So did you answer "yes" or "maybe"?

We weren't asked "Is there Life....."

The question was: "Do you "believe there is Life......"

It seems to me that the only possible answers are 'Yes' and 'No'. There is no maybe.

Sorry, seemed an appropriate quote, given the topic.

At least 17 people here disagree with you.

Why can't someone believe that there might be life on planets?

That was how I interpreted it. "Do you believe that there is/is not/might be life on other planets."

:noway: That's never happened before.

The question was about beliefs.

Do you believe there is life on other planets?

Possible answers given:

Yes I believe.

No I don't believe.

Maybe I believe. <------This is the one that doesn't make sense. Either you believe it or you don't. How can you 'Maybe Believe' something?

I think I voted "yes", as in "Yes, I believe", but I'm not reasonably certain...

Somebody must be voting on old polls. :noid:

Thanks for explaining that. I thought I was getting loopy!

No, unless you consider California another planet. Otherwise the only other thing I have to say is, "Show me." Just like UFOs.

 

[Granite]

Wow...

 

[Caledvwlch]

As far as the poll goes... I went with a definite maybe. :chuckle: "After all, Mr. President, it's a big-a** sky." Sorry, I couldn't resist the Armageddon quote.

I can't say yes, because I don't believe we have much in the way of evidence of alien life, but there's certainly plenty of places in which it could be hiding.

Oh wow yeah. Good point. :think:

Pretty much. Aside from my misguided theological remarks from quite some time back I stand by my observations earlier in the thread...

What's the saying? The best evidence intelligent life exists is that it has never tried to contact us.

Let's restrict the discussion to "intelligent life", OK? :chuckle:

 

[soothsayer]

There is life on this planet...why not on at least a few other planets? Obviously, I can't be sure, so I voted "maybe." Another issue here is whether life has existed in the past or will exist in the future on other planets. :think: We may never know...

I haven’t found all that much intelligent life here on Earth.
