President Bush suggests posibility of alien life

[Hamma]

Rev, you continue to lower to the point of name calling, and it frankly sickens me.

Please, learn how to play well with others.

I have a list of trolls and you are inching your way to that list.

Yeah you dont wanna join us ,its a deep pit and hella hard to get out

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Said pit doubles as my urinal

Ummm first of all I would just like to say that this topic of which Bush is talking is very vague. What we picture as "Alien life" is like little green things with one eye and stuff, things that resemble something like an animal or a human or something.

However, if there is some kind of Alien life as Bush says (although I think that Bush is a complete idiot and has no clue what he's talking about, probably something that was taken out of context from one of his advisors) this "alien life" would probably be something like bacteria or something microscopic and extremely primitive, in order for it to be able to survive on a planet in such conditions that most other planets have, such as no gravity, no oxygen, no water, extreme heat, extreme cold.

Therefore the "alien life" is probably something that nobody would care about except for the reason that it is technically "alive" and on another planet.

The way I see it is that Bush is trying to prepare us or use some kind of propaganda for something he's going to do, it's all political I tell you!

I hope I haven't brewed too many enemies due to my views on "W" because this is a computer game and RL politics has nothing to do with it, so don't hate me as a game player for my views. Let's agree to disagree =).

Well... There is no life in the universe:

If there are an infinite number of planets and a limited number of habitible planets, thats:

habitable planets limited
---------------------- = ---------------- = 0
planets infinite



Therefore, the inhabitants of the universe are only the imagination of a deranged mind.

I actually believe that chances are that we are the only intelligent life. Life is classified under these 6 characteristics

Cells

All living things are composed of one or more cells.

Different types of cells have different "jobs" within the organism. Each life form begins from one cell, which then will split. These cells split, and so on. After this has happened several times, differentiation is undergone, when the cells change so that they are not the same thing anymore. Then they are used to begin to put together the final organism, some cells, for example, as the eyes, some as the heart, etc. The only arguable exception to this is viruses. They are not composed of cells, but are said to be "living."

- Organization

Complex organization patterns are found in all living organisms. They arrange themselves on very small levels, grouping like things together. On larger levels, they become visible. This also has to do with differentiation, as the cells are organized in a manner that makes sense for the organism after they change to what they�ll be in the final organism.

- Energy Use

All organisms use energy. The sum of the chemical energy they use is called metabolism. This energy is used to carry out everything they do. Autotrophs (plants) use energy from the sun for photosynthesis, to make their own �food� (glucose). Heterotrophs (animals and humans) must ingest food for this purpose.

- Homeostasis

All organisms have stable internal conditions which must be maintained in order to remain alive. These include temperature, water content, heartbeat, and other such things. In a way, this has to do with energy use, because a certain level of energy must be kept within the body at all times. For this, obviously, humans must then ingest food on a regular basis. Not all conditions are for the body to maintain itself; though most are.

- Growth

All organisms grow and change. Cells divide to form new, identical cells. Differentiation happens, as well, when cells mutate into other types of cells, making a more complex organism. Organisms growing, changing, and becoming more complex is called development. Single-celled organisms do grow as well, but they will only become slightly larger � this is nearly unmeasurable.

- Reproduction

All organisms reproduce in order to continue the species' life. This is combining genetic information (in sexual reproduction) or splitting into two organisms (in asexual reproduction) in order to create another of the same species. In sexual reproduction, the new organism will have some characteristics from the mother, and some from father. It may look like either of them, or it may not. In asexual reproduction, the new organism is an exact copy of the first. Sometimes, not every member of a species is able to reproduce. As long as others are (which we know they can, if they still exist today) then it does not threaten the species.

Who says that Life exists on other planets? We are also limited to our 5 senses. There can obivously be more than what we can see,taste,touch,hear, and smell. We may not be able to pick up on these other forms of existence. For all we know there are millions of intelligent species crawling over the earth. Life may not exist but there could be somthing else like a booperblanop (pardon my french) That is a gas cloud that is extremely smart but can't effect us and we can't effect it.

I think that would be a conflict of intrests

[Nohimn]

I'm on that list... I know it... I don't think Bighoss and ABRAXAAS are on it though...

[Bighoss]

Somone respond to my post above !!!

[Mtx]

Die!

If we have no way of interacting, detecting, or recognising it, then for all intents and purposes it might as well not exist.

What confused you?

[ABRAXAAS]

If we have no way of interacting, detecting, or recognising it, then for all intents and purposes ...well the same could be said about us by that verey thing wich we do not know, but we should always keep our minds open to the possibilty IE: thinking outside the box
