    It’s really stupid to not believe in aliens given the size of the universe.

        What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!

        I also agree with this statement, although it’s well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That’s a timescale of a few billion years.

        But it’s still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in how you live your life.

      People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they’ve encountered or somehow know of these aliens.

      Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.

      Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.

      “Earth First” is an interesting and compelling explanation for the Fermi Paradox.
