The reason why aliens aren't real is the same reason why ghosts aren't real: there's no proof.
To the people who believe in aliens and UFOs: do you believe in ghosts?
From a sheer political and logical standpoint, there's another incredibly obvious reason why aliens and ghosts aren't real: if they were real, the entire world <I>would</I> know about them, and pretty much everything that is written and recorded in science books would have to be rewritten. If your neighbor has a haunted house, answer this question: why is the media not there? Why are scientists not there? Why is paranormal activity, which would turn science upside down, not replicable when we want it to be?
If there really are UFOs, why have they never been successfully and repeatedly been recorded? There are organizations that are in existance to search and find UFOs and ghosts. Why have they failed? Why have they not succeeded <I>once</I> since history began?
Because ghosts aren't real and aliens in spaceships aren't real. If either of these phenomenon were real, it would be the biggest scientific discovery that our world has ever seen. Once is all it takes. One spaceship. One ghost. ONE event that has been recorded or duplicated and the myths would be over...proof requires one simple example and the ghosts and UFOs won't give it up. Isn't it a bit odd that history has been recorded for thousand of years and we can't get a single damn ghost or alien to say hello? It's because they're not out there.
I also believe that there is no way of telling or even guessing that extra terrestrial life exists. Many say that since there are billions of stars in our galaxy surely there are planets with life. Right? Riight?? The problem is, we don't know how lucky we are. We don't know if we're flukes or if we're the norm. Until we know that it's impossible to guess if life exists on any scale. Look at Mars. Look at Venus. Those are what Earth should have been, but by a stroke of luck we didn't melt or freeze.
