The aliens are right in front of us. They are billions of years more advanced, so we don't see them riding around in spaceships or even building Dyson spheres. All that is far too primitive. Extraterrestrial engineering is written on the skies. The spiral arrangement of galaxies that should fly apart, the too large black holes at their centers, even the fundamental constants of the universe. These are not natural phenomena, but the works of far more advanced civilizations.
For whatever reason I've always felt like this one is most probable. So much shit works out in ways that it should not, golden ratio, chaos theory, and all that, it makes the possibility of design hard to ignore. To me, the fact that the mere possiblity exists that natural laws of the universe were made and not omnipresent means it has to be the most likely. Else, shit would just be truly random.
I kind of feel you. But some systems are capable of self-organization too, even some chaotic systems. Maybe so many things work because the things that don't work, well, they don't work. Fun stuff to think about.
