5. There are aliens visiting us, monitoring and studying us. They will contact us once we demonstrate that we are a mature civilization that does not pose a threat to them.
Why would any alien get in touch with us, the most dangerous form of life in the universe? Give power to the humans and they will terrorize the whole galaxy and even the universe.

If you look at the new Globalism, you can see space mechanization and impersonal systems [both effects of interstellar space travel] producing a society of humans that is more focused on "processes" than it is on "results, effects or outcomes."
In any case, they affect our lives by enriching our experience with conflicts we didn't have before. That's a dubious distinction, but there it is.
Peace will not come to Urantia until every so-called sovereign nation surrenders its power to make war into the hands of a representative government of all mankind. Political sovereignty is innate with the peoples of the world. When all the peoples of Urantia create a world government, they have the right and the power to make such a government SOVEREIGN; and when such a representative or democratic world power controls the world's land, air, and naval forces, peace on earth and good will among men can prevail--but not until then.
To use an important nineteenth- and twentieth-century illustration: The forty-eight states of the American Federal Union have long enjoyed peace. They have no more wars among themselves. They have surrendered their sovereignty to the federal government, and through the arbitrament of war, they have abandoned all claims to the delusions of self-determination. While each state regulates its internal affairs, it is not concerned with foreign relations, tariffs, immigration, military affairs, or interstate commerce. Neither do the individual states concern themselves with matters of citizenship. The forty-eight states suffer the ravages of war only when the federal government's sovereignty is in some way jeopardized.
