If there is no evidence is support of something, especially after many thousands of years of human evolution in search of evidence for its existence, the odds of it being real is basically nonexistent.
There is no evidence of intelligent being other than human.
What is your view about this? Do you believe that there is non-human intelligent being?

I will say I don't know whether unicorns, leprechauns, or Santa Clause exist or not, but I don't believe that they exist.
Why I don't know? Because there are no evidence that they exist or not as far as I know.
Why I don't believe? Because believing in them does not bring an overall positive effect to me.
