Christian beliefs aside....

i'd find it hard to believe there isn't life out there.

that being said, they obviously aren't more advanced than us because they haven't gotten to us either.

Who is to say they haven't, or don't have a desire to?

I don't know about that. It might be true for our own galaxy, but you are underestimating the vastness of the universe. What if the closest civilization that has developed a way of traveling via wormhole is 500,000 galaxies away from us? The chances of them just happening upon us are miniscule.

That's like an ant on an abandoned island assuming that there are no humans because we haven't visited them. Why would aliens go out of their way to see us, especially considering the number of years it may take to reach us? We like to think of ourselves as being more interesting and intelligent than we actually are. They would likely be so much more intelligent than we are that I doubt they have any real desire to communicate with us, especially considering the state of 90% of our population and our entire history.

Even as a Christian myself i believe there is other life out there. I believe God left some things for us to find out on our own...there are many things in this world we don't know about.

I think there are some things that God does not want us to know about, things the human brain can't comprehend or be responsible enough to use.

For all we know, there are many other planets with life who have a different history story that is similar to ours and follow the same God.

I find that extremely hard to believe that we are at the pinnacle of advancement and that humans are the top dogs in this vast universe and we can't even keep our planet clean. There's another planet and civilization out there somewhere thats far more advanced than us.
