Top four reasons people suggest for why SETI hasn’t found a signal

1. "You’re counting on the aliens using communication technology (radio, light) that’s oh-so-last century. They will be far beyond this."

2. "If hi-tech societies or thinking machines were out there, they’d have colonized the Galaxy by now. Clearly, we’re alone… lone… lone."

3. "The aliens don’t want to communicate with us. Look at what we’re doing to the planet!"

4. "You SETI types are just looking in the wrong places. We know where the extraterrestrials are: on a planet in the Zeta Reticuli system."

I should clarify.

The above post is from the article.

Or, maybe they're here and we just don't realize it. Story on the net the other day concerning a bacteria that grows "wires" under certain conditions. Then there was the story yesterday announcing the formal discovery of the bacteria that ingests gold ions and spits out gold plate. That one also referred to a copper mining bacteria.

Now I can imagine some "evolutionary" tales to deal with the gold and copper mining critters, but it's the bugs that grow wires that are right off the wall.
