ORIGINAL PARAGRAPH

Since the space is very big, it's possible that aliens exist. If we exist, we are aliens to other creatures that live in space. It's because we are too small, but the space is too big which means we didn't discover all the space yet. It will be impossible to find aliens for now because the space is too big, and the space is still growing and getting bigger. And some aliens will exist in some other planet that we didn't discover yet. I think that tons of other aliens will exist in other planet, and even if they think it's impossible to survive without any needed products, such as carbon. d, oxygen, water, well aliens might have some other things to live with to adapt into the environment.

Aliens won't be existing because no way on space can be as good as earth. Earth was a coincidence. It will be very hard make another place like earth because to be ABLE to survive, the organisms needs nutrients such as we have, and space doesn't have ANY other oxygen, co2, or anything which means it also needs every single thing that earth has, and more, which means it's pretty impossible. Even if there is an alien, it's too far away, and we only found a tiny bit about space, and earth is the only planet that living things can live at.

There are some possibility that aliens might exist in some of the various part in space. But, we can't be sure of IF it exists, because there is a very low percentage of aliens existing, because there are no other environment like earth. Earth was a very lucky planet that it is a place for living things to live. Even if space is that big, there might be no place like earth. The theory is that the space is so big that there HAS to be an alien rather then us. Some prove that UFO (unidentified flying object) was passing by earth, but that can be a rumor, or it might be true. But hardly no one has seen it.

Analyzing facts and theory, it is different and it will be different until people finds the truth, but unless they don't know the answer, there are no right or wrong answers. People believe those aliens from facts/rumors, but you got to just believe and think what you think is the most reasonable for you. And maybe scientists are more accurate of saying aliens don't exist, but that can't be a fact, that's just another reasonable theory. But the truth is that everything will be arguable, unless they find the truth, so nothing is wrong or right.

Overall, all these opinions and theories are part of things that make "aliens" so popular and if they exist or not. And the overall is to think what you think, to think what's more reasonable to you, and the mystery is what that makes that subject so interesting and popular. Because if people know everything than there will be no interesting facts, and that's the good part of this "aliens" and other fun theories and mystery.
