Statistically speaking, there is intelligent life out there in the Universe. The question is “how intelligent”? If they are as advanced as many hope, they have probably taken one look in on us and said “no thanks”.
A friend of mine told me he watched/read a story about how aliens monitoring or TV/radio traffic ‘realized’ from our transmissions that God had sent his only Son to visit us here on Earth.
The aliens were thrilled and in awe of us Earthlings, ‘just think, He sent his Son to them, the Earthlings must be awesome.’ So they got all worked up and sent a team to investigate this great news only to be disappointed, ha ha ha.
I wonder if that means “present” intelligent life and by intelligent do they mean just focusing on the conscious manipulation of the environment and electromagnetic spectrum?
These creatures could have a whole different social structure. Just look at the WIDE range of our own. They could be anything.
