Does Life exist outside our own world?

I have recently been asked, if I believe in life, outside of our own world? This is a big question for all of us. I believe the answer is simple, although we need to approach the equation, with multi dimensional thinking, or lateral thinking, as apposed to the usual 2 dimensional thinking, because it is a very complex multi dimensional question. In order to answer this question, as accurately as possible, we need to understand a few important facts first. What is a planet? A planet is usually a large body in space, like our earth, orbiting a star, which we call our sun. What is a natural satellite? A natural satellite is our moon, orbiting our planet earth. What is a solar system? A solar system is a collection of planets, orbiting a star, like our sun. What is a galaxy? A galaxy is a collection of solar systems, which are all moving in a circular motion, in the same direction. Our galaxy is called... The Milky Way. What is a universe? A universe is a collection of galaxies, all moving in a circular motion and without end.
With our present technology, it would take us 3 generations, of traveling in space, to reach the next closest solar system. The moon is approximately 250,000. miles from earth. The sun is approx. 93 million miles from earth, at it's closest point. There are 10 planets in our solar system. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Earth can fit into Jupiter, approx., 1,000 times and Jupiter has 16 moons and some of Jupiter's moons, have atmosphere, wow.

The speed of sound, is 760 miles per-hour or 1100 feet per-second and the speed of light is 186,000. miles per-second. Again with our present technology, it would take us approx. 1000 years to convert Planet Mars, next door to us, to an earth like environment, just to give you an idea of what we're dealing with here, when equating the formula, of the original question, do I believe in the existence of life, outside our world?

So imagine something with no beginning or no end. What do you think of first? God?...very interesting! Anyhow, the fact that we now understand the terms and their meanings, we need to look at things mathematically, for math is the universal language. The fact that we are here on earth, asking this question and knowing full well, we are on a planet, which there are countless planets, solar systems and galaxies, in the universe, with no end, and for me, this can only mean one thing. Since we already exist on this planet, orbiting within our solar system, within our galaxy, which is in the universe, the answer is clear. Life exist in the universe and only when we evolve, with much greater knowledge and technology, can we hope to get closer, to understanding the knowledge of the universe.

If we are here asking this question, because we know we exist, the odds are overwhelming, that they exist as well. The mathematical odds are overwhelming, in favour of life existing throughout the universe. The fact, that the universe goes on forever, this would continuously increase the odds of the universe supporting a variety of life forms. My best guess is, other beings are asking the same question elsewhere, in the universe.

Of course, the way to ensure the survival of the human race, is to establish colonies on other planets, which is our future, if we survive. Only if we embrace change, can we increase the odds, of our survival, as a human species, on this planet. This is why I believe, God gave us the intelligence, to question everything, to learn and help us grow and evolve, which is paramount to our survival.

Life without love is incomplete, for love completes. It's the love of life, which creates quality of life.
I hope I have given you some more philosophical food for thought.

By Popular Belief

According to my latest survey of the last 2 years, I have been asking people of all walks of life, if they believe we are alone in the universe?
More than half of the people surveyed were students at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Canada.

The answer is...more than 90% of the people surveyed said, "Quote" "No, I don't believe we are alone in the universe". It would appear that, the vast majority of the people would support our governments of the world addressing this controversial topic openly & publicly.
In my opinion, it's long over due.
In order to move forward, we need clear vision.
