Re: Positive Evidence

The first part is manifest: no other life form traveled to the moon and back.
An empty assertion since an intelligent life form in another galaxy could possibly say the same thing about the first space faring that they endeavored in attempting also.Those intelligences could also be far in advance of our own as well so supreme is hardly a fair term in such a large theatre as the universe.

Re: Positive Evidence

Then you should put your reasoning on 'HOLD' - and wait till ET knocks on your door. This has not occured for 4.5 Billion years.
The reason is less to do with the unlikelihood of an intelligence out in the depths of space somewhere and more to do with the obstacles that must be overcome to traverse any distance to another star system just on the basis of the physics. This is neglecting the resource requirements to transport life forms over those distances nor the means of marshaling those resources on a planet to basically throw it away for all practical purposes.
To travel at the speed of light would take us to the nearest star system in just over 4 years. 8 years not including time spent at destination. However at just 1/3 the speed of light free hydrogen in space becomes the equivalent of cosmic rays and somewhat detrimental to survival. delicate electronics fry life support is threatened and due to location AMA is really tough to get ahold of.

This says at least one of the billions of life forms which should be out there - will acquire the ability to send a message better than us
Signals cannot transfer through space at greater than the velocity of light. Signals may indeed be in space right now but the problem is two fold. One you have to know which frequency to monitor and 2 you must be monitoring the right patch of sky when the signal comes along.
