Do you believe there are many more populated Earth like Planets in some of the Galaxies within the Universe?

I find it hard (and arrogant) to assume that our tiny speck of dust is the only place in the Universe where intelligent life has developed. However, I will not go so far as to say that all other planets are populated by humans or life like ours. And I do hope that any visiting aliens have the sense to stay away from the foolishness of humanity.

Firstly, what does Almighty God representing equality have anything to do with this question? Secondly, why would humans be indigenous to all populated Earth-like planets in the Universe? Both these statements are fail. But yes, I do believe there are not hundreds, not even thousands, but MILLIONS across the Universe (I mean there are a hundred BILLION galaxies in the OBSERVABLE universe! And there is several tens of billions of light years unobservable because of distance)

I agree with you that there is a high likelihood of many Earth-like worlds in the universe. However, it is preposterous to suggest that any other planet will have our species, homo sapiens, populating them. I get tired of uneducated people blatantly ignoring the abundant scientific evidence that fundamentally links our species to this planet. You simply cannot argue with our DNA. And no, it was not tampered with by an alien super race either. Nothing but several billion years of evolution, a remarkably stable habitat (the Earth) and a good deal of luck. Even if you turned the clock back and ran evolution again, you would not end up with the same species. To deny this is to fundamentally misunderstand statistical probability, as well as evolution and biology.

Could be. The REAL question is -- how can they affect us ot us affect them? Of the 40 stars closest to earth, ONLY ONE -- Bernard's Star is though to have ANY planets! But NONE of it's planets seem to be capable of producing life! Bernard's Star is 6 light years away. Now, those 40 stars are within 16 light years of earth. At 80% light speed (a figure NOT YET attainable by a manned craft) the one-way travel time would be about 20 years. ROUND trip would of course be 40 years, not counting the time spent AT the destination. For a trip of that duration, it would seem useless to spend less than 5 years on-planet, and probably more like 10. Summation: round trip: 50 years. Consider human lifetimes: statistical average 76 years for a human male. Considering a 50 year round trip, the astronaut sent on this journey would have to be approximately 25 years old (not counting time dilation effects at near-light speeds) to have ANY hope of returning home. And he MUST return home in order to be questioned and debriefed about his experience! Remember, radio waves travel at the same speed as light. So any radio transmission for a planet 16 light years away would have to travel 16 YEARS before it got back to earth! AND . . . Radio Waves follow an Inverse Square Law function. The possibly of ACCURATELY receiving a meaningful radio transmission from 16 light years away is almost none! RESULT: The astronaut MUST return alive in order to be questioned about his on-planet experience. But so far as we know, there are no life-sustaining planets within 16 light years of earth! ALL such possibilites are MUCH farther away. this means that a trip to those planetary possibilites are not possible within one persons life time. Since we do not have "stasis field" technology and cyogenic research is not producing the hoped for results, we now must raise the question of "generation ships" -- space craft that are capable of FULLY supporting a crew through their COMPLETE lifecycle -- from birth to death. That means sufficient food, water, oxygen, education, and entertainment, to support the complete crew PLUS CHILDREN for two or more generations.. Not impossible, but well outside of current technology. Now, consider that ALL of these stars are within the Milky Way Galaxy! OTHER GALAXIES are THOUSANDS or MILLIONS of light years away! It is one thing to design a "generation ship" to last for two or three generations, but THOUSANDS OF YEARS?? The technology involved would be like designing a rogue planet! Now, what about "The Aliens"? THEY have to follow the same laws of physics WE do. They might live longer than we do (or maybe not...) but they cannot travel faster. It ALSO takes them hundreds of thousands of years to get to "here" from "there", and present the same technological hurdels to them as it does to us. The facts remain: The number of life sustaining planets is NOT as large as you might believe (within a 16-light-year radius from earth -- 40 major stars, but ONE such planet -- US. A ratio of 40-to-1 AGAINST). Possibility of life-sustaining planets within range of travel in a normal human lifespan: NONE. While I don;t deny the possibility that there IS intelligent life out there SOMEWHERE, the possibility of us finding it or it finding us is extremely remote. We are isolated in our own little corner of the galaxy by shear distance, and not likely to meet any one or anything else. Technology necessary to to actually FIND other intelligent life is completely outside the capabilites of all but the most distant Science Fiction adventure, and not even close to human possibiliteis within the forseeable furuter.

It would be an incredible coincidence if Earth were the only planet to hold life, but equally that it would be an incredible coincidence if cognisant life on another planet could be recognised by us, except possibly by scientific experimentation. Communication between the two life forms seems extremely unlikely to be possible, and it is very unlikely that man could ever visit other life-bearing planets, given that all those stars within travelling distance of more than a few generations can be seen not to support planets that could possibly contain life. Making the far-fetched assumption that a distant life-bearing planet could be identified and intergalactic transport designed and built to reach it, so many generations of traveller would have lived and died in the spaceship that the survivors, when they eventually touch down, will probably have lost touch with why they went there - and nobody back home will ever have any clue whether the travellers ever arrived, so it would be all a bit of a waste of time trying to find out.

Life on Earth is a single white dot in a black sea, so the white dot tends to expand to find the right equilibrium. Also two similar white dots tend to get together. But lets just focus on the expansion caused from the pressure of the outer non-Life form. That is what Life has always done, to expand. It has this command in "it's dna". On a planet there are constant reactions with space dust, it is a common feature of all the planets in the General Universe, for example, although the combination results happened here on Earth, Life had reached an intelligence level that could be useful for other transformation of Life itself. Intelligence is a property of Life, and Life is made of Matter and energy. Unintelligent Life continues to expand to develop to the next step: intelligence, what is beyond intelligence? I guess we have to wait and see. Whatever our brain is made of, intelligence should have the time to come up in, most certainly, in a different way, in many places and in many different, non simultaneous frames of time. Intelligence is made for other things than to waste it's planet resources. Intelligence grows in the living forms that are supposed to understand how to stop expanding, like "unintelligent" forms of Life always do. Of course there must be in some place and time a combination of Matter such as the one we have Here, on Earth, or Terra or Sol III. Taken as a whole, the Earth's chemical composition (by mass) is: 34.6% Iron 29.5% Oxygen 15.2% Silicon 12.7% Magnesium 2.4% Nickel 1.9% Sulfur 0.05% Titanium Combine with an irradiating star, some space dust, some time and you got Life! In my opinion the fact the Life developed in intelligence is a proof that Life has a second agenda, and that Life is adaptable to many sorts planet of many solar systems.

No. If there are people in other worlds why have they not contacted us, and why can't we find them? And if there is life elsewhere in the universe why has God not disclosed it to us, leaving us feeling alienated, alone, and deserted. I think we are alone. And it is by God's design that we stay that way, until he dictates differently.

Earth IS PREEEEEEEETTY RARE. VERY. When you look at everything earth has it is SOOOO much more that life needs to exist than you'd think. People can be like,"All we need is water, oxygen and food!," NO. We need more than that, when you're looking at every factor that earth has, vital for life, you begin to realize it does seem pretty rare. But for me, I'm caught in the middle.

Ofcourse. The Universe is INFINITE. Repeat. Alright, Inside the Universe is? Galaxys Inside Galaxys are? Solar systems Inside Solar systems are? Stars and Planets What maybe on them Planets? Life. Microbical life. Or just Normal or Intelligent. Could be Any. And all them things will exist FOREVER. Out of all the Odds. THERE is life everywhere on planets. anywhere. There's life on other planets. Even every scientist believes there is.
