We're that First intelligent life.

So it could be completely possible that we ARE the only intelligent life however the possibility completely remains that MORE could spawn in another thousand billion whatever years. All of our known human existence dating back hundreds of millions of years that they've dated bones and shit, that amount of time is not a fart in a windstorm compared to how long the universe has been around.

Pass the bong.

yea and the sun revolves around the earth.

I think extraterrestrial life exists


And that it's never visited earth and the Mayans and Egyptians just believed in people with elephant heads and cat dicks or whatever because they were weird

We're not even the first on Earth, depending on how you define intelligent. Neanderthals were intelligent; not quite as intelligent as us, but plenty intelligent.

Besides, Humans aren't nearly old enough in the grand scheme of things. It's difficult to imagine the universe being around that long without a sapient species. As near as we can tell, the universe had the right stuff for Earth-like planets potentially supporting life for as much as 10 billion years before we arrived. Given how quickly it seems intelligent life can develop, that's an awful lot of wasted time and space.

What we do know, is that Earth is a singular unique planet with no others like it in all the documented star systems.

Actually, they've already found other planets where life like we know it on earth could exist. What they haven't found is a way to travel there in one's lifetime. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The universe is indeed vast in space and in time, but it is also infinitely vast in magnitude. We're talking about bacteria as if they mean nothing, and we could well be bacteria for other beings who could be bacteria themselves for other beings, and so on.

Aliens visiting us could be civilizations with technology to magnify and shrink things rather than technology to travel long distances.

Anyway, word on the street is that the U.S. has struck a deal with one of those advanced alien species. In return for alien technology, the U.S. lets the aliens experiment on farmers in Iowa nobody cares about.

I'm ok with this deal.

Agreed.

Homo heidelbergensis likely was intelligent as well (buried their dead, had hafted stone points and hand axes, had specialized hearing and right-handed tendencies which some believe implies complex speech) and they are between 500,000 and 1.5mil years old. Modern Human is definitely not the first intelligent species on the planet [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

An extraterrestrial species has very likely existed as some point before us in the universe and will at some point after us as well, but a space-faring race that has come to earth to abduct and do tests on us? Nah, I can't buy that.

We are trying to conceive Aliens as though we can actually understand them in some type of human capacity. I believe the bacteria scenario is most probable most likely if we're applying human logic.

Ever imagine how ants, animals, or any species with a shorter life cycle than humans see things? Do they think about time, or are they ignorant of such concepts? Maybe ants believe that living for 1 day is a lifetime. Just as we might imagine 100 years as a lifetime. Aliens could live for billions of years, and so therefore our existence is trivial.
