I would reply: "We're probably not, but by what right do you appoint yourselves judge, jury, and executioner?"
Alien asks you to prove humanity is worth saving

I would sit down and show them a "documentary" called Doctor Who. The wait for them to pee their pants and leave. 
OT: I would probably show them Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. Then ask them how they could kill a species so devoted to making beyond awesome entertainment and escapism.

Through I do apologize for any perceived wrongness that may or many not have existed in that statement made by me.
Well I'd say that despite the ridiculous number of setbacks/conflicts/crazy people we've had, the simple fact that we've gotten so far is credit enough to us humans. If we've have enough time, we can accomplish so much (heck we've gone through several technological tiers in only 700 years. considering that Homo sapiens has existed as a species for 200,000 years is credit enough to what humanity is capable of now)naughtynazgul said:
wouldn't it be ironic that the aliens would only like crap like Kesha and Beiber, and them getting medals and titles for saving the earth...gCrusher said:
I wouldn't attempt to convince them one way or the other with anything; my lone opinion isn't going to matter.
I would, however, remind them that after 3.8 billion years' worth of evolution, a process in which the most dangerous and capable survivalists prosper, we're the most deadly thing this planet has come up with - and we're barely even trying. Have a crack at wiping us out if you want, but when the nukes start to fly your way don't say I didn't warn you.

"are we worth destroying"
"fuck you! this is OUR planet!"
"nuclear mother fucking bombs"
"tacos"
"Pizza"

I would reverse the situation, "Do what you want to us, but when a bigger race of aliens asks you if your species is worth saving, would you be able to say yes?"
OK, mr. alien being, sir. I know we like to kill each other and shit, but we are worth keeping around if only because of our entertainment value.
We have great books (Crime and Punishment, damn near any Stephen King book etc. etc.). Sure there are some shit ones, but 90% of everything is crap.
We have great movies, video games, cartoons, paintings, comics, and especially music. Hell, from the early 20th century to the early 21st, you'll find some of the most awesome music to grace my shithole of a rock in space since the freaking stone age when we invented the stick.
But, the one thing we're worth maintaing for is: internet drama whores/lulcows. Chris-chan, Spax3, ConicteamTV, Richard Kuta, James M. Hardiman, Jay Naylor and various other that I'm not even aware of.
So please, let us live and we'll continue to entertain the universe with how paradoxically too stupid we are to handle our own high intelligence.
You'll have to admit, you don't meet creatures like us every day.
And if I must die... *takes off pants* It's go time.
