Humans To Encounter Aliens By 2031: Russian Scientist



A top Russian astronomer claimed Monday that humans will encounter extraterrestrial life by 2031.

"Life exists on other planets and we will find it within 20 years," the scientist Andrei Finkelstein said, according to the Interfax News Agency.

The astronomer added that 10 percent of known planets circling suns in the galaxy resemble Earth, making life on such planets highly likely, and that aliens are most likely to resemble humans with two arms, two legs and a head, per Reuters.

Finkelstein made the remarks at the opening of the international symposium called "The Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence" in St. Petersburg, The Voice Of Russia reported. He says he is convinced based on the fundamental laws of life that life exists throughout the universe.

The search for extraterrestrial life has gained momentum in recent months. The Journal of Cosmology ran an article in March from Richard B. Hoover, claiming evidence of alien microfossils were found in a meteor, suggesting extraterrestrial life. NASA made headlines in December when it announced it found a new form of life with a DNA completely alien to everything we know.

The Search For ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute is currently seeking to raise money for its ongoing search, having recently cut back on some of its operations due to lack of funding.

We might find evidence of extraterre­strial life, say, maybe theoretica­l virus or bacteria fossils in meteorites or in Mars rocks, but, no, we will not find humanoid life anywhere ever. I find this theory so arrogant and yet ignorant that it is almost repulsive. Why would ANY alien life form be even remotely configured like us? Are we so perfect that our configurat­ion is the ultimate in physical makeup? I hardly think so, it is more of the "God made man in his own image" baloney, only now we are making aliens in our own image. Think about it, we are the ONLY creatures (out of countless billions) that are native to this planet that look as we do. Oh, sure, monkeys have a few similariti­es, but, come on, they do NOT look remotely human. Why would an alien have to have a head, walk upright, have binocular eyes, hands with thumbs, and jointed skeletal systems? WHY??? I'll tell you why, because movies had to use guys in costumes to tell their dumb sci-fi stories and we became used to that. Why wouldn't an alien life form be like a squid? How about a puddle of liquid? Maybe even a plant?

Man has a finite mind.Or is it? Or is it capable of ever expanding? Ezekiel described and wrote down in the Bible what he saw as God and the angels came and left.Danie­l in Revelation­s desribed what he saw."Iron birds filled the skies as grains of sand on the beach." One followed with a drawing of a submarine.­Where once a technology was not envisioned­,only the outcome was.The abacus became a calculator­.Things in the Bible written long ago have come to be. Technologi­es have been created to make things in the Bible happen after it was written.El­isha and Christ have opened the eyes of others so that they could see the legions of angels there.Many lean toward it being a vision in the minds eye and not what spectrum of light our eyes can see.The Bible speaks of animals being able to see what we cannot.Man­y see that with our own animals.Ca­n the mind see into another dimension? Or the bodies spirit? Does the spirit leave us when we sleep and return to wake us? Does it leave us at death as ecclesiast­us tells us,"When the silver chord parts,the spirit returns to the father from whence it came." The Bible states that a spirit can enter and exit a physical body.Is it also confined to space and time and dimensions­?Maybe one day technology can capture a spirit when a body dies.Who knows.
