Your opinion. It's wrong, but it's your opinion. It still doesn't change the fact that it is a valid argument and that you didn't bother to answer the question.
*EDIT*
Not saying that as a shot, just saying you didn't answer the question.
Lol, I love the edit there. Alright, the reason I considered it weak is the concept of a billion dollars is a much more tangible concept than life existing on other planets, especially when one considers how much we're exposed to the term in everyday media (ie the budget has a surplus of 20 billion dollars, billions has been wiped off the stock exchange due to the global financial crisis etc).
The idea of a billion dollars in same bill form isn't that plausible, as the amount of $100 notes (Australia's highest note value) it takes to make 1 billion means that you're very unlikely to ever see it expressed in legal tender, but the idea of say a billion dollars being present on the governments books or something like that? Yup, I don't need to see that to believe it.
They're too very seperate arguments, a billion dollars to aliens existing. A better argument on your behalf would have been something like... do you need to see a worm hole (in space) to know it exists? Because scientists aren't it agreement as to whether these are tangible concepts just yet but probability says they are, much like the brunt of the idea surrounding aliens on this thread.
