And what is the point that you psot it, to say that life may not be out there? Well DUH? We discovered America here? Of course, this is the other possibility, one should embrace along with the possibility of life existing..

Interesting principle.
I guess that works for God or Satan as well for that matter?

However, if the universe was teaming with life, we'd have met them by now. To borrow your colorful analogy, intelligence would be orgy of diversity, not a single species event occurring on one lonely rock in the middle of nowhere.

They should clarify their statement. They are assuming the ONLY form of life could be carbon-based life as we know it to exist on earth.
Not to mention, the entire range of space we have supposedly "searched" is equal to maybe .00000000000001% of the known universe.
Humans are so presumptuous.
