Confirmation of another intelligent species would be a huge scientific leap.howWell for the first time in the history of our species we would have confirmation that there is intelligent life on other planets and might give us insight on our own origins. Also the novelty of the discovery would be pretty big in itself I would imagine.

As much as we think we know everything there is always a chance we're wrong. I'm not disputing evolution but I think we could possibly learn a couple things.

Because it would be scarier if we were the only life in the universe than if we weren't.
@winyThe latter obviouslyCultural exhange with aliens would be the bomb

We feel disgust because it makes us avoid it. There is logic behind it.What logic is there in being scared about being alone in the world with only people from your city? You can always expand on your own, and there are lots of people that are so different from you in this city of yours. So what is so scary? things are, because they are. They aren't there for your sake, and you don't have to interact with them. An empty planet is an empty planet, and because you usually try to exhaust resources you find the thought of it being empty scary. Maybe I didn't hit the nail in the spot with that guess, but the underlying motive probably applies to you. You're being egotistical.

fuk u bitch I feel what I want to feel
Not really. With time we'll expand out into those reaches ourselves. With more time there will be countless new intelligent species that are our ancestors.Well that or we die out.
Why do people want aliens to exist?
