Aliens are real?

...There is some evidence that they might have, but none of it is definitive enough ...

There is no evidence that they might have.

"Evidence" of a possibility is not evidence.
It's just an occurrence that can be interpreted anyway you wish.

No, follow the science.

The science, and logic, suggests that somewhere there simply has to be other life beyond the earth's own life. Whether that life might be an advanced life form, is the only question.

A question rather like: "what is the purpose of religion".
The answer has little influence on most people. We'll never know the answer.

Seeing objects in clouds or Jesus's face in toast.

I agree, it took me an awful long time, just to make out what I think is the 'parrot' shape. Entirely natural formations.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

I think there are probably 1000s if not millions of planets with some kind of life on.
The problem is distances between planets.
Takes 100 thousand years for light to travel across our own galaxy never mind reach another galaxy.
Distances.. that's the problem!

Distance is the problem for us, with our present technology. We still have a very long way to go yet, before we know everything there is to be known, and what future technology can teach us, plus allow us to do. We have barely begun to learn, what can be learned, we are still on the bottom step...

Who would have thought we would have flat screen TV's, with thousands of channels available to us, and be able to make video calls from a pocket device, just 40 years ago?

That's easy - the sole purpose of religion, is to give those who might need it, an explanation for all that we don't presently have any logical explanation for. We don't have a 'higher being', so religion was created to provide an imaginary one.

Not necessarily,

And yet here we ae with all our tec many years on from Apollo and still we can't get off our own doorstep.

That rather suggests, the opposite to what you think..

Although technically that was 60 ish years ago.

Eh?

Cox asks the question: why haven't we found it yet?

 

[foxhole]

The chances of an alien species capable of interplanetary travel existing at the same time as humans are billion to one.

But still?

Eh? Cox says he worries that we are in fact the only life in the universe. Science doesn't say, "it is massive, so there must be life on other planets".

No gut feelings required.
