We simply currently lack the technology for the Alcubuirre (or however it is spelled) Warp Drive to work, and we haven't figured out negative energy yet, but who knows?

Furthermore, if aliens do intend to strike Earth, it would most likely be for cultural reasons. A species that aims to purge the galaxy of all other sentient life would be the only ones with motive to wipe out humanity.
It is more likely that an advanced species moved past violence, and aim to unite the galaxy under their benevolent rule. In that case, yay.

My guess would be causality. Physics has already thrown everything that sounds sensible and reasonable out the window at this point and that's really the only thing still left.
