There has to be other advanced civilizations out there....right?

Question

Judging from the puny size of our one galaxy holding 8(Or is Pluto still counting?) planets compared to all the other galaxies out there, all of them can't be empty can they? Even if there is just organic life on them that's good enough for me.

Answer 1

ya...m strongly believe in aliens..and i hope they are more advance than us so they  can find us,though we are still finding them..

Answer 2

There's an extremely high probability, yes, but there is no certainty. And our galaxy holds a lot more than eight planets. You're thinking of our solar system. There's a big difference, and you should learn it.

Answer 3

Wrong.  There doesn't have to be.  It seems quite likely, given the sheer size of the universe and number of planets we have found even so far.  However, that is all based on our current understanding, which could be wrong, and statistics, which only gives the most probable picture and not necessarily a true one.

I believe there are other advanced civilizations out there, and there is reason to agree, but nothing has proven it either way.

Answer 4

of course ther are

many people believe that there are some living among us

and that if there were they would look exactly like humans do  

Answer 5

I think it would be really arrogant of us on Earth to assume that we are the only "intelligent" life form among all the galaxies.  I do believe there is life elsewhere in the universe.  

Answer 6

The best and only reasonable solution to the Fermi Paradox is that we are the ONLY show in the town... sorry kid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_parad...

But if you just HAVE to believe in ETs and UFOs, the antichrist has something special in store for you. Google/youtube: "Project Bluebeam"

Type III 'Aliens' and fake 'messiahs' just in time for 2012! Many will be fooled...

Later, ask yourself how we knew in advance:

2 Thessalonians 2:10-13

Answer 7

  There are many just like us,they won't look like us but they will closely parallel us in intelligence,be within a few hundred years of our technology and theorize about us as we do about them.

Answer 8

On the one hand there are trillions of planets and moons out there so there should be a good number with Earth like conditions but you have to remember the the chance of life starting is unbelievably small. However in your question you talk about advance civilizations. This extra criteria narrows the probability significantly and whoever said that forming cultures amongst intelligent being was the norm.

So I would say that there's a goodish chance of there being even some sort of rudimentary life, perhaps a bacterium like organism, but I think the chance of intelligence, and especially intelligent civilization, being out there is very low.

Answer 9

YES! Because the Sun can't be the only star with planets that have life!

And given the number of stars in the whole Universe there could be millions of civilizations out there! Life on Earth began nearly 4 billion years ago when elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, iron and many others combine to form the first organic elements, then the first amino acids, then proteins and DNA, then the first single cell organism then the first multicellular organisms which gradually started evolving over the course of billions of years into more intelligent lifeforms like us! The same traces of these elements have been found all across the Universe and given the right conditions(and conditions don't have to be exactly the same as on Earth) life could appear and evolve! The range is from single cell organisms to civilizations way ahead of us!

Answer 10

You're confused over the term "galaxy". What you meant to say was "solar system". A galaxy is a collection of million to trillions of stars. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way and is 100,000 light years in diameter - it's vast. The solar system (the Sun along with all its planets and other bodies) is indeed minute when compared against the size of the galaxy. There are around 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, so there is a good chance that there are other life-bearing planets out there.

Answer 11

we dont even have to look out at other galaxies to find life. in our own galaxy actually..theres a solar system thats really close to us and it has a planet that can posibly support life. and its 50% bigger than earth.sooo..only time will tell.

Answer 12

it would sure seem so...

Answer 13

nah.. we are definitely not the only ones alive in this universe

just because we haven't discovered or become open to other advanced civilizations doesn't mean that they don't exist :)  

Answer 14

Yes, I agree, it is likely there are other forms of life out there.

Answer 15

Agree!!!

There supposed to be other civilization out there, but we just cant find it

Answer 16

It seems a reasonable assumption, but that means nothing. Some people once thought there had to be life on all the planets in our solar system (do not confuse the solar system with the galaxy), because God would not have made all those places for nothing. Some even thought there had to be life on Saturn's rings for that reason. That seems hopelessly naive to us today!
