I am not looking for a date, but I think they will visit when we truly start exploring space (i.e. spaceships) or at less become a level 1 society (were the people of earth are united and everything is universal).

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

They'll probably come after mankind is extinct as a bunch of space traveling archeologists.

Perhaps when we've grown up. That could take a few million years! We're still in our infancy, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet, let alone keep our planet clean and tidy. We still have imaginary friends and have a terrible fear of the big wide world.
Simply put - We're far too fucking primitive to interact with a far more advanced race. We're still dumb dumb. We still think we're the purpose of the universe.
I would of been dead for a few thousands years before mankind grows up. If we don't kill ourselves before then that is.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

1. If they had the technology for interstellar travel, how the hell would aliens even know we exist? Our planet is an insignificant pale blue infinitesimal spot in the vast cosmos.
2. Why the hell would they even care about coming here? If they're all that advanced then I'm fairly confident they'd be smart enough to know this trip isn't exactly what you'd call "necessary" and horribly uneconomical at best. If they're violent, then what's stopping them from invading?

Never. There is more of a chance that all the religions are true than we will be visited by little gray men.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
