Stephen Hawking compares intelligent aliens showing up on Earth with Columbus landing in the New World and the aliens would likely rape the Earth of all the natural resources and move on.

Do you think that this is the most likely outcome if aliens ever made here?

This is making the assumption that any intelligent life will be as greedy and evil as humans are.

.... So yeah, probably.

Taking resources is hardly greedy and evil. The basic drive to survive is justification for many things. Survival of the Fittest. We lose

Yeah. I guess it depends on the circumstance. I still had the Columbus analogy on my mind. In which case, it wasn't about survival... just gaining what the other had. They were surviving just fine with what they had before.
