In the words of my astronomy professor: "Assuming there is life, once more assuming there is intelligent life, it lives hundreds lightyears away. Therefor, assume once more that it HAS found away to travel that obscenely large distance to find and observe Earth. Assuming all of this is true, then this intelligent alien life would be far MORE intelligent than us, or at least far more technologically advanced. And, simply put, we might not interest them in the slightest because of the huge intellectual gap that exists between us. After all, when is the last time you sat down to have a conversation with an earth worm?"

Unless, of course, we are their experiment...

If I was an alien race advanced enough to travel through space, and if I found earth I would turn and run in the other direction and never look back.

Well, they might have shown up when we were all busy being ameoba.

chunkyrice I like your answer! ;D

Let's look at this logically (and yes I know that's a dirty word on this spot).

The probability of life forming on a planet is unbelievably low, say one in a billion billion. However there are more planets than a billion billion in the universe so lets assume there is intelligent life out there somewhere.

Then let's think, how intelligent is intelligent? Intelligent enough to build a telescope that can see intelligent life on earth, say hundreds of light years away minimum? I doubt it. Intelligent enough to invent a spacecraft that goes FASTER than the speed of light? I doubt that even more. Desperate enough to spend hundreds of years in a spaceship trying to get here, just so that we can start a war with them? (face it, that's what would happen)

Why would they bother?

Mm, you sound like my astronomy teacher kinda sorta.

Ever seen Contact?

Moreover, ever heard of the Christmas Tree scenario?

Perhaps Zeus, Odin, God and every other being all were actually here at one time... and we considered them gods because of how advanced they were from us, then they got bored with playing with our heads and all moved on.

Yes. They are here. And Fanpopping.

No, except if all rocks are flint creatures.

THEY ARE NOT REALLY

They may have but we were probably too busy to notice or just didn't want to believe it. ~_^

No i don't even believe in aliens!

why can't maybe be an option ;D

aliens would b cool but..

yes but maybe a long time ago... like after dinos but before humans

No there probs scared of us as we are scared of them!

Yes before humans evolved

They're too smart for that.

i'm with chunkyrice13.
(:

then everyone would know of their existance!

With all of those sightings, hell yes!

yea///...

I believe in aliens but don't believe they have visited earth

Absolutely. How else can you explain alien encounters, abductions, UFO sightings?

sleep parlilis, drunks, weather balloons, and hoxes for atentoin

they are here already,they always have been.always will.maybe trying to warn us of impending danger?

its a possibilty, i watched a thing on the history channel bout them... it was very interesting

I've had my experiences and I don't care what anyone says. I believe that it goes farther than aliens coming and visiting. I believe they are here and some have more control than we think. But, that's my opinion.

If they did, people wouldn't be so pessimistic. Although it could of happened in a very old age that even the scientists cannot be confirmed about their visit. But I do believe they exist. Life is not only about humans, animals or bugs you know. Earth isn't the only planet that has life in it. But that's beside the point now. I don't know, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. But of all planets, why would the aliens want to reach Earth? I believe they could of. But no one can know. if the scientists didn't confirmed it yet, none of us will. BUT we CAN! And they CAN. That's my opinion.

I agree with Cinders first comment.

yes

havent u seen fourth kind...

Maybe

I'm still unsure if I believe aliens are real but if they are, they've probably been to Earth.

I'm open to the possibility.
