Are we not advanced enough to perceive alien life?

I think that far more likely, the universe is such a unbelievably HUGE place, and with viable investigation into life traces just beginning, it would be utterly astounding if we detect anything this soon. Although we have tried detecting signals for years with no luck, we are just beginning to use direct methods. (And as an aside, the statement “… primitive humans who evolved from monkey’s (sic)” is a common misunderstanding that NO evolutionist supports. Apes and humans evolved from a more ancient common ancestor. The divergence was long before either man or ape developed.)

Does your brain ever stop lol. You have the most amazing questions. Even if some are made up things lol.

There are all kinds of possibilities…

Maybe space travel is a phase that advanced civilizations outgrow, choosing instead to focus on something more important, such as teaching their children to appreciate the beauty of the world they live in.

Maybe advanced civilizations are impossible in principle, because producing enough energy for interstellar travel would irreparably damage the environment on a planetary scale.

Maybe advanced civilizations can only be built by learning (and evolving) machines floating in outer space close to a star (to draw energy from it), as living beings on planets don’t have enough lifespan to learn what needs to be learned to build an advanced civilization and don’t have enough energy to power their spacecraft.

Maybe there is a Pan-Galactic Pact Against First Contact; all intelligent races agreed to leave the emerging intelligent life alone to evolve as it would (we set up wildlife sanctuaries, why can’t we be in one as well?)

That’s why good science fiction is so much fun; it makes you wonder about these things…
