I would have to say look at the advances in circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, night-vision equipment, super-tenacity fibers (such as Kevlar plastic armor), stealth aircraft technology, in a relatively short period of time......
Answer being - Absolutely 100% convinced

If we are able to advance technologically as humans and explore space, it would be arrogant to think that we are alone in this endeavor.

if you said those things to anyone in history past 100 years ago they would all have no idea what your talking about.

yes and proudly, because you seem to think that it is wrong for others to have an opinion you don't agree with.
if you think we can do it and they can't or that we are the only thing in this universe i respect your opinion, i am not going to try and imply your silly with my comments.

I frankly don't care about other people's beliefs and religions. People can say and think whatever they want. It does not change logic or reality.

Kind of strange that we have went from horse and buggy to wandering who created microchip technology in such a short period of time. What kept us from being this advanced 1000 years ago? something had to set it off.

here is a scenario for you that occurs all the time on our own planet. America has some great tech which they use in surveillance of other countries and war, i am pretty certain i read not long ago that they were trying to create a self destruct on the tech if it went down in enemy Territory.
Maybe i misread the article but nether the less, technology falling into other peoples hands can be replicated, copied, or even if you are unable to do those things you can still gain a greater understanding and knowledge from it. secrets get revealed.
so doing this with alien tech shouldn't be hard to believe.
we have advanced a lot more than any other time in history in a very short space of time, in fact if i just think back to when i was a kid compared to now the advancement is great. this is evidence of a explosion in knowledge and understanding.
so the only question is, where did this sudden explosion in knowledge and understanding come from. this is where people are going to differ. and a part of that is affected by whether you believe we are alone in the universe and that this planet has never been visited in its entire history, even before man was around.
if it were visited before man was around how would we know unless we stumbled across something.
