Stephen says we need to use discernment, and that it could be way too dangerous: https://www.cnet.com/news/stephen-hawki ... y-find-us/

Meh, whatever. If there are aggressive, super-advanced spacefaring aliens in our vicinity then they'll find us sooner or later, at which point I guess we're screwed. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Between global warming, super volcanoes, nuclear weapons, super bacteria, space rocks, and so forth we'll probably be dust long before the Klingon Armada shows up.

Wouldn't think aliens would want to come slumming on earth - that is, IF they exist, and IF they are so advanced, they could tell from afar this is no planetary Club Med. Of course, maybe the only aliens are like slugs and worms?

Or maybe...

When everyone in Toronto starts speaking Spanish, like they do in Florida, then tell me aliens don't exist.

Where's your proof? Things exist unless you can prove that they don't. Those are the rules we go by here.

Not my job. It's up to you to prove that the rules don't say that.

Actually, when you make a claim as you did, the onus is on you.

So, you insult the entire forum, by saying our rules say that things exist until we can prove they don't. And then you won't show where the rules say that?

This is a Christian forum, where you are allowed as a guest. And you insult the entire forum like that?

Well, a few fellows are willing to pony up to determine if "they really are out there": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... lanet.html
