Will it be evidence of intelligent life from long ago? There must be something...

What i think doesnt matter, the facts will speak for themselves. I'm not one who gobbles up conspiracy theories either.

Your statement could be true, but you'll need to work on your argument. What if it wasn't true that we're animals? What if we really did each possess a spark of divinity, either granted by God or unique to humans some other way? If humans were fundamentally different from animals, we could concievably need the old stories about gods and magic, since their relevance would not diminish with age and technology, as neither of which would impact our innate human divinity. Similarly, seeing the earth from space might indeed prove human superiority instead of diminish it; we're the first and only being capable of such magnificent works. However, I don't see the "earth-from-space" thing as important at all.\n\nBut yeah, it could be true. Doesn't make it true though.

It is not possible that man knows everything so there is a strong possibility that these creatures do exist. I certainly hope so any way.

i do believe so...\n\nmore likely traveling into the past makes more scientific sense than into the future...\n\nwell, u enver know wut we gon discover in the nex years... u never know...\n\njus like thing used to be myth in the past, now, its jus a piece of common sense

What evidence might that be?

So, you're a Star Trek fan, eh?\nWell, we may not find Klingons or Romulans, but I'm certain that intelligent life is out there somewhere.

in my opinion before any response to this question can be made you must first phrase it in a more specific manner.  for example from what perspective are you inquiring?  logical?  or  belief?  as is evident by the lack of readily available reasonable answers you will not likely in your lifetime realize the answer to your question, considering the gravity of the issue itself in terms of the amount of time, space, and matter involved.  our solar system is roughly 14 billion years old according to some of our latest estimates.  logically speaking do you personaly know anyone that old that you might be able to inquire of.  of course not!  i suggest that in order for you to come to terms with your reality.  you must first do your research.  fortunately countless others have asked some of the same questions and rigorously applied a time tested and true method of inquiry and research.  if your are in any way serious about your endeavor you must utilize a standard and uniform approach to your study.  because no two perspectives share the same time and space at any one particular moment it would be logical to conclude no two individuals share the same reality either. ultimately only you can answer your own questions.  only rely on outside sources for constructing your own investigation.  not an endeavor for those not dedicated to seeking the truth of their own reality and not for any one satisfied with any old made up bull****.  so do your own work. the most important questions in life are as it turns out the hardest to answer.

When Plato's ancestor Solon went to Sais in Egypt (600 BC), the priests told him about Atlantis. They also said that inscriptions on their temple walls told how many times civilisations had risen to great heights and then fallen because of natural catastrophes such as floods, fire, earthquakes, etc. I think that maybe we are being a little presumptuous to think that it can't happen to us. I have spent the last 15/20 years researching a related subject and in my opinion the last great catastrophe was 9600 BC, with the sudden and abrupt end of the mini-ice-age called the Younger Dryas period. I believe that this is the basis of the Biblical flood. Getting back to today - the Christian versus Muslim thing - yep, of course it coming, you can smell it! I should imagine that most of the faceless men in grey suits already know this and are moving their pieces on the world chess board accordingly. Humans are amazing - we've been on the moon and sent machines out to beyond the solar system, I can pick up my phone and talk immediately to a person on the other side of the world, I can sit in my armchair and with the smallest of thumb movements be entertained by 100 different TV channels - but with the flick of an eyelid this civilisation can be destroyed because people believe that their unseen and unproven overlord of the cosmos is better than the other man's invisible and all-seeing ever-present boss. It almost makes you want to scream! We're such clever animals - but I don't think that we're too intelligent - and when it's all over we'll begin again.

There is a woman scientist now exploring an indentation of rock (forget where) who claims there is evidence that just about everything, including and especially human beings, are from outer space.  She has been denied funding repeatedly, she says, because of bias and religious protection.  I wish I could recall the name of the show...it was on The Discovery Channel about a month ago.  Pretty interesting premise for those of us that do not subscribe to the available written texts concerning how life came to be on this planet.  Honestly tho, I don't think we will know any time soon.  In the case that the major religions are wrong, everything we know would be upturned and there would most likely be chaos among all people.  Maybe it's better if we're left to wonder.

Interesting...but is there truly any way to know for sure?  It's like the Shroud of Turin, there's so much controversy that the true science in it is lost.  I think that it's the general consensus that will influence the possibilities of orgin and usage (scary, huh).

Although there is evidence of alien visitation dating back to Ancient Egypt, this seems to show that aliens have been watching our development for a long time. But it's only in the last 50 or so years that it's really come to the world's attention. \n\nConveniently it is only in the last 50 years that nuclear technology has been developed. \n\nMaybe they are observing us with the future intention of invasion, or maybe they come here just to say "hi" in the spirit of exploration and discovery. But if the second were true, why not reveal themselves publicly for the world to see?

There is a great deal missing from this article. Whether or not it is life is questionable. That the material is called "cells" indicates that the material is self-reproducing 'autonomously', and I don't know that's been proved yet.\n\nAlso, yet to be proved, is the idea that the material is of extraterrestrial origin. There are many new types of life being found on earth almost daily. True most of these are just variations of species, but we are finding life in places never before thought possible.\n\nWithout DNA, some other sort of self-replication mechanism needs to be present, and the article made no claims to what form this mechanism takes. I would need to see a great deal more to be convinced of any of the claims made in the article.\n\nThat's not to say I couldn't believe, but I just need more information.

The theories could very well be true, unless proven otherwise. If you are looking at it from the theological point of view, then consider this:\n\nThe original ingredients for the single cellular organism from which all life on earth originated must have been placed there by some greater power. Maybe from time to time that power guided evolution to humanity, and maybe later that power will guide evolution to some beings better than us?

I wouldnt say there isnt any life outsdide our solar system. there can be a very high possibility that there is inteligent life out there.

At the present time, we just don't know.  If you saw pictures of aliens, what you saw were fake.  Nobody on earth has yet to produce a verifiable image, photographic, electronic or hand-drawn, of a living creature that originated elsewhere in the universe than from our home planet.  Nobody.\n\nAlso, at the present time, we suspect that there is no other planet in any nearby solar system that's host to a sentient race of beings like us.  That does not mean that some form of what we call "life" is impossible, but just think: out of the billions of living critters that now inhabit, or did in the past, our home planet, only one of those life forms evolved to the point where it (us) can even begin to think about such questions.  That by itself will tell ya we're sorta unique! ;-)\n\nIt sure would be interesting, wouldn't it?  But imagine if you will what it might be like if those alien creatures we fantasize about were an advanced race of carnivores that look upon us as another breed of cattle, fit only for eating!  Yow!  Or, how about if they were friendly, warm and fuzzy folks who just love to make nice with us - but they carry an infectious disease that there's no cure for.  Oh boy.  Or maybe, like Darth Vader, they just consider us a nusiance worthy of one blast from a super-mega cannon that blows Earth into dust?  Whoa!  Hey dude: you SURE you wanna meet aliens?  \n\nAll this is just idle speculation.  The hard fact is, even if there were creatures just like us somewhere in the universe, we are not gonna know about it, because the distances between them and us are just too great to permit interstellar travel, the hazards of such a trip are insurmountable, and no means of communication can travel fast enough for us to hear from them and be able to answer back.  Kind of a bummer, isn't it?

Yeah there is life,but the jury is still out on whether or not it is intelligent.
