As his influence and reach grows, he will build ever larger spheres, until we are like those Russian stacking dolls, layer up on layer upon layer, each one slightly different in its composition, but part of a group all the same. *nods sagely*

EDIT: Goddammit, Dushan. Damn your stealthy ninja posting!

Apparently, not allowing land aliens to go to Murica isn't enough.

The Trumptator needs someone to landscape his lawns and cook him delicious taco salads, silly. Think of the Bigger Picture™!

You mean landscape his moon crater and cook him ewok salad?

I think Newt Gingrich's seeming immortality is evidence enough of extraterrestrial interference.

In a universe as big as ours? I'm sure they do.
'Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.' (II Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV)

Yeah, there are probably aliens. Hopefully not scary, insecty Zerg-like aliens but cool aliens like the ones from Mass Effect.

This is true, which is why we must be capable of interstellar travel before anyone else does.

Where in a massive universe that is ever expanding and the chance of other intelligent life out there is 100 percent. Think about it how can we be the only intelligent race and if we happened to come about by mistake then there's a darn good chance it's happened somewhere else several thousand times when you consider how large the universe is.

The smart ones keep out of public sight if they exist.

Also: No Giorgio?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I'd like to think so, yes. However I don't beleive that we'll ever come into contact with them, to my sadness.

Now it could be that we are completely on our own, but that's a scary thought.

Obligatory pro/anti stuff:
PRO: Individualism, classical liberalism, free market capitalism, libertarianism, secularism, egalitarianism, meritocracy, Royalism, Euroscepticism, freedom of expression, British values, MLK, Israel, Russia(not in Ukraine), Syria, Kurdistan, YPG, Peshmerga

ANTI: Collectivism, communism, socialism, Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, Trotskyism, syndicalism, anarchism, racism, religious fundamentalism(mainly Islamic), identity politics, social engineering, SJWs, feminism, BLM, Antifa, EU, multiculturalism, mass immigration, Turkey, Saudi-Arabia, Iran, FSA, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Anime

So, the same place people have said they found Jesus?

Some are extinct. Some are alive now. Some are yet to coem. The universe is BIG!
But I don't think anyone knows that we exist so far.

What would the planet they live on look like and more importantly how would they differ if at all from our own race?

To be honest, it would be interesting if they could communicate with us in some way.

Aliens can exist or not exist, regardless of whether I believe in them or not. They do not require my endorsement, nor will they be deterred by my lack thereof. I prefer to behave as if they do exist, and I hope that I can represent my society in a way that it won't be judged too harshly by a visiting stranger.

The universe is a pretty big place, so the possibility of intelligent life somewhere out there can't be ruled out.
