You assume life originated on Earth. Microbes could have come from Mars or Venus originally, in which case we are aliens.

Hate to break it to you, but the origin of life is purely a hypothetical situation. There is no evidence that life originated on Earth, and there is no evidence it came from somewhere else. This is the definition of a hypothesis, a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Replace aliens with God and see how illogical you are. As of now, there is no evidence or reason to believe there is life elsewhere in the universe. There's a chance a quantum fluctuation could produce a zebra somewhere in deep space, but just because there is a chance doesn't give any more reason to think its happened sans evidence.

Perhaps there is a universal law accepted by advanced species that states underdeveloped worlds are to be left alone until they are capable of intergalactic travel.
Other beings could easily have been monitoring us since the birth of our solar system with no intention to intervene. There would be no purpose to, seeing as we are still so primitive and giving technology or information to such a destructive species could be dangerous.

Aren't any.

Abiogenesis is incredibly rare, even in a multiverse, and only occurred in our universe because the other timelines where it didn't occur aren't visible to us. A timeline where it occurred twice, in two seperate locations within the same universe, is highly unlikely, and because it threatens our extinction (eliminating our privileged viewership), didn't happen.

Why is everyone so fedora when it comes to aliens? "I am certain as to what goes on in every corner of the cosmos". Come on man. I don't know for sure if they are out there but I have a strong belief they are based n probability and as for whether they have ever visited us, I'm not sure either but I have seen convincing evidence that they have. At the end of the day the only right answer is "I don't fucking know". UFOs have never been conclusively proven OR disproven.

I wonder why is everybody assuming that aliens are more advanced than us. Like people saying why they have not visit us yet etc. Maybe most aliens are still in some kind of medieval ages and they don't even know about other planets. It is possible that we are most advanced race in universe.

If you can get as far as a medieval age, it's not going to take very long to advance beyond that. Pretty much all of human history has taken place in a tiny amount of time.

More likely that most alien life would just be single celled microbes. If they had gotten as far as developing intelligence, then they would almost certainly be far more advanced than us.

The thing that always bugged me about this hypothesis is that people always talk like it needs to be either A or B. Either all life originated here or it came here on a meteorite. Why couldn't most life have originated here, and at the same time we had a few hitchhikers from ancient mars?

All living organisms store genetic information using the same molecules, DNA and RNA. Written in the genetic code of these molecules is the evidence of common ancestry among all living things. If you go back far enough everything originates from the same source. I find it unlikely two variations of life formed on totally different planets merged into one.
