Sorry
Exactly. You'll just say we'll find it someday.
So, theists will have explanations if it is discovered (as previously discussed), and skeptics have an explanation for why it hasn't been discovered.
That pretty much makes it a non-issue for religion/atheism.
I was pointing up the absurdity of saying SETI's failure to find anything meant we won't find anything soon. You can't project that.
