Illegals don’t count. ;-) This is exactly what the Fermi Paradox is about. If there are sapient aliens, where in the heck are they? Go read about it a bit. It more or less supports your contentions.
Oh, and the other thing: In about 50 million years, the sun gets very inhospitable to life as we know it on earth. Given the insane scale of what we would need to do to travel interstellarly, we’d better get on with it.

I know. I knew Fermi. Fermi was a friend of mine. He wasn’t outrageous like Feinmann. I have no contentions and this is all very old stuff.
Yep very old. 60’s and 70’s, right?
That’s sort of in the ballpark of true, but not for what you may be thinking.
We’re going nowhere. Forget it. We had a shot at it 30 years ago and blew it. No second chance.
Genesis 2:7
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Genesis 3:19
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
Who says the dust from the ground didn't come from space?
Yup, look in any of the Southern Tier of Sates next to the Mexican Border. You will see plenty of 'em.
Where are the Men in Black?
