Once irrefutable proof arises, probably being in the shape of a living and breathing alien life form with decent ESL abilities (every alien speaks English on TV, right?), then we'll need to re-examine who we really are and what our role in the universe will be. That said ... I don't think the majority of us are ready to accept that a greater intelligence in the universe may exist, aside from that of God. Perhaps we'll be ready for such a revelation in another few generations when we've solved a few more of our bigger problems and come to terms with our petty differences and disagreements :???: Indeed.

I honestly am not sure what to think about whether or not they have visited or know of our existence....or if we are like ants in their ant farm or what :S One thing about this topic, the only way the argument would ever end is for some unrefutable proof of their existence to be discovered...

Yes, I know, worm holes, black holes, etc. could possibly get past Einsteins Theory of Relativity and mean that aliens could visit Earth but I doubt it. There are a billion x a billion stars in the Universe and the chances that even a few hundred let alone a few million of them support a planet that supports life is highly likely in my book. I think I am going to go see the new X Files movie though. I’m also in the camp of they probably exist but the laws of physics mean they are not here and have never visited hear.
