Radio waves are a form of light, so the "loudness" of the signal decreases in proportion to the distance. Commercial radio signals would be "inaudible" even from the nearest stars. A civilization that has advanced enough to detect habitable planets in the region, and we are now such a civilization, could initiate a program to contact its neighbors by focusing a very large radio telescope on a particular solar system and sending an extremely powerful signal in the hopes that the intended recipients are equally advanced. SETI is not, therefore, a complete waste of time, but the odds that two civilizations are at the same level of technological development within fifty light years of each other are extremely long.

How can the bible believers not believe in aliens? What was Jesus and the other deities that supposedly reside in the heavens? If they are not aliens, what are they? I respect others beliefs, but interpreting the bible to one's personal preferences is the biggest problem with organized religions in my opinion.
I believe that if governments admitted to alien visitors it would turn the world upside down. There would be a paradigm shift that would disrupt the powers that be.
Why is man so arrogant to believe that advanced civilizations would use our type of communication? Don't you think that they would have a more advanced form of communication? We have not even scratched the surface of technology. How does someone receive quantum communications that travel beyond the speed of light? We can't do that yet. SETI has only covered a small area as the one poster said. Looking for our primitive form of communication is limited to civilizations that use it.

Don't feed the troll and don't take the bait.

You resort to attacks instead of arguing the subject of SETI and aliens. I guess questioning the bible makes me an alien troll.

Yep, all odds points to yes.
I think the "signal news" has just been suppressed from the main public.
No... the odds are it will never happen. I think you underestimate the size of the universe.

I think that ET would use more advanced communication systems that we can't listen for. What's to say that they don't use pulsed lasers for communication. There are lots of possibilities and I just don't think that RF meets the grade for long range communication.
So one day we discover sub-space communication and we can't be heard over the chatter.
Perhaps they use telepathy.
