For that matter, please present your proof that I do believe in something, as you claimed earlier that I must.
You believe that I'm wrong for stating what I said.

Again, presuming too much. From my perspective, I do not believe in anything. Your perspective is that I must. It is possible that there is something that I do actually believe in. It is possible that there is nothing I believe in.
It is possible that there is life on other planets. It is possible that there isn't.
Get it yet?
even if he added an extra zero to the billions of years Earth has been here
Sorry for that. You're right of course.
But I did remember to change my European "Milliard" (1000 Million, 1/1000 of a European "Billion") into the US "Billion". .

We even think that we can destroy our own planet!! How could we, us fraile little humans, destroy an entire planet??
I don't think we have to worry about destroying the planet- just our ability to live on it.

when will we make contact?
If someone or something were to give me absolute proof that alien life exists, I'd simply say "I had always assumed it was true".
I fully expect there to be life elsewhere. And the possibility that they've already made contact with us is also something I pretty much expect.
However the whole thing of using recorvered ET technology from crashed or shot down alien craft is a bit un-nerving. Sure we have to learn what we can the only way to do it effectively would be by attempting to reverse engineer one of these things. But not let's not forget that the laws of physics that we go by are based on science that we've learned over the years. As we learn more and do more research we will undoubtedly discover that the laws of physics as we know them are conditionally true. Think of it like this; we know that 1+1=2, but when we discover an added element (such as a - sign) we learn that 1+1 did = 2 until we learned a new element; the minus sign. When we applied that newly discovered element we now will get a different answer.
What power's these alien craft? How can we be sure that one wrong move when "toying" with the engineering of one of these things won't result in a black hole, or some other strange phenomenon, resulting in global destruction.
Science and discovery always involves risk; that is inescapeable. Let's just hope that a worst case scenerio never takes place.
If I were a scientist and the opportunity to work on these alien craft were presented to me, I'd pounce on it like a cat on frightened mouse.
