UFO or alieans do exist, not the grey little men we have envisioned but rather, other life in other galaxies weather extremely advanced or just simple bacteria. It is incredibly naive to think that we are the only creatures to exist in our expansive universe, just because we haven't found evidence does not mean we should discredit the possibility

That could be. Considering the limited quantum states possible for a 1x1x1 meter cube and the size/matter of existence, probability states that probably there is a perfect carbon copy of you in the EXACT state as you are now. With that said, probability isn't reality. What are the chances of flipping a coin and it landing on its side, not heads up or heads down, a trillion times in a row? Impossibly small, yet that doesn't mean it can't happen. What I'm getting at is even though there SHOULD be life out there, it's not guaranteed.

All I can say is this, if an advanced species does make first contact with the human race, I hope to god it's not Amercia cuz they'll fuck it up so bad, rather we should choose a different nation to be the basis of earth central point of contact. We do not want to wage war accidental on a race far superior than ours because as history has taught us, the superior race will not only win the war but either enslave or completely eradicate the race, or in this case, our species.

Playing the numbers game again, we are out of the equation if aliens discover us. The universe is over 13 billion years old while Earth is only 4.5 billion years old. Factor in that humans only started complex buildings and tools a few thousand years ago and you can see how "new" our society is. Think again how even an army from 200 years ago could be crushed by any modern superpower. If aliens discovered us it is very, very unlikely that they wouldn't be millions or even billions of years more advanced then us. To them we would be the equivalent of sub-atomic particles living in a flea.
However that doesn't necessarily mean we are doomed. It is a human characteristic to apply human traits to aliens so that is why we always envision them as hostile and wanting resources.
