Yes - aliens and sightings are just a figment of deluded peoples minds
No - and one day we will discover each other
No - They have been visiting us for years, hell, the probing continues
No - they started it all, and we are their descendents
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible."

I hear what you saying, and it would be difficult to just happen on another planet that contained intelligent life, but surely the objective would be to find other life, then it comes a situation of narrowing the search field to the planets that could support life.... and suddenly the universe becomes a whole lot smalller
“Well, if you see anything crawl out of the sea and try to breathe, you could try telling it not to bother.”
Here's another one for you guys, how do we define "Life" if we find something and then define "intelligent life"
My ignore list: n/a
How did no body yet post this meme here...
Good questions, because my belief is that there may be some form of life on other planets, but they will be in the form of bacteria, viruses or plasmids.
Now for the question about intelligence, a French philosopher said it best when we he said: "I think, therefore I am". It is probably the statement to classify any species as intelligent. If any organism is capable of making a decision, be it what to eat, when to sleep, where to go, it must be classified as "intelligent".
well that rules out half of humanity
