What is so fundamentally flawed with that arguement will? In the context of this discussion it is seemingly the most viable. Have you heard of the Drake equation? X amount of planets in our solar system. X amount has stars similar to our own. X amount are in similar proximity as earth is to her sun. X amount has/had the basic starting conditions. X amount of planets fostered tie foundation of life. X amount of life took. X amount grew. X amount grew intelligent. I am forgetful of the exact equation, but the point remains. IN our galaxy of some 200 billion stars, it is seemingly mathimatically improbable (impossible being to strong a word) for there to no intelligent life else where.
That being said, the issue is of space travel is where you would get no argument from me. That whole light barrier space travel thing is pretty overwhelming. Then again, we haven't even been a techincal civilization for a century (radio and such), so we are wholly ignorant on the issue.
