Assuming all forms of life are capable of transmitting radio and laser communications.
edit: Which, of course, not all life forms are capable of doing. Obvious, yes, but I had to say it.

Are you suggesting that all life should be capable of generating radio waves? Considering that evidence of life on this planet would have only reached about 500 of the billions of other solar systems in this galaxy, that's not saying much.

Do you think about what you post or research at all?
our radio waves are only 70 light years away from the planet at this point. this is very very close and no where near, NO WHERE NEAR THE CLOSEST STAR to our sun.
you assume alien life is stupid enough to use and understand primitive radio signals.
chimps and are DNA are very close, we are more intellegent then a chimp but we cannot communicate with them in general. If aliens DNA was dramatically higher then ours [if they have DNA] and there intellegence is so much higher then ours what makes you think they could or would even want to communicate with us.
your statement is about as intellegent as going to the ocean and taking a glass and filling it up to the top of the glass with sea water and then saying "see there are no whales in the glass so there must not be any in the ocean at all"

1. Wow, can you really be this...uh, trying to find a tactful way to put this...unimaginative? Do you know anything about the universe? Anything at all? Do you know how many stars it has, even a low estimate? Do you know how far away the closest one is?
2. So if we find life on another planet, what would that do to your beliefs, if anything?
So if the only place your God put life is on the skin of an atom of a speck, that for some reason confirms your belief that He chose to have some organisms kill another organism on the skin of that speck?

Actually, there are over 171 stars within 70 light years of Earth, the closest being only 4.3 light years away. Still, you would have to make a lot of assumptions before you jump to the conclusion that there is no life there just because we haven't heard from them.
That's a fairly accurate analogy.

Thank You, i stand corrected.
I was watching neils and dawkins vid and I remember them saying the radio waves are 70 light years out , i thought they said they have a long way to go to get to a star. I misunderstood.
with there being more stars then grains of sand on all the beaches and we have only covered a few. The facts all still stand.

You are misrepresenting the facts again, people have been listening for intelligent life.
And we've been listening for such signals for what, 50 years? Thats a minute sample of the possible signals that could be out there.

Not to mention the sheer stupidity of listening only for radio frequency signals instead of checking ALL possible forms of signals!
