What do you think about aliens?

[CDF47]

No thanks.  It's your claim that they haven't searched far or wide.  Prove it.

Things make a lot of sense now on this forum, LOL.

With their technology to search it has been a long search for ET.  Nothing found.

Tired of your nonsense.  Here's the info from SETI itself:

So in terms of the volume of interstellar space, we've seen less than one fifteen millionth of our own Milky Way galaxy.

...if you happen to be looking on exactly the right frequency, at exactly the instant the Call comes in, there's still a 99.9999% chance you'll be pointing the wrong way.

As we said there, not only have we not yet scratched the surface, we haven't even felt the itch.

There is also this:

Now let's talk about those frequencies. ETI communication could conceivably occur anywhere on the radio dial. But our searches to date have concentrated primarily on a handful of "magic frequencies" where we hypothesize other races may be trying to communicate. If we guess wrong, then it doesn't matter how much of the sky we cover -- we'll never hear anything. So recent SETI projects have tried to increase the frequency dimension of the search. The best (so far) in this regard is The SETI Institute's Project Phoenix search, which covers all frequencies between 1.2 and 3 GHz. Still a rather small fraction of the total radio spectrum.

So SETI almost makes itself sound useless in that article.

Be honest CDFSTER, what planet are you from? Really?

Immaterial to the topic at hand.  It is your contention that SETI have searched enough of the sky to determine there are no ET civilizations.  The points I listed, as well as yours about the frequencies, show that only a tiny, tiny sliver of available space has been looked at, which pretty much demolishes your contention.

They make it sound bad to keep the funds piling in like they need to search more sky.  If it is that bad as he says, SETI is basically useless.  Just a waste of money.

More insults.  That is all most of you atheists are good at in an argument.

They serve a better service than the huge money sink known as "religion".

Thats "pot calling kettle black" How much money have you christians poured into finding your God over the past 2000 years? and the best evidence you have come up with is "look at the trees"

Great minds think alike Valkyrie    I honestly posted before reading your post

You're hardly one to determine what's a waste.

Not to mention that SETI is financed entirely by private contributions.

But now China also built their own SETI, inspired by SF novel "The Three-Body Problem".
