I wish I could find the people funding SETI and slap the crap out of them for wasting money on that when they can be feeding the hungry.
You want to believe that sure. I am sure you also truly believe that sure. But no sorry, it simply makes absolutely no sense to postulate such a character knowing our scientific reality.
Just on a efficiency output standpoint. If this was designed by an all powerful all loving being, why all the waste? For every 1 sperm that gets to the egg you have millions more in that emission that die and do nothing. The giraffe has a nerve that goes from one ear, all the way down the neck, then back up to the other ear. It would seem to me the quickest way would be a straight line. Humans share the same throat that we eat and breath from which leaves us with the flaw of choking to death on our food while other mammals such as whales and dolphins don't have that problem. Humans have to build shelter and make cloths to survive in the cold whereas penguins don't. Cockroaches are far more efficient at reproduction than humans and are small enough that they are more adapt to survive the radiation the mass extinction event of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs.
I think we might get to the point of verbally communicating with other life, but no, I don't believe in AREA 51 little green men conspiracy crap. But you don't need a religious belief to reject si fi garbage superstition either. The atoms that make up carbon based life, as individual atoms exist everywhere in the universe. Considering that there are 150-200 billion estimated galaxies in our observable universe, that would be trillions of trillions of planets surrounding the billions of suns in each of them. I don't think bending space and time to space travel is possible nor shrinking ourselves or copying ourselves like in Star Trek will be anything but only math on paper. But other life existing even if only proven at the microbial level is a very high likelihood. It would not surprise me in the least if within this century we prove that microbes can survive within our solar system.
Maybe you need to consider that "all this" being the universe is not caused by a "who" with super natural powers. Maybe you need to consider that all this is like a giant natural weather pattern. If you don't need Poseidon to explain hurricanes, and you don't need Thor to explain lightening, why would the universe need a god of the gaps answer of any label to explain it?
