"We know the dinosaurs had 200 million years to develope technology and they failed."
They died out, but primates evolved and did develope tools.
How old is the universe? No one can answer that. How old is our milky way? Again no one can answer that. We will probably never know in our lifetimes if there is any intelligent life out there. No one can say for certain if there is or isn't. We can believe it, or not believe it. With billions of stars and other solar systems out there, to think we are the only ones, seems narrow minded.
Why would we not think or believe that there is other intelligent life? Maybe life (civilizations?)that are a million lifetimes older than us. Are we to be the new Flat Earth Society? Every day brings us closer to the answers, did we know there was another planet beyond Pluto until recently? (Sedna). We have begun to reach out into the universe, this is only the begining, to go where no man has gone, in hopes to find other intelligent life. When (if) we make contact that will surely present additional questions to ponder and answer. Will we stop there? I doubt it, mankind's quest for knowledge is endless. Will we ever develope the technology to do all those things? I believe we will in the far future, provided of course we don't end up destroying ourselves.

Yes, we will develop all of the technology someday to travel to distant parts of our galaxy. Some laws of the universe can be bent and overcome, look at gravity for example. Planes defy the universal law of gravity. Perhaps we will be able to bend time at some point in our human existance. I think that if other alien beings could visit earth, they probably would but perhaps at the end of all the physics and laws, perhaps their is only so far our minds and technology can go. What I am saying is that it may be physically impossible to travel to one end of the universe to the other to definatively find out if other "intelligent" forms of life exist. We know we can acclerate particles faster then light, but what about a human being? If a particle can appear at two places at once when accelerated past the speed of light, what about a human? And what would both identical people be thinking about?
I believe the bible and the story of creation. In reading the entire bible cover to cover I can say that their is information that was revealed to men by God and their is some information purposely left out. Scriptures talk about scrolls being rolled up and revealed at certain times in the future. Perhaps we have intelligent human or human like cousing out there after all, but we are not to know about this until man has reached a certain stage of maturity. Revelations and other parts of the bible do talk about a "recreation". What will the new creation be like? God just says it will be new and better but says little else about the details.
