Not always. For example, if a scientist needs to deal with a situation she cannot explain, she first postulates the existence of something she has no proof for, acts as if it did indeed exist and, unless it turns out to be a pretty useless idea that is not getting her anywhere, she's going to hold that belief regardless of any proof she may have. That's how most scientific programmes work.

The question is not whether aliens exist: the question is - what is an alien? There could be zillions of life forms out there, but it doesn't entail from that that they drive space saucers and have glowing fingers.
I wouldn't be surprised if the first "alien" ever found turned out to be bacteria. |

Thats what I'm expecting. I'm pretty sure there's life out there, but its in the form of bacteria, maybe even wildlife. But other, intelligent beings such as us? It'll be an extremely long time before we find them. Also, what are the chances of multiple, intelligent life forms existing at the same time? |

I would be shocked if it wasn't. |

| Humans lived on Venus before the greenhouse effect wiped out all proof of life there. Crazy talk, but once we go through our greenhouse effect (provided we distract ourselves with everything except space conquistadoring), Martians will look at Earth wondering if a past civilization lived here before all was burned away. |

we may never find them , we might be extinct before we do. It would be ignorant to assume we are the only intelligent beings out there at this moment though. |

We truly are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
I get goosebumps every time I look at something showing the vastness of the universe. |

Except earth has this amazing thing called the carbon cycle, you should look into it. |
