"use of giant radiotelescope dishes to listen for radio messages from alien beings in space. So far, the search has been a complete bust."
Instead of listening for messages, why not send messages?

Visionless idiot.
We have only been searching a *tiny* portion of time.
The search has only just begun. But I guess that just not fast enough for fools. Somethings take a great deal of time from a human perspective.
And who is to say that alien signals havent been streaming through our very bodies all along as thousands of radio signals do every second?
All the time as we searched for "smoke signals" while they were using "radio".
And if we are truly alone. then THAT is a valid answer to this quest too. Either way it is our nature to find out.

What proof do you have there isn't??? That's a cop out. No one can prove the negative, however the positive is not proven then it is not proven. As far as I know we're it, and you need to face that fact.

Instead of listening for messages, why not send messages? We do. It is called television.

I'm still hoping they look like "six".

How long did it take to prove the Earth was not flat and this planet was not the center of the universe...

I gotta disagree. Back when I was married I used to see flying saucers all the time.

Only people who believe that we are alone are ignorant.. My gut instinct is that we are not alone.

Have you been receiving signals again?
What's the frequency, Kevin?

1) We are not interested, I think, in extinct forms of life. But life that is around right now.
2) It is most likely that any intelligent life form that is superior to us would recognize organized radio waves.
3) People need to get use to the fact that we may very well be alone.
