A bit strong saying there 'are no two ways about it' - show me the certain proof, although I agree the chances of there not being life in other parts of the Universe are vanishingly small.
But from what I can tell, everything we know about physics suggests that if aliens exist, then they're too far away to visit us. That, or we may not be worth the effort/costs involved, there are probably nicer places nearer. Otherwise with so much life probably out there, we'd be awash with alien tourism if the physics permitted (and not just North America).

Rob Philpott.

How do you know for sure that we (humans) didn't come from another planet? Maybe some biological substance was attached to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs and we evolved from that?
Same applies to any of the species on earth really, how do we know this is their origin planet?
I think humans are so fascinated by the thought of aliens visiting that they assume it will/would happen around modern times (and not possible it already happened millions of years ago).

We know nothing "for sure"; but if we were aliens we'd not share this much DNA with life as it evolved here.
I do like the fact that se thinks her gender is somehow important.

Early life was not spacefaring or sentient.

Mostly fantasy and arrogance. There's an entire ecosystem in your guts. It may just be they build their colonies in our sh*t.

Well, it must be called a "colon" for a reason... coincidence or conspiracy - you decide.

This is what happens when you let women go to space.

One of my earlier bosses as one meeting declared that our company's greatest asset was the humans.
So I suggested that we employ more women so that we could increase our assets.
My (mostly male) workmates applauded.

if these aliens are smarter then us why would they stay here?
for laughs maybe, but jokes, particularly THIS one, i.e. "us" get old real fast.
sure there's people that still watch and a few that even laugh at "funniest home videos" or "clodbert" etc
- but doesn't that just prove how bad some people are, and the rest only marginally better (for allowing that to happen)

I think, and I've often had this thought, that the aliens here are really not too bright. They get by but they're just fun loving fools for the most part. I mean you know how hard it can be when English is your second language, what about if Human was your second species...

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

As per US Immigration procedure, any non-US citizen entering the US is an Alien. This means that all non-US citizens are aliens, which is more than 90 percent of the world population.
