Are there Alien Dudes out there?

[DigitalBuddha]

Was wondering how many earth dudes believe that there are alien dudes out there? And what is it that you believe and why?



Wikileaks to disclose ET life. First contact soon?

Get abducted here and party with an alien dude - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhEZLnasaug&feature=related

There's Aliens all around us man.....I don't think they're ET though...have you ever looked at a Humbold squid?

Planet Ark?

Well dude, we just don't know. Without evidence, we can't say for sure. But - personally, I don't believe we just sprung out of nowhere. Meaning, it's always been my contention that DNA came from somewhere else; that it's more than an accident of nature. Meaning, there's life elsewhere in this huge massive universe. I won't get into the "where did it all begin" arguments that the religious right like to use to argue against evolution, which I believe of course, but I will say there's a bit of magic behind that amazing stuff we call DNA. The earth is in fact millions and millions of years old - I can't believe anyone who says otherwise.

A long-winded way of saying, yup dude - we're not the only ones here.

Gotta agree with Hominid on this one.  Considering the size of the universe in which we live, I think it's pretty arrogant for humans to think we're the only intelligent life in existence.

Whether or not they're Dudes...well, as far as I know I've never met an extraterrestrial, so I couldn't say.  I would hope our official "first contact" will be one of peace rather than the hostile/domination/eradication version presented in most Hollywood movies, but we'll have to wait and see.  As for the whole "anal probing" thing, I think this dialogue from the movie Paul sums it up best:  "Why does everyone always assume that?  What am I doing?  Am I harvesting farts?  How much can I learn from an ass?" 

[Hominid]

Harvesting farts... OK, that's funny..

     The universe is an extremely vast amount of space with millions of millions of planets, asteroids and stars, etc. To think that there's no life at all but ours in this huge place is a bit small minded IMHO. Not sure if there are alien dudeists though, I guess it depends on what their culture is like. It'd be cool if there were
     
    And who's to say it has to be upright bipeds with ridiculously advanced technology? Sure we've got the saucer-folk flying over (debatable, but possible), but there could also be single-cell critters on several planets that have only just begun developing. After all, life took a couple million years to develop on our planet. And these critters might be right next door to our galaxy, or they could be several thousand light-years away. It's all up in the air, dude. You could speculate until you're blue in the face.

Sometimes I think Douglas Adams got it right and the Universe is teaming with weird life. Funny thing is that they, the alien dudes in Adam's view, see us Earthling dudes as "mostly harmless," and Earth as "a great place to buzz."

I tend to think that if there is a God, why would God dude create a universe as fucking big as the one we abide in and stick everything the dude created on one tiny "pale blue dot," as Karl Sagan has called our planet, and place no life anywhere else? WTF?! Doesn't make sense.

I have also thought that aliens, given how we as a species act...wars, humans exploiting each other and acting in a decidedly undude manner, may see no reason to bring us into the "galactic club" thinking to themselves "who wants those crazy fucks hanging around us? Mark it zero! We''ll talk to them when they get their shit together."

DB.....   couldnt of said it better myself dude, who the fuck would want to be round the undude humans of this planet.... when you stop and think of what some people do to each other (rape, torture, lie, cheat, steal, murder, insest, child fidlers, extreme religious terrorism, etc etc... not to mention the people that dont bowl.... no wonder we get left alone!, the alien dudes probably think we're crazy fucks and leave them to their self destruction!.....

its all possible dude its all possible, i think alot of the human race are so far up their ass's they dismiss this possibility and laugh it off.... they are not dudes...

[Hominid]

DB, tiem, you're right on. And take it a step further... besides man's inhumanity to man on a personal level, look what we're doing to ourselves on a political level, with all these nukes pointed at each other, AND what we're doing to the environment. The people who give a shit don't have the power to change things, and those that do don't give a shit about our future, just the next quarter's financials or whether or not they get elected. Power corrupts. Until we get our shit together, it'll be hands-off from any other intelligent life, which I'm sure is out there somewhere.

Think of this: two different intelligent life forms have evolved here... us, and dolphins, which says a LOT for the positive power of evolution. Dolphins and whales are very intelligent, but their societal development has shown that their nature keeps them in harmony, as opposed to us assholes who at the very beginning, decided that aggression and competition was the theme of the day. I guess we took our hint from other mammals that have fangs and claws... kill or be killed.  Evolution can be a bitch; it'll be interesting to see what the world is like in 10,000 years.

wow it would be cool to see the earth in 10,000 years time, i bet it will be well fucked up even more so.... scary dude

Agreed. And by the way, if I haven't said it already, welcome to our little beach party... hope you've found a rug by now... just slip the rent under the door...

[Caesar dude]

Harvesting farts... OK, that's funny..

Now, I love space exploration and all it's high tech equipment and it's HUGE rockets and it's mighty explosions (both man made and astral)

I've been following since 2002 a story in which Methane was found on Mars.

The interesting thing about methane is that it disperses fairly quickly in the martian atmosphere...but is then replenished.... Farts? 

More likely the planet had life and it is this organic material breaking down then being released...much like the Siberian methane fields on earth.

I believe that Mars once was covered in life...but mainly vegetation and microbiological.

We should know more next year when The new Nasa explorer, Curiosity lands .... it's a science lab on wheels dudes!

I'm a sucker for the gold shiny stuff dudes...
