It's not just a question of whether or not alien life exists AT ALL, but also a question of relativity... life has to not only exist, but also be at the right point along the Kardashev scale, at the same time we are, and capable of communicating in some fashion that transmits faster than light. Given that the universe is BILLIONS of years old, and is expected to carry on for BILLIONS of years more, and we as a species have only existed for what... a hundred thousand years or so, with a recorded history of less than ten thousand, lifespans of bare a hundred, and a modern age of telecommunications that even hints at the possiblity of communications with another intelligent, technologically capable life form that is even INCLINED to speak with us...
And the odds for aliens in your lifetime and mine are pretty slim, Jack.
This is why people don't like science... it's fucking cold.
