You have been reading too much junk or watching too many movies. I keep having premonitions that I'm going to win the Mega Millions lottery, but so far, I still have to get up in the morning and go to work.
First, we don't know of any aliens. Second, if they came from another star, they probably will only send a single vessel with a limited crew, as observers rather than as 'conquerors'. Third, what do you have that they'd want. Fourth, why assume they'll be like the hollywood aliens? Perhaps the first contacts will be with their "priests" wanting to convert us to their religion. Fifth, if they try anything, shoot them between the antennae and see if their evolution enables them to absorb high speed metal chunks without harm.

Well, if humans are right in believing that they have discovered all elements, then it could very well be possible. (This is all just assumptions, please dont critisize)
All lifeforms needs oxygen to exist. It is, still to be proven incorrect, a fact. Because there are many stars gases floating throughout the atmosphere, it could be possible. We would only find out if there are other lifeforms once the universe begins to contract. (We are still expanding, but this will not last forever) If there are 'aliens' out there, they probably wouldn't be the like the media has shown them to be. They would probably have the form of bacteria, or smalll organisms. Take cockroaches, for example. They are probably the only creatures which could survive an atom bomb. For a species to grow larger, and to develop, it needs few/no predators-check humans, we have been growing in size (height wise!) over the past centuries, and whales are another example. Only successful organisms survive. So, if there ARE aliens out there, they won't be a threat. It would take them millions of years to get here anyway (in that time period they would die anyway) because THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LIGHT SPEED! Sorry, all of you star-wars and battlestar-gallactica fans, you can not travel faster than light, because energy is equivallent to mass x speed of light (squared). So, no worries.

Whatever your mental state is the fact remains that interstellar distances almost certainly preclude manned (aliened?) space travel. The energy requirements are absurdly high, maintaining life support would be a nightmare, and unless you have the fictional Star Trek mechanisms of shields and structural integrity fields, hitting a speck of dust will destroy your ship with the yield of a small nuclear weapon. Even without dust, travel at near C would involve deadly levels of radiation from impacting interstellar hydrogen molecules, which are quite common.
And the Drake equation is far too optimistic. The chances for intelligence are so vanishing low that our existence is a cosmic quirk. Its almost enough to make this confirmed agnostic religious.

I do believe lot in aliens. There should be some other form of life in this space. It's true that we have discovered a lot of things here in the space. But there are more to discover. Somewhere there might be aliens. And they might have found about us and maybe they are already planning to invade here. It may not be an invasion but it could be a visit. But we can't be sure. We can't be sure about anything that occours in this space.

The possibility exist, but we have not found any proof of life outside of earth either of microscopic organisms or advanced intelligent life. Until we do the chances are between slim and none, but as soon as we have proof, it jumps to 100%. Chances are we do not see life outside of Earth, because we have not developed the technology that would allow us to see life on planets in other solar systems in the galaxy.

It's quite doubtful. The amount of human history is insufficient to determine whether or not intelligence is a characteristic that tends toware survival or extinction. Consider the beetle, a much more successful evolutionary model.

Some people think there are aliens, and some don't. We're still trying to discover stuff out there and some people think we're bound to discover life on other planets. I'm not sure about it but I think it would be the coolest thing!

I quote ...."no i am not drunk i am very sober."
Any way the amount of time and stars out there would suggest there would be life out there. Wether or not they will show up here is another story.

Yes, I would bet large sums of money on it.
They probably live thousands or even millions, possibly billions of light years away, BUT they're there somewhere. The universe is way to big even for us to fully imagine.
You'd have to be severly egotistical and naive not to think so.
A light year is 6 trillion miles! That's ONE light year. There are celestial objects that are millions of light years away.
Think about it.

Expecting the aliens to when you least expect it -- now there's a contradiction almost like --
