since it is statistically impossible alone for that to be the case
Just because it is likely that they exist, it is not statistically impossible that there is no other technological civilization in the Galaxy (or Universe, for that matter).
It is even less not statistically impossible that another technological civilization is visiting Earth. We can't get to them, why should they be able to get to us?
I don't think I said that.
Pretty cocky to think we’re the peak of galactic intelligence.
Ok. I imagine that they don't last that long. I imagine that they destroy themselves with their own technology (we can) or that their planet gets hit by a comet (that could happen) or that their star emits a flare which wipes life from their entire star system long before their civilization lasts 50,000 years.
Now imagine our human-ish brothers live on a planet similar to earth and are 50,000 years more advanced than us
Countless?
So, 500mm planets and countless billions of years of history?

why is even the idea that there are alien civilizations in just our galaxy that are more advanced than us is so improbable?
I don't think it is improbable at all.
your statement presumes they cant.
i am saying it is more than possible they can ..
i say its a reasonable probability.

First, it's a question, not a statement.
Second, no it doesn't.

What does "more than possible" mean? It sounds like it means that it's a certainty. Doesn't it? Isn't that different from "a reasonable probability"?
The only thing that I can think of that is "more than possible" would be a certainty.
more than possible that advanced aliens exist , been here and government is hiding it
not proof, not confirmed, but the odds more favor it is than is not.

You are contradicting yourself. Again.

then why do you say that aliens havent visited us or the government doesnt have proof of aliens they wont release?
i dont know personally if they do or dont, have or have not.
but i say its more than possible..

Labtech do you honestly think there is such a thing as “whisper mode” on helicopters? Hate to break it to you...ahh...Bwhahahaha!!!! I worked on helicopters for years while in the service, whisper mode=tooth fairy!
Maybe. But there is not enough information to produce an accurate estimate of the probabilities. All we can do is guess.
the odds are greater than 50 percent that its true vs not.
Ever consider the possibility that there is nothing to disclose, regarding aliens?
