Atheists and Agnostics risk infinite loss for no gain

In the vacuum of space, radio waves travel at the speed of light. In 100 years, a radio wave would only travel 100 light years, that is a ridiculously tiny distance in the universe. Right now a civilization that matches our own could be transmitting radiowaves in our direction. But what if they are 5 billion light years away, the earth will be gone by then. And thats assuming that the radiowaves are aimed at us and even if they are using radiowaves as a form of communication. Also we have picked up some weird waves from space, look up the WOW signal

But in 500 years after their last signal, their 100 years of signal are out to a sphere of 600 light years. Now a civilization could lie in any direction from Earth and each could have such a sphere. Seems like we should have had something already.

There are about 15000 stars within a hundred light years of earth. Thats about .000015% of the stars in the milky way on the low end of the total estimates. Not very many in the scheme of things.
