Why Life Like Us
Preamble
In a previous hub of mine, I spoke of a researcher claiming to have found signs of life on Venus.
In the comments later, I happened to mention how I thought that our agencies may have already missed some signs of alien life. I was asked to give reasons for my line of thought and so decided to write this hub in response.
- Found: Life on Venus?
The web in Russia is alive with reports that a researcher from the Russian Academy of Sciences has proof of life on Venus. This does not appear to be a hoax, so why when the photographic evidence is 30 years old, are we only hearing about it now? Wha
Thoughts
We know that there are billions and billions of stars in the universe. It is now thought that there are even more planets than there are stars.
Many believe that somewhere in the universe there must be other life forms. I agree and think that there are probably more than most people think.
We have not even ventured outside of our own solar system, yet our “experts” consider themselves qualified to determine on which planets life could exist.
I believe these experts are blinded by their own knowledge, or lack of. They are only qualified to maybe determine which planets life LIKE OURS could exist.
- Do Snakes Prove Ancient Aliens?
Some of the ancient Sumerian stories seem unbelievable. What if they were true?
Life
Search
To take this one step further. If they are only looking for life like ours, then they could have missed other forms of life nearer to home, such as on one of the planets or moons within our own solar system.
Let’s face it; it is believed that we have only found one third of the total number of life forms on our own planet, many of the unfound ones being mammals. Scientists only recently discovered life at a volcanoes edge and in an acid lake, why? Because they hadn’t looked because they didn’t believe that life could exist there.
To me, this means that they are being very blinkered. They are only looking where they believe life could exist.
The question is often asked. Why should we be the only ones in the universe? I ask: why should we have the monopoly on how life should be?
Perhaps other life forms are not carbon based, do not need oxygen, can withstand great heat or cold.
Just because we cannot survive without water and know of nothing that can, does not mean that unknown life forms cannot.
Sure, they can search the “Goldilocks Zones” first but do it with an open mind. Don’t say that there is no life on Mars; say there is no life AS WE KNOW IT on Mars.
I hope this helps to answer the request.

Now that the UN has appointed an Ambassador for Aliens we must ask why? What is it they know that we don't? What does it mean to our future? - What Do We Know about Space
Our knowledge of space is limited to what we are told. We have no way to verify these statements. Are we being told the truth and how much is there that they are not telling us? - Aliens Grave Found in Africa
An alien graveyard has been found in Africa. Once again, as in other similar cases, after one immediate report, secrecy seems to take over. What is it that the authorities do not want us to know and why? - Water on Mars: What Could it Mean?
