    Maybe they only make contact with intelligent beings.

    Maybe they are limited by the laws of physics.

    It seems reasonable that there must be other intelligent life forms somewhere in the vastness of space. But because it seems reasonable doesn’t mean it’s actually true.

    It would be cool, though if some friendly ETs dropped by Earth for a visit. I just hope they wouldn’t want “to serve man” in the Twilight Zone sense.

    I never did buy that “The universe is too big for us to be the only life” argument — when we’ve actually demonstrated what it takes for life to form apart from biological reproduction, THEN we’ll be able to understand.

    Avoidance is a sign of great intelligence in life out there. It’s also a sign of vast distance.

    Grandpa nailed it. We’re just not considered sufficiently educated to be able to handle extraterrestrial life. They are waiting until we reach a level of intelligence that will accept new life forms without prejudice and fear. Not happening any time soon.

    If they are looking for intelligence, they should have kept going. No intelligence on this planet. Just look how humans are destroying it.

    I like to do a thought experiment. I pretend that I am a boy/girl/whatever scout from the planet Zarg and I want to get my merit badge in primitive cultures. So the scoutmaster arranges for the troop to visit Earth.

    When you look at our society from the outside, it looks a lot different. Some of the things we do are tragic, some a comic and many are just plain arbitrary.

    Having spent little time on Zarg itself, I am not sure that I can see ourselves as well as others see us.

    We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.

    Maybe they have and their scouting report has made it clear that this is not a friendly place.

    We hope they would be like ET and not like some vandalistic vicious biker type hoard of orcs.
