LOL @ "little people who look strange to us".

Extraterrestrial life exists, sure. It's a rather large universe and stuff, and they can use some pretty basic math and stats to show that the probability is beyond a resonable doubt.

As to whether they're visiting us... well, there's plenty of arguments why that's just science fiction.

I believe him and the government is lying. (I am being serious)

The reason why the government has kept it secret is because HELL on earth would break out if they went public with it 50 years ago. Shit would stil hit the fan today.

Imagine what 1.2 billion Christians and 1.3 billion Muslims would do if it were revealed. Their religions would collapse as we know it.

how so? most christians believe in aliens, alot of catholics do as well, they are simply demons...most people think this will explain the "rapture" they will say the aliens took them but yeah most do believe they are about what ever they are

according to dawkins, life is so rare and the correct combos so slim that a figure would be 1 in a billion planets could contain the right combo for life to exist
and that equals out to a possible billion planets that meet the criteria

Right. The exsistance of aliens is very compatible with Christian theology.

Thanks for posting the links...fairly interesting stuff. I agree with what Samoth posted about the probability of extra-terrestrial life yet I am somewhat skeptical as far as contact with us is concerned.

Here is a link to the audio interview.

I agree some Christians believe in aliens. Official church doctrine and the bible holds only humans are created in gods image and it does not support the belief that aliens exist. Fundamentalists do not even believe dinosaurs existed.

+1

And it's funny how so many suggest that they would be much like ourselves. Whenever people talk about aliens, they must be from a planet like our own. How arrogant and ignorant. I highly doubt that "we" (as in earth based life forms) are the only way for life to exist. Who is to say that alien "life" needs water? I mean, hell, there are organisms here on earth that consume sulfur...... If you or I consumed primarily sulfur, it would kill us deader than shit. What's to say that some form of alien life form wouldnt consume hydrogen or helium???? Considering that most of the universe consists of these two elements, that's where I'd put my money if I was a betting man.

Again, that's not to say that there cant be alien life that is similar to ours.

Alas, we are all star stuff......
