You know Golem, maybe this is a good reason to start a new thread, but I'm with you all the way on there being life on other planets and even intelligent life. But there are "armchair logic" reasons I can come up with that would refute the idea of them visiting this planet in the form of something we could detect (ie, big organic creatures in an airplane-sized ship).

And it may be fine to "live and let live" when it comes to benign beliefs, but that has a way of securing a passage to the more malignant forms of supernatural belief. And when these irrational convictions take the form of legislation and warmongering (as in my country), that's when we start to have a problem.
