Do people believe in Alien life on earth?

I will clarify this question a bit more:

1. Do people believe that Alien beings’ inhabitant our world today? Not microorganisms from comets but sentinel life. What are your thoughts of why you believe this?
2. And/or: Have alien visited us? In history, modern as ancient? What are your thoughts of why you believe this?

I am honestly curious of what people believe in this and hear what people have to say. I stand in the category “no” even though I would have been scared to death as well as thrilled to meet an alien civilization. I will state a few reasons why I believe aliens is not directly counter everything someone is going to say but to open discussion on why you believe otherwise and based on thoughts and reasons behind it.

I am not looking for conspiracy theories but rather people’s honest thoughts of Alien life on earth.

So some reasons of why I believe it next to impossible for Aliens to be on earth:

Distance.Distance between stars is immense.

And everything is growing further away every day. Even at the speed of light it would take years to reach the nearest habitable planet.

Time of creation and Decay.Not everything in the universe is created at the same time. An example of what I mean is Mars actually. There are a lot of theories that when the Sun was hotter and younger Mars was a habitable planet with life on it. So “alien life” have existed in our little solar system. Just not at the same time as us. The same goes for most of the universe. The possibility that two species capable of interstellar flight exists at the very same exists but is very low.

But before that is decay. One theory suggest that the recourses needed to become an interstellar civilization is so high that a planets recourse that is habitable is exhausted before the civilization collapses. Earth is facing the same problem. Humankind isn’t working as one, but rather small fractions of scientists and groups of people is working for us to become an interstellar civilization. Because of these resources these small groups would need are instead focused on the current population’s entertainment or other selfish reasons. Not to become interstellar so we could mine rocks in our solar system.

Time and decay go hand in hand. The time for a civilization to become interstellar evolution wise is so slow, from what we know, and needs so many resources that by the time the civilization reaches it, or before, the civilization might collapse on itself due to lack of resources left on their own planet. This isn’t to the same to say that it is impossible, but it is an argument that says that it is highly unlikely.

Distance, Time, decay & travel time/speed.Traveling at a high speed.

The speed of light. Maybe faster. This is something many scientists still work on how to achieve. Because traveling at the speed of light isn’t enough. Anything at or below the light of speed would be a one-way trip in a way unless statis pods are involved.But look to ourselves. If we would be able to create statis pods. Get a group of scientists on their way to a solar system and come back in statis pods for research they might not return to a home they know. Much less exist. It might be a risk they would be willing to take for science but the very same laws of time exists for an alien race if they haven’t figured means of accelerate faster than the speed of light without being crushed by the sheer force of the acceleration.

The sum of all this would also mean that aliens that can travel beyond our science knowledge with interstellar flights do it blindly. They might have calculated habitable planets in different solar systems, but they would be calculations out of thousands of years old data as our Hubble scope shows. Everything we see is “old”. Nothing we see is in real time. These same laws should apply for the Aliens unless they have invented something that can see starts in real time. So even if they have somehow had the possibility to break everything I have just laid out if would still be a “chance” of a million stars that they choose our solar system to visit.
