ah dang i thought this was a scary stories thread to share spooky encounters on. (i'm thinking of making that thread in the future hmm...)

any how, since this has the serious tag i must respect it.

1. is there an entity beyond space and time? (god)
i'm Roman Catholic and i do believe in a God existing. it may not be as strong a belief compared to those devout, but it's something rather than nothing. i've explained this in a bit better detail over at the Christian Clubhouse (i think).

2. are we alone?(alien)
absolutely not. i refuse to believe that, from how ultra massive our universe is, we're supposedly the only living creatures that spawned out of it?? hell no, aliens exist. we just haven't developed the means yet to properly communicate with them, or travel to their realms. it's a fever dream, but i'd like to witness something like that during my lifetime.

3. is their afterlife?
i believe there is, though we'll never be certain what form it will take. will it just be our souls free to roam the galaxies forever? are we to be transported to an actual heaven/hell? are we just gonna be placed into another body, forced to live in this Earth again and again while constantly having our past lives erased from our minds?

4. is there one more humanoid race?(monsters)
i think this still ties in with aliens? and i'd guess these things would exist, but again, in a different world from ours. i'm pretty sure human beings are the only species on Earth with this level of intelligence.

1. is there an entity beyond space and time? (god)
I believe in god, but I don't particularly align to any religion. I just pray and do my best to be a good person.

2. are we alone? (alien)
Of course not! The universe is vast, I don't understand those who think that we're all there is. Plus I believe they discovered microscopic life on Mars already.

3.is their afterlife?
This is the issue, we don't know, those who have died can't tell us. This is why death is frightening to many, including me. I like to believe there's a heaven, but I don't think I'd be worthy.

4.is there one more humanoid race? (monsters)
Probably on other planets? I don't believe in monsters in general though.

my answers..........
1. is there an entity beyond space and time? (god)
yup! obviously see if our all religions have the story of god then might someone is sitting in a peaceful place and seeing what the hell we are doing?
2. are we alone?(alien)
someone said that if we are alone then space is an awful waste of area I also think that aliens are somewhere connected with gods I still think that aliens are still watching us every time every day and every second whether you are using the poke community or poker community!
3.is their afterlife?
sorry no answers for this one ):
4.is there one more humanoid race? (monsters)
yup! the answer is yes! from scary vampires to giant yeti but they are not common among us!

Oh, I'm so tempted to go full on philosophy mode...but I'll try and restrain myself a little.

1. is there an entity beyond space and time? (god)
I don't know. But if there is then it is stuck with us.

2. are we alone?(alien)
Maybe, but maybe not? There could be life out there right now. But there could have been life on another planet long before Earth developed life. There could also be planets that only develop life long after Earth dies out.

I don't know why people always assume that other planets have to have life right now. We could be the only ones right this moment. But any minute new life could evolve on another planet far far away. Life that we simply cannot find, yet, because it's far from being able to communicate.

3.is their afterlife?
I have some complicated thoughts about this. But I'll spare you the details.

4.is there one more humanoid race?(monsters)
If there are then we haven't found them.

Of course not! The universe is vast, I don't understand those who think that we're all there is. Plus I believe they discovered microscopic life on Mars already.

They definitely did not. They've found evidence that at some point their might have been microscopic life, but if any sort of life was found on a different planet, even microscopic life, it would have blown up all over the news as the biggest story of the century - or ever really.

Anyway, to answer the questions myself as well.

1. Is there an entity beyond space and time? (god)
Maybe? This is something that is legitimately just not possible to prove, or to disprove. The only thing I can say is that if there is a god or gods out there, they are probably an existence completely alien to us that do not resemble the deities we describe in our religions at all.

2. Are we alone? (alien)
It's possible, but statistically very unlikely. The universe is unfathomably large and even just the small chunk of it we have really observed is full of planets and moons that are probably habitable. That's not even considering the possibility of life with totally different living requirements to the carbon-based life we're familiar with on Earth. I find it hard to believe we're the only life in the universe when there's more universe out there than we can even possibly observe because it's too large and expanding too fast for light from the end of it to ever reach us.

The possibility of encountering another intelligent civilisation though? Those are much smaller odds for the same reason that the odds of other life existing are so huge. The universe is just so damn big that you would have to be able to violate the laws that govern reality to actually cross it. Even a race with access to ships powered by antimatter or fusion would most-likely take multiple generations to get from one solar system to another - assuming one of the trillion things in space that can kill you didn't prevent them from finishing the journey or that they didn't just destroy themselves first. The Fermi paradox is a thing for a reason.

3. Is there an afterlife?
Maybe? I personally feel like there has to be something beyond this, but there's only one way to find out so it gets lumped into the same category as god for me. It's impossible to prove, and if it exists, it's not going to resemble anything we've been told about in religious texts or mythology.

4. Is there one more humanoid race? (monsters)
Chances are that there's an alien race out there that somewhat resembles us. On Earth though, no. The closest things to that in the current age are chimpanzees and they're a long way off from fitting the bill.
