Does anybody think that there is other intelligent life out there?

I'm not sure there's much intelligent life HERE, let alone out there.

There is alien  life. Perhaps not in our solar system but definately out there.\nNow this life could be simple microbes or anything like that.\nIntelligent life may be out there too, it all depends on how things developed after the big bang. There   MUST Be intelligent life out there.. There's none here!!!

I also think that it would be very small-minded to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the vast expanses of outer space, moreover, i think that its not a matter of IF we meet being from somewhere else, but WHEN we meet them, sooner or later were gonna cross paths.

No I believe there is other life out there somewhere. The universe is huge so how could we be the only planet to have life?

there hasn't been any found yet.... but... the possibility of life on other planets is very  high....  :)

yes of course there are other aliens and such that we dont know about. why would god just make us and not anything else. they do exist.

If by human-like you mean intelligent, then yeah, it's almost certain that there either has been, is, or will be other, or many other intelligent life in this universe. \n\nThe saddest part of living in this massive universe is that another intelligent civilisation could have existed, learned to travel at the speed of light, visited thousands of star systems, and then became extinct, all before the first dinosaur even existed. And there's a decent chance that after all that exploring they may never have found any evidence of another intelligent species.

Alien? What's that?\n\nI think there is a huge statistical probability that LIFE exists somewhere else. And that may be as simple as uncicell forms of life. It may also be another form of life we've never seen on earth.\n\nBut "aliens" as we see in movies, sure not!!!

You assume, incorrectly I believe, that there is intelligent life on earth. . .

It is more likely than not that there are many planets in the universe with life and many of those may have "intelligent" life.\n\nWe have just only obtained the ability to detect planets in other solar systems and we can only detect very large ones. We do not have the ability to detect Earth like planets.\n\nWithin our own solar system, we have yet to find undisputable evidence of life on any of the planets we have activley searched for it. Many scientists are optimistic about finding microbial life forms within our solar system though. There are still pleanty of places on Mars, for example, that we simply haven't looked, and there are many moons in our solar system with the potential for supporting microbial, and even more complex life forms. Jupiter's moon Europa is a good candidate because it is covered by a sheet of ice and thought to have liquid water oceans underneath. Due to Jupiter's gravity constantly tugging on the planet, it is likely geologically active and thermal vents may exist in it's under ice oceans. Here on Earth, underwater thermal vents are teeming with life, even though no sun light reaches them.

i also think aliens exist. out of all solar systems all the planets all the galaxies in the universe we can or should never argue that we are alone.

I'd imagine there is.... the universe is way to big to assume that we are the only planet with 'civilized' life on it.\n\n& really... are we THAT civilized???   :P

most probably.. life of other planets is probably totally different from that of our planet.. but it definatly exists

We don't know for sure, but probably there is.  \n\nScientifically, think about it.  If there is a .001% (a random low number) chance of life living in a solar system, and .001% chance of life on a planet in the solar system, and a .001% chance of the life being intelligent, the chances are really good.\n\nIf the universe is unlimited in size, then then these figures will mount up and eventually the probably will get to 100% that intellegent life exists somewhere.  \n\nLet me clearify: you can say that if a galaxy has 10 planets and there is a .001% chance of life existing in that one galaxy, there's a .01% chance of life existing there.  However, the universe (as far as we know) is unlimited in size.  There is an unlimited amount of planets in the universe, therefore, you can speculate that there is a 100% chance of life existing in outer space (because there are unlimited number of planets).  I think that I clearified it, if not let me know.  ownager@sbcglobal.net

Definitely in the case of simple life forms, if only from a simple mathematical perspective. Intelligent life seems a bit more chancy, but it seems still probable. Whether or not we would ever contact that life seems a very distant possibility indeed because of the obstacles involved. First is technical: the difficulty in detecting the other civilization because of the differences in level and types of technology (for example, a civilization here on Earth which uses only radio waves to communicate would be oblivious to microwave cell phone messages). Then the tremendous distances over which a message or spacecraft would have to travel must be addressed. Even after surpassing these technical issues are the motivational factors in that there is a good possibility that the nearby civilizations would have no interest in contacting us either because they are too advanced or just lack the motivation for interestellar discourse. It would be unrealistically arrogant of us to assume that all life forms would share the same interest in studying  sociological interactions in simpler organisms.

NO,WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES IN THE UNIVERSE,WHO EVER SAID THAT IS A IGNORANT,HUMAN HAVEN'T EXPLORE .1 OF THE UNIVERSE,WE ARE STILL IN MARS....JUST IMAGINE THAT\nAND ANY KIND OF LIFE(PLANTS,INSECT,BACTERIA...ETC)IS CONSIDER AS E.T

I think yes..could be a good answer...If we compare ourselves to..Earth..our solar system..our galaxy..We are very young put next to the planet's age and even more young when compared to the universe..Are we human beings the ONLY intelligence in the universe?..No..we are a primitive species...and there are far greater intelligent beings that do not originate from Earth..We are not alone..
