              I have seen several ads for them here, but I may be mistaken, as they may not have been released yet. Phillips and all the major manufacturers are making them. Here is an ad for one I saw in Australia.

              The 50-inch Panasonic VIERA VT20 Plasma 3D HDTV unveiled by Best Buy on Wednesday is priced at around $2,500, with accompanying eyewear costing about $150 a pair.

    I think the odds are highly in favour of there being other life out there, I remember one of the big sci-fi writers once took the probability of life emerging, and the number of estimated planets with an earth like distance to sun and containing water, he came up with something like 3 million other possible higher races.  This did not include the possiblity that life might be able to survive on worlds hostile to human like evolution, hotter, colder, etc.

    Unfortunately the chances of any one species meeting another are infinitesimally small.

    I am never going to get any sleep. I was going, honest. But I am an extraterrestrial, all redheads are. I was told this by some redheads when I had my tonsils out when I was twelve. They had the whole operating room staffed by redheads, including the doc, and said that was because we couldn't risk being operated on by terrestrials.

    Of course when the doc saw my hair he thought it was a joke, and had to be coaxed back in to do the surgery... big_smile

              Your belief is false, because it is an unfounded belief and has nothing to do with physics.

    Logic dictates that we cannot be alone in the vastness of the universe.  I would even go so far as to say we are not alone in our own galaxy.

    Will we ever meet; highly unlikely given the sheer distances involved?  Which is, in my humble opinion, probably just as well;  and while we are at it can we stop shouting ; “Cooeee, we’re over here,” out in every direction of space until we know who; or what we are shouting at.

    Allowing for the fact that the ’Big Bang’ is generally how we conceive the whole universe started. So the further away from the original explosion you are the older you are.  Therefore by that equation  those further out than us are older, wiser and probably  a teeny weenie bit more advanced than us.

    Which could mean, that if they object to all the childish noise we are making ; they could, just could pop over here and kick the crap out of us.

    Nor, I might add; just because we are making, what we think are,  friendly noises doesn’t mean that anybody out there wants to be our friend.

    They might look upon us as food !

                So, you don't take any wisdom or enlightenmet from Buddha; you take enlightenment from Christie Haskell, 2010 ; which is totally wrong. You say, "I have a brain of my own you know. I do think for myself, and formulate my own ideas that someone else hasn't told me think"; here you have borrowed from Christie Haskell, 2010 ; and have not thought yourself for you.

                So, your Buddha does not guide you, when you need him; might be your Buddha is a fiction or just a decoration piece or you have lost Word from him.

        I think you are referring to the "The Devil in the Dark"  from Season One of Star Trek TOS.  They are in a mine, and Spock mind melds with the creature.  It's where the "No Kill I" quote comes from.  They find out that the silicon spheres the people working in the mine have been destroying are actually her eggs.  They didn't give the creature a species name, but she called herself Horta.

        Nimoy's overacting of the mind meld is hilarious.

    Shil1978posted 13 years ago

    Well, I guess that depends on whether one is talking about just "life" or specifically "intelligent life." I would think "life" could be pretty common, or at least there could be a higher likelihood of it existing in the universe. Intelligent life though, I think, might be less common, may not exist too. This of course is a belief, not based on anything tangible!

    For humans to have evolved and, more importantly, survived into what we are now - we needed luck and quite a number of things to go our way and in a particular order too, which did happen. So, in a sense, in our specific case, you could say we were 'lucky.'

    What we do not know till now is whether life is something that is bound to exist given a certain set of conditions, or whether it is just a quirk. We need to know much, much more to answer this question with more conviction. Till then, it will only exist in the realm of beliefs!

      Many truths or facts, along with inventions, have previously been considered Sci-Fi.  The main point, with or without an open mind or imagination, is:  it would virtually be mathematically impossible for this to be the only planet with life.

    Close Encounters and Fire In the Sky are good film presentations of the extra-terrestrial concept, but hardly useful evidence in the court of examination.

    I believe in ETs. The disclosure project (you can watch it on YouTube or Google Video) was the slam dunk proof that I needed. Now I'm just upset with the government and frustrated with public apathy. The disclosure project was held in May of 2001, and Nasa employee's, government employee's and contracted civilians working at government facilities came forward and testified that they would be willing to go up in front of the Supreme court and swear that they have first hand knowledge that UFOs and ETs exist. They are real and here now. Now I don't know about anyone else, but that's a big deal in my opinion. Because if witness testimony is no longer evidence - then perhaps every murder, rapist and thief put in jail on witness testimony, should be released from prison. Just a thought...

      No, they aren't.



      Eyewitness testimonies do not hold water in court without hard evidence. There is no hard evidence for alien visitations, not a single shred.

        I tend to agree with you, Q:  people can  "testify"  to seeing Superman in front of Congress.  The hard physical proof needed to back up extraterrestrial existence claims is yet missing, however.
        Intelligent life exists throughout the spirit realm.   The popular view that insists we can't be the only intelligent lifeforms in existence is thus answered.  The assertion that we can NOT be the only intelligent lifeforms in existence because the universe is vast is nothing more than speculation based upon insupportable logic.  Or wishful thinking.
        The fact is that, after all the speculating and hypothesizing is done, NO CLEAR PROOF OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFEFORMS OTHER THAN SPIRITS EXISTS.   But of course, people are free to believe as they wish.

    There is much "hard evidence" that ET's exist, but it has been suppressed and kept out of mainstream knowledge.

    As an aside, what do you consider to be valid, hard evidence?

    An Interview on CNN with an ET perhaps? A personal visit from one at your home? 900 scientistsd saying that they are real (just like they said man-made global warming was real:)).  Who do you trust, what do you believe?

    In the end it comes down to personal choice.

          The statement about scientists and their claims stands true, and I did actually think about it.

          I'm unconcerned with CNN, and have no worry about an ET knocking on my door.  Most likely the knock from an  "ET"  would appear at your own door, since you've already prepared yourself to receive such a visit from them.

          My eyes are already opened, because I discern fact from ET fiction and reality from the ET wishing post.  They can also see  what does NOT go on in the world---proof of ET existence, for instance.  The day my eyes would be opened to believe in ETs is the same day they'd become as completely shut as the eyes of those who beat me to it.   

          If, as you say, there's only personal choice in the end, what's the point of insisting that ETs exist without also providing proof that they do?

    As for hard evidence, the burden of proof is not on unbelievers in extraterrestrials.   If there really IS such evidence, where is it?     What 900--or even 9,000--"scientists"  claim as real does not create reality in the absence of proof.   There are good examples of that fact throughout the history of science.

    Watching an interview on CNN with an  "ET"  would do fine as proof for people who already believe in them.   And I'm sure a personal visit from one would impress them as well.   But what would be significant about either event if the supposed ETs could not be shown, by physical examination and demonstrations of authentic advanced abilities, to actually be what they seemed to be?

    Until such time arrives one's personal belief in ETs is indeed a matter of choice.   But that remains a far cry from proof that such beliefs are matters of fact.

    1. sannyasinman profile image60
      sannyasinmanposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      So hard evidence is "physical examination and demonstrations of authentic advanced abilities".

      By whom? And would you believe what you saw, or what they told you anyway? It all depends on the perceived credibilty of the organisation or person presenting the proof, and whether you choose to believe them or not.

      Indian Yogi's can have authentic advanced abilities. People see these with their own eyes and still don't believe it. So my question is valid. Would you believe it if you had a personal experience of an ET? Probably not. You would find a way to convince yourself that is was not real. 

      Apparently countless thousands of reports of sightings, abductions, and other encounters by ordinary poeple from all over the world and all walks of life, do not amount to anything.

      So who has to see, say or do what, for it to be "real".

        No one has to say or do anything, that is the point.

        Of course, one only has to understand the physical logistics of interstellar travel to also understand it is highly unlikely we are being visited.

          So tell me, what are your criteria for something to be "real"?

          As for interstellar travel, if you cannot conceive of anything being possible outside of what we can already actually do or what we know to be "true" by current scienctific "fact", then it would be difficult.

          However, it just might be possible for things to exist which we cannot see, hear, taste, smell or feel -  or scientifically prove - yet, including travel across time and space. Can you accept this?

          And if not, then take a look at what Quantum Physics is now discovering . . .

            (Q)posted 13 years agoin reply to this

            I don't personally define reality, sorry.



            To conceive of interstellar travel has nothing to do with the problems of interstellar travel.



            What I accept about things that exist or don't exist has nothing to do with the problems of interstellar travel. Those who rely on what they believe and what they don't believe about the world around them are often wrong.



            I suspect you haven't a clue as to what Quantum field theory entails. Nice wild goose chase, though.

    Forgetting all alien visitations, space crafts, Nibiru and all the new age thing.. Let's be very honest. Simple logic says that out of the billions of galaxies in the universe, and for a billion stars in each galaxy,  we just cannot be alone There will be at least 10 civilizations out there somewhere in the universe. Forget little green men with lizard faces or humanoids. But even a simple insect on another planet becomes an extra-terrestrial.. Have they visited us or will we ever visit them? No one knows. But are they there a billion light years away? I bet there are. In fact, being a person who believes in science, I find it stupid not to believe in extra-terrestrials.
