I never said that the wasn't any, just that I highly doubt there are hundreds of billions of INTELLIGENT life, in this galaxy. Which is a pretty logical statement.

I'm open to life on other planets, I'm open to intelligent life on other planets. But the fact is, if it was teeming with it, so close, we would have seen signs of it by now.
First off, whether you're open to life on other planets is a meaningless statement. Who cares.

But the fact is, if it was teeming with it, so close, we would have seen signs of it by now.

That is NOT a fact, and the fact you think its a fact makes you IGNORANT on this topic.

That is not even remotely close to what this article is saying.

I'm not attacking you, I'm just stating the facts. You speak in this thread like you are some sort of authority, or at the very least have some basis for your stated 'facts'. You are not an authority, and you obviously have no foundation of knowledge to base your 'facts' and statements on. All you are doing is spreading falsities and ignorance. And ya, that pisses me off.
