Do you think that there could be intelligent life on other planets?

I think there must be some other intelligent life besides that found on Earth. There are so many planets that we know about and probably even more that we don't know about - how can we possibly be the only inhabited planet?

Well there certainly isn't much intelligent life on this Planet!

Lol! Harsh but fair :)

With so many planets out there as yet unexplored by humans there could be lots of worlds that support intelligent life. Whether it would be anything like humans is another matter.

Yes I think there could be.

No I don't. I think we are the only ones in the universe. If there were there would have been definite signs of other worlds.

Really? Do you think we've given signs of our world out into the universe? I'm not so sure....

The light from stars we see has taken thousands of years to reach us, and many of them no longer exist even though we can still see them. It could take thousands, if not millions, of years for a signal to reach from one habitable planet to another and when it did there might no longer be life there. It's not like you can just leave a message when you're working with a timescale like that.

I am not sure, it is possible though.

Jeebus I hope so. There's not a whole lot of intelligent life on the planet I inhabit.

I think this is certainly a possibility.

by Vee

No, I don't think so.
