[SIZE="-7"]I think it would be illogical to think we're alone. I get talk from my family about believing in it sometimes. I look at things from a Christian point of view, being that's what I am, and well...to think we're all alone, frankly, the rest of the universe was kinda just a big waste of space, don't ya think? Rocks are boring. If there's no other life, the Earth might as well have been made the center of the universe or something. And not made it so infinite-y.
I've never had an encounter, but I do believe in it and I have a very reliable friend that took a snapshot of a UFO from her yard. I believe she has video too.
A few more things I'd like address. Btw, I'm getting a lot of information in this next part from a special I saw on this. Really had some good points.
"Well, why aren't the aliens here yet?"
Who says they're not? They could disguise things pretty well if they're advanced enough. The most efficient way to scout wouldn't be to come here. It would be to send something here to check out the planet. Microscopic robots could be possible, right? That'd be the most efficient way to check out things on other planets. They'll move faster, because of size, and also, if there is anything living, they wouldn't be able to notice. Through the use of a wormhole; that is, a theoretical bend in space and time; and that kind of technology, alien civilizations could probe anywhere they wanted to.
Plus, you've gotta take into consideration some biological problems. Would aliens be adapted to coming to this planet at all? What if their planet was on a totally different system. It's highly doubtful they would breathe the same kind of air that we do. Another thing. Remember The War of the Worlds? Germs are a threat to them as well as other environmental threats.
On a last note...if they were so much more advanced than us...why would they want to come here in the first place? If they're so much more advanced, they'd look at us the same way we'd look at an ant hill. We'd be interested for a minute, but then get kinda bored of it and never really worry about it much anymore. We'd be just a bunch of things on a rock. No big deal or threat to them. Heh.
Man, I like this essay. o.o;
Oh. On a last note. I never said it in full, so...
I believe in aliens.[/SIZE]
