The thing about that statement is that it can be taken either way, in my mind.
"Consider the vastness of space."
The way I see it, is that even if there WERE aliens somewhere out there, the abject DISTANCE that separates us is a virtually infinite sea of space that no reasonable technology could cross. To me, commenting on the vastness of space is calling to mind the miniscule probability that, were they to exist, they would ever reach us or contact us. Ever.
I could see it both ways, and personally if Q said aliens were real, that would just about annihilate any trust I have in Q.
As someone with a dad who's a physicist and has talked about this topics at conventions and things, this is 100% true! Due to the vastness of space, and the fact that you'd have to be going at least the speed of light - which would be pretty pretty difficult to do in the first place - for 100s of million of years to reach another galaxy, there is NO WAY that we've been visited by aliens from another galaxy.

Glad to hear that true professionals agree. I've done a lot of learning, and it seems to me that for all intents and purposes we are alone!
