Possibility of other life forms out there? Yes.
With the amount of planets out there that would have a supportive atmosphere, for a particular evolution to be possible, there is ample opportunity.

Hopefully they do not sit around on Sunday morning comparing clothes.

How intelligent?

I believe in Aliens - she's a Irish girl who live in Te Awamutu, met her at the Ale House on Arawata Street, nice girl, to be sure.

There's no "I" in orgasm. Unless you're a bloke.

Come on Alien,
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything,
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Alien.

Does that mean they'll stick to metal objects and point north all the time.
They would'nt be good swimmers if they were always trying to point to the north

If we do bump into recognisable intelligent life then evolution is porked as a theory. Looks like those Intelligent "Design" numpties will win the day if that happens.

Whilst I'd personally love to see Evolution debunked once and for all - why would the discovery of more "Intelligent Life" be evidence one way or the other. I should have thought both sides would claim it to be proof supporting each claim.

I've got it!

Lemmings! the Aliens are lemmings, singing irish tunes in Te Awamutu?

There must be inteligent life out there - you don't catch them spending millions to find out if there's intelligent life down here!

Cause they know it's a wasted cause!

From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

sounds about right to me.

No. If the majority of Intelligent life we encounter in whatever future we devise follows a series of rules, like the one postulated in the Star Trek Universe (and which posited Intelligent Design before it became an anti-science fad), bipedal, oxygen breathing, DNA as a fixed rule that has 22 pairs of chromosomes, gender based reproduction via zygote and gamete, then Scientific Method could easily be used to divine the existence of a "creator", Divine, or otherwise.

Ah, a supporter of Lamarckism then?
