Life Else Where - Are we alone? [Closes 8/4/07]

[Tiuhdur]

noone can really be sure of how the earth was created.

the water deal is either

gas and the elements combining to form water or

undertakers theory

We will probably be able to transport to other planets and will adapt to those circumstances and look difference in the future.

And yes space is a very very unusual topic as there is barely anything known. For all we know the "universe" is actually a place we call home. If you think about it like this:

There are atoms on tables / objects etc. Imagine we are an atom on someones table?! Thats just freaky. Its very very possible. We could be TINY things in something similar to an atom.

So the Earth has about 4 Billion years left, I think humans will have the ability to move Planets by then.

I personally think some of the Ice Moons which are water under the ice may have life on already, when the sun turns into a Red Giant the animals may be able to go on land and evolve just like the earth's animals did

That site is wrong, the Earth won't be 'swallowed' up by the sun when it goes supernova/red giantish

In 50 years we have acheived many many things in space. In 4 billion years I think we can find a way to survive.

The chance of life occurring as it has on this planet is something like 10 to the power of 40,000 or something. However as the Universe is apparently infinite then this 'chance' will actually 'happen'. Therefore I believe there is life out there, some similar to us, some like life was here millions of years ago and some millions of years ahead, yes .

Well, they're might be life on Titan within a few billion years, as Titan )according to scientists) is the same state as Earth was about 4 billion years ago.

The sun will swallow up Earth and other plants.

[Kardan]

The sun will swallow up Earth and other plants.

It won't, before the sun goes supernova it's gravitational force will weaken sending Venus, Earth and Mars into a further orbit escaping the fate, Mercury won't though.

The sun will swallow up Earth and other plants.

The sun will move into a red giant phase, as it does not have a high enough mass to become a Supernova. Therefore the sun will begin to expand and perhaps come into contact with the earth. The inhabitants will die as the planet's water will boil away and it's atmosphere will escape into space.
Indeed it could well be "swallowed" as it were by the sun however, it is very unlikely it will because the expansion of the sun will result in the orbit of the earth moving away from the sun and it won't be engulfed.

Weeee.
