“Does Extraterrestrial Life Exist?”
I think extraterrestrial life exist on other planets because NASA has found evidence of water and microscopic microbes on Mars. Which may prove that life may once have existed there before the carbon dioxide and other chemicals destroyed its atmosphere and may it uninhabitable. And they found evidence that Mars could have once looked much like Earth. They have found evidence that there was once free flowing water on the surface in the way of finding ancient river canals on its surface. In my own opinion I think complex life once lived on the surface of Mars because from what we know about life on Earth is that where there is water that life can form and survive. And seeing the possibility of water once existing, I believe life once existed on Mars but died off when the atmosphere died off the planet.
They also found evidence of a huge underwater ocean underneath Jupiter’s moon Europa. It’s a moon that erupts with big geysers of fresh liquid water. Scientist think that the odds of finding if not complex life but just regular life forms like microbes are the most promising compared to all the others places in our solar system. In my opinion I think we can find life on Europa. I feel that the life forms we would probably find there in its underwater ocean would resemble our ocean life forms but just look probably more weird or complex looking. The reason why scientist haven’t sent any expedition there yet is because the ice on Europa is to thick and we have to build a machine capable of drilling through it the ice. Once we accomplish that then I will we will finally have an answer to whether there is other life anywhere else besides Earth question answered.
But when it comes to the question does life exist elsewhere in the universe. Most people of religious belief try to avoid it and claim that we are the only beings that exist in the universe. Even though I belief in God and the bible and everything else he does. I still belief that the possibility of more intelligent beings other than us living in this universe is a reality. The universe is to vast for us to b alone in it. Plus, the universe still reveals its many secrets it holds from us consistently and we still have only scratched the surface of it. And some day I believe the universe will reveal its holy grail of secrets to us and show us other intelligent beings other than ourselves. Its just like some people believe that the Big Bang Theory created the universe and everything inside it. While others think that the almighty God himself created the universe and everything inside it. Although I believe God created everything including us I still think that he could have created other organisms somewhere else in the far corners of the universe. That’s why I believe the possibility of life else where is a hundred percent true.
