They already found us:
I bought a slightly used Interocitor off this guy. It's great at spying on my ex-girlfriend.

“If life is bacterium then Id be surprised if there wasnt a lot of it out there in the galaxy.”
I’d be very surprised if we find even bacterium anywhere out there. We still know of no way that life can spontaneously appear from inanimate matter, so why would we expect to find it anywhere we look?

“and well likely never visit a single one.”
The Voyager space craft launched in the 70’s have just recently left our solar system. If they had been sent on an intercept of Alpha Centauri, the next closest star, they would arrive in just less than 100K years.

We still know of no way that life can spontaneously appear from inanimate matter, We may not know how, but we can be certain that.

“We may not know how, but we can be certain that.”
No, we can’t, but many will keep telling themselves that because they don’t want to accept the ramifications of the alternative.

Reality has to arrive somehow.

Even if we assume that life requires a literal act of God, we cannot assume that earth is the only place He deigned to act.

I agree. If he only intended for us to be here on earth, why bother with the rest of His infinite creation? He either made us the only ones, and intended for us to someday go out and subdue other worlds, or He made life on other worlds, too. Maybe both. I know He created life here, but I learned long ago to not assume I know all of His plans for His creation.

Im not all that interested in intelligent life. It presents nothing but problems. What we need is life we can eat.

I wouldn’t call that an assumption, I’d call it the most reasonable conclusion from the evidence we have available.
To: Boogieman
*shrug* There’s more Biblical evidence for extraterrestrial life than there is for the western hemisphere.

People come from the heavens above, find earth girls attractive, mate with them and have children with them.
It’s right there in Genesis.
Show me any mention of the Americas.
