I quite hope we won't find inteligent life in awhile, since we are so stupid ourself.
I swear, once we get alian contact, all our differiences as humans will be forgotten. Racism will end and the idiots will turn their hate towards those even stranger. I wouldn't want to give a whole diffrent form of life that welcome, so I suppose it should be done secretly or not at all.
Yes I believe that too. And also any civilization exposed to a much more advanced civilization results to the downfall of the much inferior civilization. Like what happened during the imperial ages, where Britain, Spain, Portugal etc. colonized much inferior civilizations like Philippines, India, Mexico... And although India and Mexico had such a vast empire, they diminished once this technologically advanced civilizations met them. Same would happen to us humans/earthlings if some sort of Alien Civilization with advanced technology Light years away from ours were to visit us.
And answering the Topic Question: Yeah, I believe they exist... It'd be a waste of the vastness of space that only us, earthlings, were the only life form. And also think of other Earth-like planets... third from their star, would somehow create civilizations similar to ours, if the evolution process would be the same.
but I don't believe that any alien has ever visited us, unlike other ET believers.
