there are trillions of galaxies in the universe, I guess it's arrogant to think that we are the only intelligent form of life

We do not have enough information to make that call.Although we have satisfactorily explained the incredible diversity of life on this planet,in all reality,we do not know exactly how the first life formed.Even if we were to create life in the lab,we still wouldn't know if those were THE conditions that led to life.It would answer many questions,but create many more.We DON'T KNOW if life MUST be based on DNA.We DON'T know yet if intelligence is actually a good survival traight in the long run.What helped us achieve supremacy on this planet may end up being the very traight that enables us to self-exterminate as a species.Until we have more than 1 subject to study(the earth),we cannot make any definitive conclusions.There are entirely too many variables to take into consideration.We would not even have evolved if an asteroid of a certain size had not impacted at a certain time.Many will cite "THE DRAKE EQUATION" as "proof"there must be intelligent life out there.It is no such thing.The results one gets from the Drake equation are completely arbitrary,you must speculate as to the numbers to insert.If ANY number in the equation is in fact zero,then the total of other intelligences will then equal zero.We have yet to detect any radio signals from space,and that is not for the lack of a concerted efoort.We have been listening for years,not one signal.This does not prove that intelligent life does not exist in the cosmos.Itdoes,however,seem to imply that no civilisation has developed radio technology in our corner of the universe,or at least not yet,or they either died out long ago and no longer transmit,or they long ago advanced past the use of radio.Still,no signals at all lead me to skepticism,but not outright dismissal.I certainly would like to think there is much more life "out there"but lack of proof pushes me to be agnostic about the matter

I'd be afraid to think that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the universe, 'specially when they're so damned stupid.

I accept that it's likely that there is life out there in space but I don't believe that any intelligent life has visited this planet.

While I believe there may be plant and animal life on other planets, I personally do not believe there is intelligent life on other planets.
Issues raised in the garden of Eden must be settled first before intelligent creation could expand elsewhere.

I cant see why we would be the only ppl in the universe. It's a big place and why should we assume that we are the only inhabitants?

I don't disbelieve but agree with what you say. Our Universe is but one in countless others. Before saying outerspace, I think might be a bit ambiguous. This could also be interdimensional. Try extraterrestrial

Yeah, I agree. Mathematically speaking, given the amount of suns (ie stars) in our galaxy, and the amount of galaxy's in the universe, it's pretty arrogant to believe we are alone in the universe.

I think it's stupid to believe in things without proof.

Aliens are very much real but they are not beings that plan on taking over the world and they aren't what people think they are. Studies show that they are Fallen angels and its all a big deception, They are mentioned also throughout the bible.
