I am hopeing this thread will get some input. I basically copied a post I wrote from the (do you believe in UFOs) thread which didnt quite fit completely there, with some modifications. I believe in a higher being although I am not necessarily religious. I also beleive that its too likely that life may exist elsewhere but not necessarily anymore intelligent or similiar to us. I think my drive toward starting this thread is due in strong part to my recent viewings of the recent anime Mushishi. In general, this anime describes an entirely different form of life that we are basically ignorant of yet it affects us in very real ways. These ethreal creatures are called mushi and they basically fill a phylum of thier own seperate from animals, plants, and even bacteria. The main character described the association using his hand. His fingers represented the different phylums while the veins leading from the fingers (which essentially re-join towards the wrist) and continue the rest of the arm straight to his heart which was where the mushi are in the greater scheme of things. If such life is possible here on earth, unbeknownst to us as described in the anime, than what is stopping such life from existing elsewhere in just such a form as the ethreal mushi. Maybe we are too concerned with thinking that any alien life (as existing outside of earth) is only likely to be little green men or such physical, relatable beings. People even go as far as fancying the notion of alien bacteria but what about alien-mushi. Heck, even I started thinking outside of the box (Earth) in thinking of unknown life, from the premise of odd life existing within the box. Can there maybe life like mushi here on Earth, and for that matter, outside of Earth? Henceforth is my original post. Lifeforms can exist with nothing but the most rudimentary motivations to spread out and multiply. Maybe all those UFOs we claim to see are really just un-intelligent lifeforms, ne?! Maybe UFOs are like the ultra- delicate jellyfish that live deep in the ocean that as soon as they come into contact with something or the light we shed on them to see them, they disappear? Brief exhibitions of brilliance before they disintegrate into near nothingness. That is maybe why we never really see UFOs for longer stretches of time, they might have something of a limited life expectancy in our athmosphere, in our usual realm of reality, of familiarality. Also, in relation to crop circles...those can be manesfestations of UFOs existence either currently or in the past. They can be like the remnants of dinosaurs and like the hollowed out shells of diatoms that we use in toothpaste. Or like the ashes left over from anything that burns up and singes the earth, and the crops, sometimes leaving something of an ethereal incomprehensible residue in the fields ie. the magnetic resonance and radiation aura often found at the sites.

now that I think about it, there is too little facts to back my idea as being even a theory, which I had first thought it might have qualified as. (therefore its mistaken placement in the Physics thread and better classification as Science Fiction) This Idea on Alien Life goes along the lines of strong speculation like the existence of ghosts and what not. Although it just so happens that we can never really measure the effects or record any real data from such anomalies...doesnt mean they dont exist. What I mean by not being able to record ghosts and other odd phenomenom is like how people cant record ghosts or the data gets corrupted or cant be analyzed. As such, just because no one can prove that some kind of "mushi" exist in the universe, much less on Earth, doesnt mean they dont exist.

looking back at my original post, I mentioned that: "I believe in a higher being although I am not necessarily religious. I also beleive that its too likely that life may exist elsewhere but not necessarily anymore intelligent or similiar to us." I may have generally provided some basis for the latter part of my thesis, I have not given anything to add weight to the former part. I wish to provide such for the higher part and a little more to substantuate the latter part. In my statement, I state that not only should there be a higher being than us, there must also be a lesser being. Simply based on the fact that we can find alien bacteria on extraterrestial objects, than that alone argues that life exists elsewhere, although not necessarily in any form we are already familiar with and as such, in "expected" forms. Heck, we can eventually discover that certain things we took for granted environmental effects, are actually life in disquise. ie. ponder how coral reefs, are rock-hard mineral deposits and from a certain perspective, living rock. In the very same way that we may not be able to comprehend any life of an altogether alien sort, we may also come to realize that there can be greater life that we dont recognize. "god works in mysterious ways" recall how it is sometimes described that the relationship between God and man is like man to an ant. A person can provide great bounty or descruction of an uncomprehensible sort to the ant. What if the relationship with god is even greater than that to us. Its almost incomprehensible and such being the nature of the limits of human comprehension, God and higher alien life for that matter, can be just as supernatural as ghosts and "mushi."
