Writer's Block: Search for intelligent life

Do you believe there is other intelligent life in distant galaxies? If no, why not? If yes, do you believe this is something to be feared and avoided or actively sought out?

Of course. Do people honestly think this is the only galaxy out there? Either way if you think about life from a scientific view there would have to be another planet sustaining life out there. The odds are in its favor. Now if you think about it religiously do you think a God would be satisfied with just one population to rule over? Yeah right. If there is a god (or gods) he's probably got a lot more than just this galaxy out there but then again who really believes in that stuff now a days? Oh yeah... never mind.

Should we be afraid? Sure. Who knows what they will do when and if they make contact. Hell we might be the ones to make first contact somewhere out there. Also we are actively seeking other life forms out there. So continue on!
