That's not saying one way or the other they exist - my jury is still out. But I'm inclined to give benefit of the doubt they do exist.

I'm sure alien life exists all over the universe. The difficulty is getting from using stone tools to travelling at 10 or 100 times the speed of light.
Given unlimited time and money a species could develop this far. The problem is time and money. Withing the next 100 years the Earth will face consequences of global warming. This will mean a small number of humans might survive, I emphasise the word might. This will bring economies crashing and our direction will be refocused to the Earth and it's well being. This applies to aliens and unless they have discovered a natural resource that allows them to do explore space they need to develop it. Once again time and money are the problems.

The Gen1 Enterprise is slated to cost $706 billion USD. This doesn't include costs to launch the needed parts into space, however. The total cost for the project is estimated at $983 billion USD.[11] It is proposed that NASA will create a program to build the spacecraft. The ship will take about 20 years to build, and Congress will allocate 0.27% of the United States' Gross Domestic Product each year to the program.[12]

And a lot of the technology required isn't invented yet. Imagine what else $1 trillion could do on Earth. Save the money and solve some of the problems we have now, wasting money on looking for E.T. is stupidity.
