As my previous and following posts ponder the question of the existence of alien life, I thought I’d do a poll on this exact question. On the sidebar to the right you will find 5 options. Have a quick read and cast your vote, but try not to click the last as that is just being a wuss.

I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. In my postgraduate research (under the supervision of Max Turner) I’m working on a thesis that concerns the christological significance of the language Paul used to describe the relationship between risen Lord and believer. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way. For more about me, click here for my interview with biblioblogs' Jim West.

What's with all the sceptics Chris? Surely there's intelligent life somewhere ... not much around here :-)
Too bad there wasn't a "don't care" option.
Now. Now, Chris the Less. That is just being cynical.
I hope you clicked on the 'yes' like it appears Jason did.
Actually, I was going to add as the final choice 'don't know, don't care', but I was keen to divert as many people as possible from that option, i.e. people like Chris the less who don't care.
But how can you not care? I shake my head in solemn judgment in your general direction. Surely it is important for us all if, in actual fact, planets filled with '7 of 11' truly exist. I sure hope so. Trekies will no what I mean.
It's '7 of 9', not '7 of 11'... But honestly, i don't care because the existence (or the possibility of such) bears no affect on my life. Sure, if these aliens came down in a War of the Worlds fashion and try attacking us, or in a Star Trek fashion and make peace with us, i'd feel differently. But then, the answer to the poll would have been obvious and the poll itself would have been unnecessary. So, i remain apathetic and agnostic on the issue. If they exist, fine. If they don't, fine as well.
7 of 9?
I knew that.
Chris the much less, you wrote: 'i remain apathetic and agnostic on the issue.'
I pray for your soul. They are among us.
i see Mexicans all the time. They're aliens...and i'll posit that they're intelligent considering that they've evaded the US Border Patrol.
