Alien life forms in our galaxy are very unlikely to exist, and if they do, they exist in the form of single-celled organisms.

This such a limited way of thinking. I have no proof of alien life here or visiting or anything - I’ll leave the wild claims to the retired “defense contractors” - but to look at all the billions of stars, know of how many Goldilocks planets there much be out there and then conclude that not only is there nothing out there, but also that if we don’t have technology to use wormholes or something similar nothing else does is a special kind of something.

I doubt we are the only life in the universe.  Why should we be?  
No idea about aliens visiting Earth, but I don't see what should be so unique about Earth among the likely millions of planets in the universe that we should be the only intelligent life out there.[/quote]

I sort of hold the mirror image of this opinion. It’s not clear to me that the size of the universe alone means there must aliens—surely some things aren’t reducible to everyday probabilistic determinations—but if there are aliens who are capable of travel to earth and if they think like humans (a totally unjustified assumption), I don’t know why they wouldn’t want to come see what we’re up to. If we discovered life on another planet, I don’t think there’d be some subset of planets where we say “eh, not unique enough”[/quote]
