There hasn't been enough evidence. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.

Yes 100% and we will never see them or communicate in any way.  My tin hat is on.

Yes, I do.

I've always believed that there is another life-form out there in the great beyond. IMHO to think otherwise is a tad arrogant.

Yes (probably) but as TTT says - too far away for any possible interaction before our solar system dies.

Yes. But I have doubts about advanced lifeforms within reach.  We may be the most advanced in the visible universe.

Yes.  Having said that,  I don't believe they're buzzing around in flying saucers abducting yokels in rural America.

The Fermi Paradox is that there should be evidence of exterrestrial life, but there isn't. if life could arise on earth, the universe is large and diverse enough that it should have arisen - and be common - elsewhere. it could be that other civilisations have existed but have very short timespans, or are in fact very rare.

it's also suggested that whichever civilisation is first to attain true interstellar capability, will probably - inadvertently - eliminate all others. it's also possible that the destroyers will be us.

mushroom; "The Fermi Paradox is that there should be evidence of exterrestrial life, but there isn't. " - Any evidence would be so far away as to be undetectable. It's not a paradox just a function of the amount of space. Statistically speaking this galaxy and all the others are teaming with life but most do not seem to comprehend the sheer vastness of space.

I think beings from space have been here already.

depending on what is plugged in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation

the drake equation predicts millions of civilisations in this galaxy alone.

13:42 yes Naomi let us not forget how proud you are of your lack of acedemic ability and knowledge.

At least Naomi can spell.

TTT, I'd put you to a test any day.  It's not my fault your humour - isn't.  Wind your neck in.

yes but we  will never know

naomi: "TTT, I'd put you to a test any day. " - not on the evidence so far. 13:42?? seriously? on what do you base that?

Crikey!  You don't know, TTT?  😂

We puny earthlings have hardly dipped out toes in the space ocean, but we can detect atmospheric conditions on planetslight years away (e.g. WASP-39 b, 700 light years). I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is intelligent life elsewhere and if that life is able to detect our presence.

I do hope that evolution can lead to beings who have outgrown the urge to kill (we have always done it for food and survival). I am optimistic that there are such beings and that they are able to monitor us, in fact they might have seeded us in the first place. If there are beings millions of years ahead of us in science and technical matters, they might well have the ability to physically explore and visit, either from superluminal transport of themselves or what we call robots.

We are tiny insignificant specs in this vast universe but still take our existence oh so seriously.

 

13:54 I know a lot of things that are attributed to aliens, but that's only the speculation of people who are susceptible to any branch of TWWOTB. Can you be more specific on why you think aliens have visited us in the past.

Because evidence exists that suggests they did.
