy bastards, going around having faith in something and whatnot.
They're not talking about 'outside' the universe, they're talking about in the universe itself. 'Dark matter' is believed to be everywhere, most importantly, the 'vacuum' of space.
Also, why is it that most people automatically assume that these beings would exist in 3-Dimensional space? What if these aliens were creatures of time, or, they existed in 2D? They could be microscopic, they could be large. They could speak our language, they could speak in noises. There are so many possibilities for what these beings are. There are also a lot of questions that go along with them. What type of planet do they live on? Are there different sexes of these aliens? What do they look like?

Well we would like to think that these aliens are WAY more technologically advanced than us. It would seem logical that they would have equipment that would be able to pick up faint signals.
Why would God waste his time making the other planets?
Also along these lines, this suggests that there is more than one race of humans- the others must look just like us, because if their intelligent enough to get here, God must have loved them so much to put them into his image.
Just my opinion.
my opinion is that there has to be another form of sentient ... being, somewhere out there. i don't want to use the word life, as our definition of life is limited only to what we've seen on earth.
*Barring any kind of wierd race that can live withen a gas planet, which doesnt seem possible becuase of thier low density, but who knows*
As a matter of fact, C.S. Lewis wrote a rather interesting Sci-fi trilogy called "Out of the silent planet," where mankind met a whole slew of other races, none of which were fallen from God as man is.
It's certainly not scripture, but it makes an interesting point. The bible is the story of Man and Man's relationship to God, it's possible that there are other planets with other beings.
Not that I think it's very likely.

Yes, I agree, I'm a believer in Jesus and God and I believe in the possability of Aliens. It is entirely possible that their is another race that HASN'T fallen from God out there. But in that case, would God allow us to find them and "contaminate" them with our sinful nature? Probably not but you never know. :\
*so much for keeping religion out of this* LMAO

Why wouldn't God make other planets? it's not like he would have anything else to do with his time now is it?
An who's to say that any of his other possable creations out there would looks like us? It does say that man was made in Gods image but being the supreme being who's to say that he wouldn't have had a different image with which to mould his other possable creations on.
And I can once and for all say that god doesnt exsist, well at least the devil. When I was 12 I tried selling my soul for a SNES...... nothing happened.
