Personally I say the odds are good.

Intelligent Alien Life. Does it exist?
"Revolution 2011!!!"
The Normalcy Bias
The normalcy bias refers to an extreme mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
Are you suffering from normalcy bias?

Re: Intelligent Alien Life. Does it exist?
better question is why wouldnt there be.
Billions of planets in a galaxy, billions of galaxies in the universe, why would we be the only ones in it???

Re: Intelligent Alien Life. Does it exist?
Actually the odds are that intelligent life exists in atleast 1 planet out of a 1000 i believe it was...or 10000 don't remember the exact number. I was watching a documentary on it about stephen hawking's stand and that was one of his arguments, proven mathematically.
If you take parallel universes into account, there's an intelligent life in every universe.

Re: Intelligent Alien Life. Does it exist?
Id have to agree with xDaku, given the size of the universe and the vast numbers of planets, the mathematical probability is that the Universe is supports many forms of life and some of them will be intelligent.
If you want look at the odds of them ever visiting Earth ( not just in the short time Human life has thrived but the whole lifespan of the planet ), the odds are very slim, and if you think of alien life as bipedal or in anyway similar to Humans the odds are ridiculously low, still not impossible but so improbable it's not worth serious consideration.
A better question IMO would be define intelligent life, and consider the possibility that many species exist deep underground and deep in the oceans that we are not able to study, is there non-human intelligent life on this planet, that originated on this planet that we simple dont know about ???

like I said, it depends how you define intelligence. Looking at the damage Humans have done spreading across the planet, breading uncontrollably, destroying the natural environment and killing off other species to feed our greed for land and resources on a totally unsustainable road to oblivion. Maybe a more intelligent lifeform has learned to live in smaller numbers in a far less obtrusive way, and if aware of us, avoids us at all costs.
One of my favorite quotes is ''If Humans are an example of an intelligent species, Humanity's behavior suggests intelligence is an evolutionary dead end''

Re: Intelligent Alien Life. Does it exist?
I'm not sure why we're debating something that has a definite answer which we dont know yet. What worth is an opinion of why fermat's theorum works. You either have proof or you don't. You cannot even form a proper opinion on the matter.. What experiences do we have which could help us form an opinion to the question? films? creatively thought up conspiracy theories?

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.
Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

Given the share size and the sherr immense nature of the universe, I think that our planet,system and galaxy is less than a mere drop in the universe, that I think that intelliagent life does exist out there somewhere. But then again thats just my opinion.
