I'm not sure skeptics don't believe alien life in other solar systems isn't possible. Many just don't believe they can travel here or communicate over vast distances.
The testimony, witness, pilot sightings, trace elements, older photographic evidence, and clues that the universe give us - just isn't enough for them.

They are not going to believe until they see it fully and clearly with their own eyes.
I'm not a skeptic, I've my own experiences that have brought me to my own conclusions. But I can identify and understand a skeptics need to have their OWN experience, before they can believe.

I agree with most of your post until we got to this ...
These beings are in fact responsible for the "tinkering" in our DNA
In your opinion maybe but it not a fact that extra-dimensional life exists yet alone came here to play with our stringy bits.
And then this ...
and the "tinkering" with our knowledge bases that happen long ago after the stone age when we saw an absolutely unexplained leap in all sorts of technologies including metal works and many beginnings of sciences.
I'm into prehistory and I don't know of any unexplained leap , we have evolved technology in stages that flow into one and other....then as now , The great leap in technology happened last century .
You then go off into sci fi which is fine but unnecessary , the first part was interesting .
S+F for effort

Life does not begin in these extreme places it slowly adapts to more and more extreme surroundings over time as it moves into them. All life we have ever observed on this planet can be traced back to a common ancestor. All the extreme-ophiles are just branches of the well known family tree. The only thing that has changed is our understanding of how adaptable the original dna strand that started off all life on this planet really is.
Once certain chemicals come together to create life the universe obeys certain laws and sure enough life arises. This process will do this with anything it can get it's hands on.
This is not a fact. We only have 1 single example of life spontaneously happening and all life on this planet we have ever discovered came from that single time. Until we find example of it happening spontaneously again we can not say how easy it is to happen in the first place.

Yes obviously many species have evolved from the one instance of abiogenesis that has ever been observed , so what your point?

Science has told us that there is a process that starts life from just about nothing and builds it into intelligent life.
