We will never hear anything because we are to distant and other forms of life are too primitive!
To: BlazingArizona
The odds against us being so "special" are approximately all the stars in the sky to one. It's not about odds. What are the odds of a universe existing?

Å great waste of space then. Window dressings to an infinitely powerful God.

Mines a bit more on the adventurous side... What fun. Adventure implies not knowing an outcome.

this piece is all about discerning, that’s the point
we have not yet discerned the manner to communicate with colonial insects
discerning is the problem

And you know otherwise how?I wasn't the one who made the absurd absolute claim. You were. Answer the question, if you can.

The answer is the Bible. Where in the bible? I don't recall anything about aliens in it, but my memory could be wrong.

So you are saying God is highly inefficient then?

So you are saying God is highly inefficient then? Not at all. He very efficiently showed His glory by making such amazing window dressings.

I don't recall anything about aliens in it, ... Exactly! OK I understand now, if it isn't mentioned in the bible then it doesn't exist? I don't agree with you, but at least I understand why you said what you said.

Was going to mention that statistics is not mathematics but some oddball thing that uses entropy but isn’t science either. The Statistics Dept. is two doors down from the Math Dept. next to Computer Science.

Yeah, like Mary's immaculate conception, for example. I must say you're talking in tongues. I believe that mary's immaculate conception was stated in the bible with the business with the angel explaining things to Joseph. But whatever dude. I personally think that the odds of these guys finding anything are miniscule, because the basic SETI assumptions are trash. For example they assume that alien civilizations will be deliberately sending a very high power signal to us. Why would they? We're not sending anything to them.

Thanks for your apodictic confirmation that the SETI program is a waste of time. They don’t follow good math protocols nor good statistics protocols, basically it’s bad science.

And thus he went into writing fiction instead of studying science.
