I do believe in aliens, but then again, I don't. Let me explain.

To believe in aliens, you have to believe that there is at least one other planet capable of fostering intelligent life. I don't dismiss this possibility, so to that extent, I believe in aliens.

As for why I don't, it is a matter of time. Earth is a little over 4.5 BILLION years old. Homo Sapiens have only been around for about 200,000 years. We've only achieved behavioral modernity 50,000 years ago. We've only developed radio communication within the last 130 years. We left the planet about 5 decades ago. We have yet to get a human on another planet. 4.5 billion years and the most advanced species on this planet has never set foot on another planet. I don't know what the future holds but if the human species is in any kind of decline, our window of opportunity is closing real fast.

For all the planets that are in the habitable zones of their respective stars, it is possible that some of these will eventually create life. However, if the timeline of that occurrence is similar to the timeline here on Earth, then each one of those planets, ours included, will only see intelligent life capable of space travel for just a blink of time in a span of billions of years. I don't think intelligent life is created at the same speed or that the planets themselves were created at the same time.

So for us to see aliens or them to see us, our planets have to have their opportunities for intelligent life capable of interstellar communication or travel to exist at the same time. I don't see that being possible. Mars may very well get intelligent life someday through no influence from us. Will it happen during the period of our existence? I doubt it.
good analysis

Unless we are cells in a bigger body (the universe being the body) it's pretty retarded not to believe in aliens considering how large the universe is.

I certainly do believe in extraterrestial life in our universe,
but not shit like people spotting UFOs on earth etc.
Science should not be confused with History Channel's
"Ancient aliens" and "UFO hunters" for sure.

I believe in alien lifeforms on a microscopic level, not the made up creatures Hollywood has come up with.

Do you believe in Aliens? The question is wrong. You're essentially comparing belief in God with belief in Aliens.
Do you think that Aliens exist? That would be a better question.
Yes, I do. We are alien too.

Back in many moon ago. If you lived on a small island, and boat wasn't invented yet. Your world will only be the small island and as far as you can swim.

Once we invented the boat and travel to another islands. Some island will have people, so don't.

I think we are living in a small island (Planet) right now. We will bump into a planet which have live.

As a scientist I find it fascinating that so many people are certain of the existence of space aliens.  There is no real evidence to support this position yet we see that a majority of people here still believe. At the same time many well founded, even proven, theories are dismissed because of a "belief" they are not true.

I'm curious as to why. Why would someone believe in say aliens, when there is no science behind it? On what is this belief based?  

We don't have evidence as of now, But there is very high probability that they exist. We are still a very young civilization that still don't have any proper technology to determine if its true or not.
