First and foremost are the laws of physics, specifically the speed of light. It can not be exceeded by a physical object and still maintain atomic integrity. This plainly makes travel over any significant distance impossible. Ok, so because the speed of light has not yet been achieved by the human race, aliens cannot exsist? Did I miss something here or are you telling me that the human race has to be "the most intelegent" life ever? Maybe, we are slower than (alien) life form and they are moving at many times the speed of light.
"Well, what about our own solar system?" you may ask. Please. Do you really think there are little green men coming down to abduct farmers in the midwest? This is reality, people, not the X-Files. Quit dreaming. What does this have to do with the article?
"You can believe in a higher power - as a matter of fact you should " Why should I? I can believe anything that I want. And im sorry, but people that attempt to force this theory that I should believe in a higher power upon me are the reason that I cannot believe in a higher power.
Points to consider in favor of extra terrestrial life:
1. We would have to be very conceeded if we believe that we are the only ones that can be alive in this huge expanse of our universe.
2. Elements that we say are required to sustain life here on earth are in huge abundance in various other planets that we know of, let alone in pockets of gassesous clouds through out space.
3. The human race and varous other animal and plant life here on earth have proven that we can adapt to and overcome any obsticles to our survival.
Just because we havent seen aliens doesnt mean that they are not there. Just because I havent seen God, doesnt mean he isnt there.
