The massiveness of the still evolving universe we live in, billions of galaxies made up of trillions of stars and planets scattered all around it.

Man knows the possibility that it is the only living being in this universe is impossible but yet man still lacks the means to locate or discover these other possible life forms.

They may even be other terrestrial life forms out there trying to reach us to like we are trying to reach them.

One of Jupiter's main moons; Ganymede have shown to possess water probably salt water.

And this have added it to the list of strong candidate planets for the possibility of extra-terrestrial life..

They are more than a billion planets located in habitable zones in our galaxy and other observable galaxies are in the list of possible life habitats.


Whats your take on this ??

Another one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, is believed to hold even more water than the earth does.



It's incredible that our solar system alone already holds multiple potential life-holding planets besides earth. How much more the Milky Way, as well as the entire universe?

Someone needs to invent the elixir of immortality so I live to witness that Star Trek life.

evidences gathered by the mars rover that was lunched into mars shows that mars had ancient water. layers of rocks washed and gullied by evident rushing water ways and possible ancient lakes...

below is a pic taken by the mars curiousity rover of such rocks..

i don't believe there is life out there,..I know there is life out there! we just need more technology to explore & discover, the possibilities are unthinkable & endless

that is it my brother.. thats why i mentioned above that the possibility that we are alone in this whole universe is impossible.. i know we will get results soon enough.

I once read on the net that algae was found on Mars, on a rock specifically. Gonna provide the link if I come across it again. But it's really odd to think we are the only living things in this damn big universe, not even when UFOs are being sighted.

Johydonn2 u seem to have interest & believe like myself in astronomy & life outside Earth, i have always loved astronomy & have always been attracted to the universe from childhood, its my passion, finding life outside , meeting ETs,..sometimes when i talk to people about it, they just think am crazy or never take me serious , its so sad to see pple restrict their minds to the clouds. nice to meet you too

@ proton & johydonn2, maybe we will need to redefine life, redefine it out of what we know, because life out there might not be familiar to us as life on earth. The life seen in a given planet X would be a function of the parameters that exist in planet X,such parameters would be different or alien to what we have here on Earth.

curiousity rover on mars have provided us with much information from mars.. looking at mars its hard to differentiate from what we have here talk of landscape.. first pic is curiousity rover selfie in mars

Layers found in rocks shows evidence of ancient lakes that existed millions of years back shown in the second pic

Third pic is a pic of solidified water found on mars mainly methane tho..

that is it exactly and i think scientist have that in mind..

have a dream of visiting space ond day bro. . . and maybe visit mars too with this new technology invented that will be taken to mars soon that will allow scientist to be in mars without visiting it.. (like when you make call, a blueprint image of the person you called appears before you like we always see in some science fiction movies..) its now reality and i think this technology will redefine human telecommunications too.. below is a pic rendering of the new telecom tech

Yh, true. It'd be different here on earth. It takes time and intelligence to comprehend life "out" there. And scientists are on it, I deem.

H2O and CH4 give the possibility of life. Those pics give undisputable evidence that water and running water did exist on Mars.

And you know what, if eventually scientists get an incontrovertible evidence that life exists/existed on Mars, religion collaspes.

I am betting on the possibility of life here in our local solar system.. just in our milky way galaxy millions of planets that in the habitable zone orbiting their respective parent stars have been detected..

It's not even about religion collasping.. its about the priceless wealth of knowledge it will unravel. . . I am eagaly awaiting this to happen and i hope to be part of the team unravelling this knowledge soon..

i love this life @pic and i hope to be there soon

that number rounds in billions when the possible habitable planets outside our own galaxy are included.. all we need now is the tech to detect the result we are searching for..

I do hope you are aware that there is recruitment going on right now for those who want to take the maiden voyage to Mars?

5minsmadness:

Because they fundamentally teach that the earth is the center of the universe, i.e the only place where life and all exist.

A great scientist once said the most irrefutable proof of life in outer space is that they have 'not' tried to contact us.

Pr0ton:

Pls who is 'they' and when did they say so?

5minsmadness:

Haha.. Christians and co. Though they don't explictly state so, but it can be safely infer from their holy books. Ok First, Genesis's universe is only the heaven, earth, stars, sun and moon. There's no room for other planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids and the likes.

Second, the whole theology is strictly for this earth alone. The only living beings the Bible recognizes is the ones that generated from Adam. No room for ETs. They are utterly ignorant of it or do not teach it.

Any Christian that believes there are no extra-terrestials because 'the Bible didn't say so' must be extremely myopic.

To begin with, the bible does mention extraterrestrials. God himself is not of this earth. Then there are cherubim and seraphim, angels and demons. All the above are not of this earth and can be deemed 'extra-terrestial'.

Secondly, the Bible is a message given to this earth but not exclusively. I read a book a long time ago about a second eden on another planet where another Adam was not deceived into eating the forbidden fruit. I don't read those kind of book anymore sha but even without that example it is obvious the bible centres more on man's salvation on this earth alone. It doesn't mean God didn't continue creation elsewhere, what would be the point of creating all the other stars and solar systems?

Naaah i dont want to go to mars yet, until i know it is 157% safe and i can still come back to my earth. . i want to be an astronomer in space not go to mars voyage to establish a human colony. . maybe in the nearest future a trip to mars might be as easy as going to the U.S then i will go and check it out.

please let us not argue religion here. . lets discuss the topic at hand.
Btw speaking of extra-terrestrial we are talking of physical life forms, all this you mentioned cherubim and co are termed spirits.

And you know them to be spirits how? How r u not sure they are extra-terrestrial beings that ancient man called spirits?

I don't believe their is anything like spirits as you may well know already.

If you are now likening your god and cherubs to extra-terrestrials in a far distant planet then i guess Mormonism and Scientology will fit you well bro.

5minsmadness (this your name sef)

Wouldn't it have been more cool and rational of God if He had included "His creation of the other planets and galaxies with their number" into His inspired book of creation (i.e Genesis 1) ? Why only heaven and earth?

No. He didn't. He Himself was ignorant of it. Or, more rational to say, the book was written by primitive ignorant men.

And again, where does the Bible say angels stay? other planets or heaven? Habitable places in galaxies or hell?

we can argue here as long as it is constructive, no name calling, respect the other man, but lets also not change the thread o.
Now am a christian , but seriously that book (Bible) must have been written by ignorant men, pay attention to it, but not too much attention. e.g when you see heavens in the bible, it means skyyyyyyyyy o.the heavens meant the sky.
Yes God must be ET. confirmed! he is not of the earth. rockets & space shuttles may have been miss understood & called chariots of fire. (think about it). imagine john seeing a rocket blasting off with fumes & flames & all that trembling like we experience to day in any given runway or airfield. those folks miss understood.
when ever NASA is ready to drop humans on mars i would want to volunteer, i wont be able to tell what sort of experience it would be to look back at earth from space or walk the dusty rocks of the red planet, chai! it would give a whole new perspective to life. that brings me to religion once again,.........The Vatican came out in 2008 through the chief scientist of the Vatican observatory say they would be open to the existence of ETs, that the existence of ETs, should not conflict with the beleive in God. if you ask me , that was a smart move, because whether we like it or not, the presence of ETs or evidence of life or life existence else apart from earth would question & do damage to religion , and the Vatican city no that in their minds & they also know it wont be long before NASA or some other group or body makes an announcement especially with the increased progress in exploration .
And yes i beleive in UFOs too, i beleive we have been visited in past & those visitations are still happenening.
