Because of all the things humanity has learned about the universe, none of them has turned out to be aliens or evidence of aliens. You can theorize it all you want, but so far every time the universe has just turned out to be a big, strange place.

Aren’t we the evidence for aliens?

  We're a pretty big statistical outlier as far as any of us can tell.

    We exist, therefore it is proven.

      We are not evidence that aliens capable of colonizing gas giants exist.

        I beg to differ. In a trillion plus rocks floating in a vacuum and we colonize this one, I don’t see why candy flos planets controlled by beings is so far fetched. We have Bluetooth toasters!

        You said "proven" and now you're saying "[not] so far fetched." I still think it's far fetched, but I'm satisfied that you aren't claiming proof anymore.

        One in a trillion plus rocks sounds like a pretty big statistical outlier.
