Im guessing they fit intot eh supernatural catagory.
What do you think aliens look like, if they exist?
For one, i think they would have to remotely look liek we do. Because a planet that can suppot life would have to have obviously what we have on Earth.
And we are the most energy efficient shape and size for our resources.
So i think aliens would have to look remotely human, maybe a little less or more perportionate, but ears, eyes like ours, nose, hair, arms, legs, etc.
Although the body size could be smaller, if it is a smaller planet, or they could be fatter, if the planet was colder so they needed to store fatty tissue, or they could be darker (black) if the planet was under constant sun rays.
What are your thoughts and opinions on the subject at hand?

I deffinatly believe in Aliens. If you look up at the sky, there are billions and billions of stars...and most of these stars have planets. And just so you know, that's a lot of planets. What are the chances that this planet is the only one in the universe that can sustain life. Surely there must be other planets out there with intelligent life.
I also think they would look like us, because we humans are a perfect machine, and they would probably resemble us. Maybe have extra fingers, or less fingers, or maybe extra limbs, but for the most part, I think they would be humanoid-like beings.
I dont think they would look exactly like us, though, because they would have evolved to suit a different environment. There could be aliens out there who are less evolved than us, or perhaps more evolved. If we ever meet aliens, I think it would be cool to meet the more evolved versions. :cool:
But for all we know, there could be life in every solar system in the universe.
Scientists hypothesize that the first life forms on earth were created when a bolt of lightening caused certain random molecules to randomly combine, thus created the first organic compound. From this compound, all other forms of life evolved.
It just seems logical that this random event had to occur on some other planets other than ours. The laws of probability would suggest that there is life on other planets.

I believe they exist. But, I wonder if they are smarter or dumber than us :confused:

I believe they look like the one featured in my avatar. That's how most witnesses identify them when they cliam to have an encounter with one or more.

Ya, the greys seem to be the ones people abducted always describe. Freaky sons of bitches.
And we are the most energy efficient shape and size for our resources.
Reminds me of K-pax. Why is a bubble a bubble? :)
But of course aliens don't even have to be carbon based, and to us my not even appear to be life forms.
Highly doubt they would look like us. Remember one scientist saying that Star Wars is a lot better picture of alien life that Star Trek where an alien can look exactly like a human except for maybe a wrinkly forehead.
Just look at how strange the creatures of earth can be. Sea Cucumber anyone? An alien could be strange beyond your wildest dreams. If they're intelligent and have a body that allows for building then that's all they need for a civilization. (Poor dolphins...if only they had hands.)
Read one article showing what "humans" would look like if dinosaurs never became extinct, showing a model of a bipedal humanoid creature that evolved from the dinosaur with the largest brain mass to body size.
Life isn't always what you think it is.

Exactly.
A buble wouldnt be a square, because it uses too much energy, we look like we do, because we have adapted to use the most efficient amount of energy.
And when i said Aliens exist, i didnt mean the kind that will stick metal things up your ass, but i meant more towards intelligent life. You have to think, there are hundreds of billions of planets, maybe billions of billions of billions. And possibly even more universes, such as are galaxies.
But what is the chance there is intelligent life on only one of these hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billion planets?

i think there is, and i've always thought there is. Its always fascinated me, but movies like "Signs" really creeps me out in terms of relations between us.
I do believe in aliens. I just doubt that we will ever make contact with them for a long time. What if we are the stupidest planet out there? What if they won't even stop here because when ever they do they always meet the same type of people? They almost always meet hics. So they probably think that is what all life is like here.
What if they don't want to make contact with us because of our history? Because of all the wars we have had. Because ther are afraid that if they come here we will want there technology and then will start a war with them to be all powerful.
They might even be afraid to make contact because then we would relocate to other planets or something like that and do what we have to this one. I know this is going to sound really FFVII-ish but we are killing our planet. What if they are afraid we are going to do it to there planets?
