Of course we're intelligent otherwise we wouldn't be wondering what the worm thought.
This guy tries to sound smart, but ends up spouting bullshit.
Humans are intelligent. The internet, airplanes, and medicine are some examples that point towards intelligence. Even if we'd meet a superior alien species, the reasons we couldn't communicate would be because we don't speak the same language or use different forms of communication, not level of intelligence.
While alien life may exist, the distance between galaxies is too immense to travel. Even with a spaceship capable of moving with the speed of light (which is impossible to achieve), the trip would exceed our lifespan. Aliens may have superior intelligence, but this fact still remains.
THIS is why we have not been visited by aliens.

Even without all the fancy stuff of making wormholes, it is still possible to travel this far and still be alive. A space ship that has a form of renewable fuel, plus cyro chambers and a species could travel infinitely far so long as they had power.
We aren't that far from working out cyro chambers either so we just have to build a space ship that can run on solar power or some other form of energy we haven't discovered and send it on it's merry way. Sure, by the time they get there years will have passed and their entire family may or may not be dead but we still traveled the amount of distance it would take to possibly run into another form of life.

Those inventions may be significant to us but what if they are insignificant to a specific kind of superior alien.
Space jump, worm holes can be used for traveling? and most of all, if that alien race is far advanced, they will have technologies that we can't possibly think of, or achieve ( at least for now). Well there are possibilities that some aliens are less developed than us
Humans are intelligent but will we be considered as intelligent to a more superior species? Anyway there are theories so we can't be sure.
But there is one thing we can be sure of, we are not alone.

Just because we have these inventions doesn't make us intelligent. A worm may think he's smart because of all he's accomplished in his life but really its insignificant to us. That's what this guy is trying to get at. Who's to say we're the most superior species in the galaxy or universe?
Also, you don't need to travel at the speed of light when you can bend space itself. Wormholes could be a very possible means of travel for advanced life-forms. Instead of going over a mountain(going in a straight line through space), why not tunnel through the mountain(create a wormhole) to make the trip shorter?

This is not really "evidence," it merely means that just because there isn't evidence showing that aliens HAVE visited us doesn't mean it has NOT happened.
I really get peaved when people tout such things as evidence, such as creationists and evolutionists alike.
That said, I really like this idea, and I love thinking about it, as well as Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Or we just haven't been observed by an extra terrestrial species yet. Considering how vast the universe is, it's unlikely that we've been discovered at all. And even if we have, how would the aliens contact us? Fly all the way over here from their planet(s)?
If we have been discovered, just because they're super-intelligent doesn't mean that they have somehow managed to break the laws of physics and traverse galaxies within a reasonable amount of time. I think that the biggest evidence for why we haven't been visited by aliens is not that we are unintelligent, but that visiting us wouldn't be worthwhile at all. Who would spend millions of years traveling the universe just to see a bunch of humans on a water based planet? This would be the sentiment, regardless of how intelligent humans are. IF the aliens were as intelligent as us, or more intelligent, they would have the sense to know not to waste time trying to visit us. Maybe they'd send out some sort of signal or something, but even then it'd take eons to get to us.

Piece of evidence = theory based on something that may not be present.
We farm worms for our own needs, we understand them and use them to our own advantage. An alien life form could do the same, we could have many uses, slaves, builders, food, nutrient for crops (blood and bone)
we dont talk to the worm because we know it to not speak a language made by man, but we do know it exists

actually if us humans found worms on another planet don't you think we'd go down there to investigate?
but maybe we are not as unintelligent as worms compared to them maybe to them we are like dolphins and we know they are smart and i think they know when we are studying them
Or maybe there is no INTELLIGENT life near us... maybe there is somwhere some planet full of aliens that looks similar to humans but they still live stone age society or probably some planet where we can find life but it is only some animals like dinosaurs on earth... Think about it people....

But the worm does notice that we are there. It just doesn't know that were intelligent.
What if the worm's smart and we don't know because it thinks we're stupid, therefor ignoring us
I try telling this to most people, but they look at me like I'm crazy. I mean for all we know our logic is dead compared to the vastness of reality. For all we know we are just simpletons who don't really know much of anything.

Aliens doesn't exists. They are "existed" because of our optimism that there must be at least a life (at least ancient micro creatures) in this vast infinite universe. But there are no evidence proves they are exists (source: Howard Smith, astrophysicist at Harvard University). This is why atheists were flawed. Science is based on logical evidences, but without evidence of aliens, atheists believe that aliens are exist. Are you fucking kidding me? What is your arguments? You rejected God because there is no evidence that He exists but you accept aliens without evidence that they are exists? This worldview of aliens existence also prove that God exists. Your arguments are flawed.

You know, I am not an atheist, nor am I a believer. And I honestly didn't think I would say this, considering the fact that there hasn't been a post that involves both aliens and God. But since you felt the need to involve them both. Fuck it, I am just going to say it, but there is way more proof of extraterrestrials than there is of God. God, is just a belief. He may exist and he may not exist. That is why he is belief. NO LIVING THING, truly knows if God exists or not. It doesn't matter whether you genuinely believe in God, or think God is pure bullshit. Truth is, no one fucking knows! But there is so much fucking evidence that proves aliens exist. I honestly could care less if people believe in God or not. All I know, is that there is alien life out there. And I think that is tight shit. So you shut your fucking mouth, buddy.

Holy fucking shit dude.
*don't exist
*They "exist"
*is no evidence proving they exist
*aliens exist
*are your
*they exist (if I have to tell you one more time I will find you and kill you)
*aliens'
*proves
Now that that's out of the way...
You say there is no evidence that they exist and cite a random astrophysicist. Well, Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist too, so they cancel out. In any case, that's a fucking retarded argument, because at the same time there is no evidence that they do NOT exist.
Since when did atheism come into this? Sounds like you're just a butthurt believer. The post had nothing to do with religion at all.
'Science is based on logical evidences, but without evidence of aliens, atheists believe that aliens are exist.' Well, unfortunately for you, science is actually also based largely on theory. If you want to get into the little metaphysical technicalities (though I fear your intelligence may be too small to comprehend them), nothing is truly proveable. What you call 'evidences' is actually conjectures drawn reasonably from results. They are not concrete. What I'm trying to say is that the mathematical probability points overwhelmingly to the existence of alien life, so we can reasonably draw that conclusion. But to atheists, there is zero proof of God, so that conclusion is not reasonable. Your argument is thereby invalidated.
Nobody can do it, so it must be true, right? No; just because nobody has done it before does not mean it cannot be done. YOUR logic is fatally flawed.
And as a side note, I'm a Christian AND I believe in extraterrestrial life. They are not mutually exclusive. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that aliens don't exist.

First of all, learn the english language. Second, we exist. We are proof that intelligent life can form. We are the only known example of intelligent life. There has been not one example of a being that created us. My point:
Examples of intelligent life: 1; examples of gods: 0
Examples of intelligent life: 1; examples of gods: 0
Sometimes simplicity is what is needed, as it doesn't complicate things more than what is necessary.
Go too far into these quantum theories, and eventually I hit point where it's all conjecture, backed up by math I do not understand and it all goes over my head.

I read the whole thing as warm and not worm.
Yep I think it time to go to sleep.

That is an interesting theory. But in fact, to any persons knowledge we are the most Intelligent lifeform in existance.
The monumental flaw in that logic/statement is that 'any persons knowledge' = truth. Yes, I agree, it IS a theory and therefore possibly untrue. But it's so highly improbable that we are the only intelligent life that it may as well be true. Our very existence is proof that intelligent life is possible. There are billions upon billions upon billions (repeat ad nauseum) of planets out there. You do the math.
I completely agree with you. Most theories/hopes and dreams, are that we'll discover life on some distant planet that is far more advanced than us...What if we're the oldest race out there, what if we'll be the "aliens" landing on some other planet, who are just now picking up tools, or learning to read. So that in a thousand years(or what ever) when we discover their civilization we're the advanced ones bringing interstellar knowledge.
Well, consider the following (and I'm serious; I'm not trying to be a sarcastic jackass, something that the 'consider' phrase has unfortunately become associated with):
1. 'Life' is a manifestly broad term. A single bacterium counts as life. Yes, a microscopic, unicellular organism.
2. The sheer number of organisms on this planet is incontrovertible proof that life, regardless of its intelligence, can exist.
3. The number of planets is practically incomprehensible. Astronomers have speculated that there are several trillion in the Milky Way alone.
Given all of that, is it not immensely likely that at least one single bacterium exists somewhere on at least one of the bajillions of planets out there?
I mean, yes, even with all that it's still a theory, a mathematical assumption; I completely understand that. But IMO it's a pretty damn reasonable assumption.

Agreed
1. I suppose that's why we refer to "intelligent life" because if you found even one, single celled organism on mars(for example) that is "life" on another planet.
2.again agreed
3.100% agree with you on that. "the drake equation" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation) certain variables plugged into his equation suggests there are 1000 to 100,000,000 civilizations in our galaxy alone. (not solid evidence but a theory)
And I guess that was more the point I was trying to make, we're only just reaching the edges of our solar system(in terms of sending probes etc) who knows whats out there. I definitely believe about life on other planets, not sure what form that life will be.
Another theory I have is that most of our science is based on (for lack of a better word) fire, the why we get car engines to operate etc etc. Which might and I say "might" have influenced the way we perceive the universe around us. What if other civilizations discovered something else before they discovered fire. But now I get into a conversation where I could I go on and on and on and I really should get back to work :)

Yes, that is true; makes for a much livelier debate. xD
I agree with your mention of the Drake equation; I didn't bring it up earlier because IMO it's not the most reliable thing--it's possible to get it to equal a ridiculously small number that would supposedly mean we are alone in the entire bloody universe, something that I think is mentioned in the Wikipedia article--but I do still subscribe to what it proposes. In any case, that tiny number is obtained by deliberately using the smallest possible values, so it's effectively a manufactured result.
That is a very interesting theory. I have always considered fire the most important 'invention' in the history of mankind, but I've never thought of it that way before. I suppose if some civilisation managed somehow to harness electricity before fire, they would be quite markedly different!
