I don't trust them either :D
I guess we will never really be happy with any proof until they come down and talk to us. I don't think anything else will suffice cos we will always be sceptical at the very least.

Which is as it should be.

We are a warlike species, we kill our own kind, we are xenophobic and racist to members of our own species, we consider ourselves to be above all other life forms on this planet, and have no respect for other life forms, we are barbaric.
We would view them as threat, we would be wary of their intentions and their technology would by all purposes be immediately used/stolen/backward engineered for military purposes/control against our own species.

Reason enough?

Rofl:D
If they were that superior to us then they would also be able to stop us from doing that dont you think?

Are you a member of the scientologie religion?

No. Not even close. Any civilization that has perfected interstellar travel has nothing to fear from us.

I would disagree with that. We'll never know once the most definitive sets of evidence comes to light. It could be today for all we know...

I believe that we are not alone in this unimaginably large universe. But I doubt I will see/hear any concrete proof of this in my lifetime...

I can't believe 26 people believe in aliens, so that means 26 folks loved E.T. ? ;) :D :p

As a scientific question. Unsure.

We do not know how life started.
We do not know the conditions in which life arose for sure. How can we when we don't know how?
You not only need favourable starting conditions (what are they?), but the conditions need to be sustained over a period of time. We do not know what fraction of planets in the universe had (still have) favourable conditions for life to arise and were (are) stable enough to sustain life over an extended time.

Not exactly sure how people can come up with statements like "high probability". It is just speculation without a shred of scientific evidence.

As a philosophical question? Sure, why not?

I occasionally read their ramblings on this forum as well. ;)

Strange, I read their their crap every day. You must be referring to those you love to engage with so frequently, especially the last few months? ;)

Some aliens I know can respawn and return under different alien alises.
