There is so much evidence of aliens visiting here, also advanced technology being used in ancient times.
Mere Humans that we are we do not want to think that we are alone. We have big foot Loch ness and extraterrestrials.
You are a man of a few words,eh??
It would only make sense that life exists elsewhere. Question is, is there Intelligent life out there.?
James Michener’s book “SPACE “ concluded with just this question.
The last chapter of the book is worth reading. Apparently this question about extra terrestrial intelligent life was posited by the scientific method, based on our own life.
1) how long it took for intelligent life on earth to come about.
2) how old our planet is.
3) how old is our galaxy
4) how many type of class M planets are
there.
5) how many class M planets have there
ever likely to have existed.
6) the likelihood that other intelligent life would not have k**led them selves or simply died out (due to asteroid impact, desease, war, home sun going nova, etc,)
There was more to it all in the book but I believe that the conclusion was that the likelihood of intelligent life in our galaxy stated that there are possibly 13.
This was done by NASA scientists.
I would recommend the book, though it’s a bit of a long read, as so many of his books are. But well worth it.

I love his books but did not know about that one. He wrote one called the source that showed the origins of Israel that was really educational.
I'd simply refer you to the video and book, The Privileged Planet. Authors and professor Guillermo Gonzalez, an astrophysicist and professor Jay Richard set out to prove that Earth was one of only one of many places in the universe where intelligent life existed, or, as Carl Sagan declared, “a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark”. The results of their work and their conclusions are just the opposite. That those same extremely rare conditions that produce a habitable planet, that allow for the existence of complex observers like ourselves, also provide the best overall place for observing. Mathematically, our location is much more critical to the science of observation, than it is to real estate. They established mathematically that while Earth and its local environment provide a delicate, and probably exceedingly rare cradle for complex life, its location is extraordinarily well suited to allow us to peer into the heavens and discover its secrets.
The video blew me away. As a patent holding, former research chemist, I found the science behind it to be compelling.

How??
Do you mean "Why"? Well, I have seen no evidence of any extra terrestrial activity presented other than speculation such as "Area 51" stuff etc. My own personal view is that God created this wonderful place for us to live and to develop as he has given us the tools and intelligence to do so. We have been given the power to wonder and it is natural for us to wonder if there is life out there. I think it is a corollary of the "monkey typing all of Shakespeares works" or something like what I believe was Aristotle's proposal. May have been Plato. Anyway, I read this past week that a bacterium found on another planet is evidence of life but a heartbeat in an unborn baby is not. Hmmm!! Matter of viewpoint, I guess.

Here's a short read that makes more sense to me: Psalm 8.

Religion does not allow for speculation.
I believe we are alone and that GOD created the universe so vast that we cannot even fathom just how vast HE is or how long eternity is.
