but the fact that there is no evidence of any such ET life argues the contrary- that there is no life out there.
There is intelligent life out there. They are to smart to stop off at this rock - galactic slum full of crazies armed with nukes.
Sparklite2- that’s what the Fermi Paradox begs- why if so much scale, no evidence? So, if it is foolish, then some really smart folks like Fermi Hart et al wondered the same thing....
Personally I think it as all built on a false premise- that everything is bazaillion of eons old....
Genesis states that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth....and gave it to man to manage.
Darwin, Hawking, Dawkins et al say “over the passage of untold eons, all of this popped up on its own accord for no known reason and then random chance accidents brought forth life and humans are the culmination on this small rock, o obviously there must be more like ( sic) us, yay...”
We have to choose, wisely...
