Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.

Growing up in a devout Muslim society, I was made to believe that aliens don't exist.

But I simply thought that this couldn't really be possible since there's at least a few other planets that have signs of life, surely there's a civilization in there, even if it's as smart as the animals on earth.

What planet has signs of life?

This YouTube short lists one.

I should welcome your downvotes if you're somehow not convinced enough, or if you simply hate YouTube Shorts like I do.

It says "oceans of water could exist there"

I understand the 3d animations look really cool and convincing to some people but there's no evidence here for any sign of life. They don't even have evidence for water... Just pure speculation.

Yeah, I'm probably just very very stupid.
