"Believe" is the wrong verb here. I believe that the Irish rugby team will one day win the world cup (despite all evidence to the contrary). I accept that the available evidence does not support the hypothesis of non-human intelligences having contacted us (certainly not widely). It's certainly possible that Earth has been visited or contacted by non-human intelligences. I'd imagine if you have the technology for interstellar travel, it would be pretty trivial to evade detection. But just because you can't rule it out, doesn't mean it happened. Also, WTF is a "scientismist"? Is that a typo or a misguided attempt to conflate science with scientism?
