A question I often pose to people:

What do you find scariest: knowing that there is intelligent life out in there in the universe, or knowing that we are alone in the universe? I think both are quite daunting, when you really think about it.

If by extraterrestrial life that life exists in the universe besides what is on Earth, then yes. I don't think that intelligent extraterrestrials have visited Earth. As to whether or not other beings of sufficient intelligence to be considered "intelligent life" there is not enough data!

Extraterrestrial life is almost a certainty

That doesn't mean, though, that we've been visited.

I don't know. I don't believe that there is alien life or that there isn't. There could be. We don't know. Does that make me an alien agnostic? In this situation, I think Calvin & Hobbes applies: "Sometimes I think the surest sign of intelligent alien life is that none of it has tried to contact us."

I believe extraterrestrial life, intelligent or otherwise, may exist. But we've not made contact with any yet.

I'm in the "there's no reason there can't be extraterrestrial life, but we'll never meet it" camp.

It just doesn't seem probably to me for such a complex series of events requiring life to occur twice in the same universe. Unless you believe in an impersonal teleology, in which case it is totally plausible. I believe in a personal teleology who hasn't let me know about aliens, but has told me a lot of other stuff in this pretty amazing book, so I assume that means the former assertion is true.

IU think that it is very vain and selfish for us to think that we are the only intelligent life in a galaxy as big as ours is plus the3 next and the next and the next.... you get the picture. I have never seen or experienced a sighting but I believe.

I do believe there is life out there, somewhere. Could be in many different forms on many different planets even within this galaxy. Is it intelligent? Maybe. Have we encountered them? I don't think so. Will we? Might depend on how long we last as a species.

Meant to hit the last one (yes, but not intelligent) and wound up hitting the one above it.

It seems almost impossible that there isn't life out there somewhere. But i do not think that they've visited us here on the Earth, and we probably will never, ever run into them during the entire life-span of humanity, and we probably won't even find evidence of them, especially during our lifetimes. But one never knows...
