Are We Alone ??
Just watching Independence Day here (very sad I know, btw thanks Stu  ) and got to wondering whether there is other life in the universe?? Could there be alien life amongst us already, walking through Manchester city centre on a saturday afternoon tends to support that theory 
From a personal point of view I think there must be life somewhere else, I can't imagine that in my lifetime that proof will be found but I think at some point it will happen.

Re: Are We Alone ??
I think that the probablility of life on other planets in the universe is extremely high.
Whether we actually meet them is another matter

Re: Are We Alone ??
To quote Bob Monkhouse:
"Personally, I don't think there's intelligent life on other planets. Why should other planets be any different from this one?"
No, but seriously, in something as big as the universe, I'd think it incredibly unlikely if we were the only ones here.

Re: Are We Alone ??
I don't know whether we are alone (I don't think we are). But, after the day I have had today, I wonder if we will find intelligent life on *this* planet...

Or, indeed, is there intelligent life on Earth?! (Yes, but I'm only visiting!) <Boom boom!>

Even if the odds are billions to one against there being any other life any where else in the universe, remember that there are estimated to be 400 billion (US) in our galaxy alone and http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s910295.htm suggests that there may be at least 70 *sextillion* or 70 thousand million million million stars in the visible universe, so the odds are that there's other life *somewhere* out there.
Has it been here? I doubt it. Will we find proof of it soon? Well, maybe if the missions to Mars and Europa are successful we might. Will we find intelligent life, frankly I'd like to hope so, but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Are We Alone ??
Just to be different 
I'd have to say that I don't think there is any life in our universe apart from on earth. My stance is based on my understanding of the bible. And as a christian I'd be inconsistent if I didn't believe it.
Oh and ... beagle2 hahahaha.. gutted!!

Re: Are We Alone ??
context is so useful yet so easily ignored eh
alien in that sense is another word for stranger or foreigner
