Do aliens exist?

Do you think we are alone in the universe?
Are we alone in the universe? There is an enormous amount of room in outer space, so what is the probability that humans are the only form of intelligent life in the whole universe? Many people have reported seeing aliens and some have told their stories of how they were abducted by aliens. Some may argue that it was their imagination, they seen a weather balloon or maybe it is true.
Now if there is such thing as an alien, what would make it an alien? Let’s keep the definition simple for what an alien is. Let’s consider them to be any living being that are capable of creating tools and machines. These beings should have the ability to one day (or already) be able to achieve some form of space travel.
Some may wonder if they are already out there watching everything that humans do. Perhaps there is no such thing, and earth is the only place in the universe that supports life. Maybe there are aliens out there, but just are unable to travel the vast distance to visit us.
What are your thoughts and reasons behind why you do or do not think there are aliens out there?

There is a lot, I mean A LOT we do not know about the universe. We honestly can not say there are aliens, or that they do not exist.
The thing I look at is that if the universe is infinite, then mathmatically there has to be another planet out there with intellignet life.

It’s something we don’t know for sure. We may not have found aliens on other planets yet but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. The universe is huge and humans will never be able to explore it all so we may never know the answer to this question. I think it is a little niave to assume other life forms would need the same things we do (air, water) to survive. There very well may be other life out there…and others might even be more intelligent that we are!

There are absolutely no such things as aliens. In every non-fiction book, it mentions that through the method of Science experiments, there are no such things as any living thing that can live in a place without oxygen.
