A poll conducted in the UK has revealed that nearly half the population believes alien life exists.
Conducted by the prestigious Royal Society it was found that men were more likely to believe in aliens than women and that 28% of those polled believed that alien life didn't exist at all and that we were alone in the universe.
A poll of 2,000 adults concluded that 44 per cent were convinced of the existence of extra-terrestrial life. Men were more likely to believe with 46 per cent answering the survey saying humans are not alone.

Raptor and Scowl, may I congratulate you both on a masterful and respectful debate. Were I to declare a winner (in my opinion only, of course), the trophy would undoubtedly go to Raptor. But Scowl, you've made very solid arguments and held your own in several points. Regardless of the outcome, I'd like to thank you both for this extremely informative and educational discussion. If we discover life on another planet, I'll have to adjust my argument somewhat.

Paxus you Aussie bastage, I've been missing you! Where have you been lately?!?! Chasing alien tail like a good ol' boy? Hey booN!I don't know... Maybe I was abducted. I guess I've just been busy. As to alien tail - hahahaha negative. Although, I wish i were.

M.I.A? What's MIA? And howcome no one else has pointed out the correct statistics for the % of people who believe there is life outside of Earth? (because 44% simply cannot be right - it's well known that more than half of all people believe there's life out there in the universe)

Hey booN! I don't know... Maybe I was abducted. I guess I've just been busy. As to alien tail - hahahaha negative. Although, I wish i were. Well, it's just good to see ya mate, whether you're getting Arcturian poon tang or not... M.I.A? What's MIA? And howcome no one else has pointed out the correct statistics for the % of people who believe there is life outside of Earth? (because 44% simply cannot be right - it's well known that more than half of all people believe there's life out there in the universe) I think he was making a play on MIB... although I would have chosen something like: Paxu...

The chances of other life existing in an intelligent form somewhere in the universe is quite high so this is very bad news :/

The chances of other life existing in an intelligent form somewhere in the universe is quite high so this is very bad news :/ But with a very incomplete understanding of why life evolved on Earth and almost no knowledge of any planets outside our solar system, people are learning that there is no way to calculate these chances. So this is very good news.
