    Hi Nightfox!

    I don't subscribe to secular schools of thought. I do not believe there are flesh and blood aliens but demonic manifestations.
    I just think that if life developed on our planet, I think it's
    certainly possible that flesh-and-blood life could have developed on
    other planets, if the conditions are right..
    If the conditions are right.. seems like even then the conditions have to line up perfectly for intelligent life to come forth. Given the apparent chaotic universe, then every planet that has intelligent life must be very *to infinity* lucky.

    Just my $0.02 worth :)


    Cheers,
    Bryan

    I've heard astronomers keep finding more and more planets in the habitable zone around their suns.. But yeah, there's certainly more than that needed for life to develop - but what actually sparks life, I think, is still somewhat unknown.

    Diseases? Well, yeah, I suppose a life form that hasn't been exposed to our
    viruses and bacteria might be more susceptible to the diseases on this planet..

    who's to say those same beings are not the ones responsible for
    putting those viruses and bacteria on our planet to begin with? at
    least that is what part of the ancient astronaut theory states. but,
    i am not going to open up that can of worms :)

    would be sweet to see some life from another planet. alien kitties...
    so cuddly and yet so foreign!

    Although a few planets in our solar system have some life-sustaining properties, it might still be difficult to sustain life on them. It

    I was thinking more along the lines of some of the moons like Enceladus,
    Titan, Europa, as far as our solar system goes. But we're just one solar system of almost an infinite number!

    I've heard some of the moons in our solar system might support life. And I agree, we're just one solar system of many. Astronomers keep discovering more and more planets and solar systems, so it seems we're getting closer all the time to potentially confirming there is extraterrestrial life.

    I've heard some of the moons in our solar system might support life. And I agree, we're just one solar system of many. Astronomers keep discovering more
    and more planets and solar systems, so it seems we're getting closer all the time to potentially confirming there is extraterrestrial life.

    And I think that the more technology advances, the more of a chance we will learn that we are indeed not alone in our great big universe.

    Best regards, Robert.
