[quote author=KingEbukasBlog post=38612996][/quote] I've heard of it but I haven't seen it. Dunno what it's about. What is the supposed mission of the aliens/set of aliens? |

KingEbukasBlog: that my conclusion is false assumptions to u is ur business..ur own assumptions too..this is just an interactive thread the vastness of the universe got nothing to do with life on mars or any other planet, if the factors necessary for life are absent there can never be life as we know it. I have no regard for Christianity, so I don't know why you should mention that oh, actually natural selection does distance from a major star, adequate amount of essential elements, the planet's magnetic field... just to mention a few all these factors need to be in perfect place to have what earth has 1 Like |

I believe life exists in other planets buh nt in d form we expect....cos we cn see, touch nd Mk contact with all forms of life here on earth doesn't automatically mean we cn do such in other planets....every planets wit her own rules....cld be dat dis extraterrestrials radiate higher spectrums dat d human eye nd techs cnt perceive 2 Likes 1 Share |

macof: As a matter of fact bro you shouldn't conclude because such conclusions beclouds the possibilities of what may be or not. There is a lot the universe can teach us so don't make absolute conclusions...
Vastness of the universe suggest billions out of the trillions of planets on it might be habitable and possibly harbour life... True
I believe what you are trying to point out here is the Goldilocks zone, water and breathable atmosphere.. Well billions of planets actually are on the Goldilocks zone of their respective parent stars. Water probably is one of the characteristics man has unidentified with rocky terrestrial planets. Mercury, Venus has polar ice, earth has a lot of water, Mars used to but still has a little, Jupiter's moon Ganymede has, Europa is speculated to contain twice as much waters in the earth's ocean under it's ice surface.. I think the possibility of ancient life forms are quite loud.……… 1 Like |

johnydon22:well, am not denying the possibility of alien life but by what is available to us now, I settle for No aliens argument, I just think all the factors responsible for life on earth has to be present with other planets for them to contain life as we know it. Humans after all started out in east Africa before spreading , so why can't sentient beings start from earth? Don't ever think you know nature so well. It wouldn't surprise me if am wrong tho |

Teempakguy: Hinduism is the first organized religion known to man but rituals like marking the grave of a dear one has been present in early humans 50,000years ago. It's no doubt politics and religion are both constructs of organized societies. . So we should be looking back back to the earliest civilizations to place a guess on when this concept of deities might have developed. the issue of them being ET remains arguable Earth's caves are as a result of geological weathering so i anticipate other rocky planets might also have caves. datas gathered by curiosity rover shows that Mars has a moist soil when you dig a few inches deep and dark craters within the surface might possibly be wet... Hypothesized that Mars atmosphere was destroyed from an impact with a celestial body prolly an asteroid. . .The Co2 might have been as a result of that impact.. The possibility lean on both ways (who wouldn't be excited meeting an interstellar neighbour..) Also depends on the height of their advancement and the circumstances surrounding the meeting... I highly doubt that but signs are language that can be understood well, seeing and knowing what they look like first is the main thing before communication barrier.. It would be a drastic impact mostly on world religions because it might help man ascertain the right chemical and biological interactions under the right condition that may lead to life, thus answering the question on the emergence of life. I doubt if religions would recover from such severe blows . . .It would also affect world politics, education and science ... It is possible too... According to conspiracy theorists to protect the government/religious Mass control schemes. . Lol.. for me i think they could just tell us...see no reason why they should hold back except first the need to prepare the masses psychologically for such information Hope we aint gonna get second letter to the Corinthians when you get back 1 Like 3 Shares |

macof:Other life forms in other planets might have emerged due to the interactions of elements within the environment and so just like life on earth might develop features to adapt. . That we need/breathe oxygen doesn't mean other life forms in other planets must need oxygen, their own needed respiratory element might be different and even dangerous to us.. why can't they start from Mars too? . . i think discovering alien life form on Mars possibly in microbile form might help man deduct the formations of life from natural interactions within the environment. Have read some crazy theory that suggested ancient human ancestors were marsians who had to flee the planet after what ever it is that left the planet scarred and desolate.. but i take it as just another crazy conpsiracy theory by crazy minds This is my point why i said do not make absolute conclusions. There is no stipulated way nature must conform to in relation to different levels of interactions. Nature gives from the result of the interactions and so can yield results unrelated to what you are used to. . even here on planet earth... we have bats that see from sonic waves while man is still fantasizing about that ability.. 1 Like |

johnydon22:You are right brother, they may be biological engineering might be far different from ours, maybe they exist in another dimension, at different energy levels just like the jinns( dunno if you believe in them).. maybe these are the major reasons we are yet to find them.. My thoughts what if they exist in an unstable and invisible planet, that keeps teleporting from one location to the other 1 Like |

johnydon22:hehe was only joking with the teleporting stuff... I just don't understand the deterring factors keeping us from finding them since.. lets hope mars points us in the right direction... And for the jinns, I believe in their existence.. maybe the jinns are even the aliens.. who knows |
Re: Possibility Of Alien Life (discussion Thread) by Blakjewelry(m): 11:09am On Oct 03, 2015 |
macof:The possibility of complex and intelligent life from existing on other planet and system is highly possible but not Mars. If earth earth were to be in state Mars is now for a billion or 2 years, the only form of life capable of surviving on such hash conditions are bacteria |

KingEbukasBlog:Hawkins is right to a great extent. First nasa only keep close tag on objects that are moving in a trajectory that might bring them close or on a part that put them on a collusion course with earth. There are many object orbiting inside our solar system, though nasa try to keep tagged you can't be certain when and unexpected guy popup from now for example some bad guys do not show up on radar until they extremely close. Secondly on the alien invasion thing, I will go with three assumption. Any civilization that is advance enough to conquer space will be mentally advance enough to pursue such goal for scientific and research purpose except 2.if they face examination in their home world, even at that I believe they will understand the need for self preservation meaning the people of earth will fight with everything they have, which means they might end up been extinct. So why not look for a young planet with no intelligent life form. 3. Treasure hunters. Space treasure seekers, though in future there might space nomad but I think there are a lot of dead planet with a lot gold, diamond, uranium etc why going through a lot of trouble battling the people of earth. The only bad guys I dread the most is the future of A.I. The future is going to be interesting with robot, I believe the last thing standing on this planet is going to be robots. In the future if we can fully understand how the the human mind works who knows we might even upload our minds into a machine 2 Likes 2 Shares |

bqlekan:Lack of sophisticated technology to achieve that herculean task. . man has only been able to go to the moon of all the celestial objects out there not to talk of distance barrier of which we have to find a way to travel with the speed of light. . If Jinns are Aliens then they are material entities (Natural life forms different from us) and this kills the spirity mumbo jumbo... |
Re: Possibility Of Alien Life (discussion Thread) by bqlekan(m): 12:09pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
johnydon22:Speed of light you say lets hope we achieve that in the next 2millennia And I hope the jinns turn out to be the aliens... atleast we can stop looking for them |

Aliens definately exist, the issue is their complexity in terms of intelligence, cellular composition etc. Too much television has made many believe aliens will be most likely 'unfriendly'. However for any life form to develop a means of interstellar transportation and visit 'other civilizations' most likely means they'll be less violent or very 'enlightened'. The more knowledge a specie has, the less violent they become! However, if humans will ever be destroyed and exterminated, it'll be by their own SELF attribute and this might surprise you; ADVANCEMENT! The more knowledgeable a specie becomes, the more complacent and libral they becomes. In the end, our FREEDOM and LIBERTY if based on our SELFISH nature will put an end to humanity!!!

bqlekan:i think that anything on a 'higher energy level' doesn't even exist/cannot exist in this universe and therefore is outside the realm of what we are looking for. which is alien lifeform in this universe. if we can find bacteria life on mars, it will go a long way to prove what life really is. of course, religion will find a way to cirumnavigate around that as well. |
