Not even aliens? You really think there's zero other life forms in this universe?

I also don't believe in aliens. The cliche Hollywood aliens that is that will abduct you and put probes inside you.

Im sure that there are other lifeforms in some other system just not the flying sorcerer type.

Ugh, I hope you're right. Flying aliens would be bad enough. But if the bastards can muticlass and use magic as well... we'd be doomed.

Just setup a fountain with a toxic chemical in it with a sign to not drink from it. Based on every party I have ever been on half of them will be dead in minutes.

Do other lifeforms exist? Sure. Have any ever visited earth? Definitely not.

Thirdly, if they were to visit Earth, do you really think that given the difficulty of traversing space, that you'd be able to identify signs of their arrival?
