...We are almost to the technological point where if we could go to a primitive planet, we could create a more intelligent being by mixing our DNA with the DNA of primitive humanoid on that planet as well. And when they grow up, they could also claim that since their DNA matches so closely to the primitives, that they evolved on that planet, but that wouldn't be the case....

Until then, the bible is the proof.
Because it says so, right there in it.
Now that's logical.
What does the bible have to say about those civilizations that came before us? The ones in your OP?
Most of what is told about Terah is recorded in Genesis 11:26-28. Terah's father was Nahor, son of Serug, descendants of Shem.[v.10] They and many of their ancestors were polytheistic.[3] Regarding his children, Terah had three sons: Abram (better known by his later name Abraham), Haran, and Nahor II.[v.26] His daughter Sarai, by a second wife, was also his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram.[4] The entire family, including grandchildren, lived in Ur of the Chaldees.[v.31] One of his grandchildren was Lot whose father Haran died before the family left Ur.[v.28] Terah's son Abram had an encounter with God, who directed him to take the entire family, leave Haran and move to the land of Canaan.[5] Terah coordinated the journey, intending to go to this new land, but stopped in the city of Haran,[v.31] along the way, where he died at the age of 205

Yeah. Well, there's a problem right there.
edit on 2/2/2014 by Phage because: (no reason given)
The royal library consists of approximately 30,000 tablets and writing boards with the majority of them being severely fragmented. [8] It can be gleaned from the conservation of the fragments that the number of tablets that existed in the library at the time of destruction was close to two thousand and the number of writing boards within the library can be placed at a total of three hundred.[9] The majority of the tablet corpus (about 6,000) included colloquial compositions in the form of legislation, foreign correspondences and engagements, aristocratic declarations, and financial matters. [10] The remaining texts contained divinations, omens, incantations and hymns to various gods, while others were concerned with medicine, astronomy, and literature. For all these texts in the library only ten contain expressive rhythmic literary works such as epics and myths.[11] The Epic of Gilgamesh, a masterpiece of ancient Babylonian poetry, was found in the library as was the Enûma Eliš creation story, and myth of Adapa the first man, and stories such as the Poor Man of Nippu
The predecessors of the flying vimanas of the Sanskrit epics are the flying chariots employed by various gods in the Vedas: the Sun (see Sun chariot) and Indra and several other Vedic deities are transported by flying wheeled chariots depicted to be pulled by animals, usually horses. The existing Rigveda versions do not mention Vimanas, but verses RV 1.164.47-48 have been taken as evidence for the idea of "mechanical birds": 47. kṛṣṇáṃ niyânaṃ hárayaḥ suparṇâ / apó vásānā dívam út patanti tá âvavṛtran sádanād ṛtásyâd / íd ghṛténa pṛthivî vy ùdyate 48. dvâdaśa pradháyaś cakrám ékaṃ / trîṇi nábhyāni ká u tác ciketa tásmin sākáṃ triśatâ ná śaṅkávo / 'rpitâḥ ṣaṣṭír ná calācalâsaḥ "Dark the descent: the birds are golden-coloured; up to the heaven they fly robed in the waters. Again descend they from the seat of Order, and all the earth is moistened with their fatness." "Twelve are the fellies, and the wheel is single; three are the naves. What man hath understood it? Therein are set together spokes three hundred and sixty, which in nowise can be loosened." ("trans." Griffith)
In Swami Dayananda Saraswati's "translation", these verses mean: "jumping into space speedily with a craft using fire and water ... containing twelve stamghas (pillars), one wheel, three machines, 300 pivots, and 60 instruments."[2] although the 'wheel' is likeliest a metaphorical description of the yearly cycle[original research?] , and '12' and the '360' are likeliest its months and days.[dubious – discuss]
The tablets concerning Sumerian creation mythology have been translated. They are in the link I provided.
have said upon thousands of tablets.. yet to be deciphered
There are no such writings.
The Indian ( India ) Sanskrit Tablets and other Writings..
That does Claim... about Space wars.. with the gods Nuclear Like explosions
ancientaliensdebunked.com...
The Mahabharata actually doesn’t say any of that. These exact claims about the hair and nails falling off and an explosion brighter than a thousand suns have been repeated by Ancient Astronaut theorists so many times that they think it’s true, but the origin of this line was from a French book called “Morning of the Magicians”

Hopefully, one day we'll get a chance to meet some of them. See how they live, what they drive, what kinds of animals evolved on their planets, what kinds of ships and planes they fly, what kinds of foods they eat.
It works both ways. If there is a way to escape our island and we find it, we may find species just emerging into intelligence.
Then what?
whoa...and bone against bone too

I believe Earth is the source of all life in the universe. If there is life somewhere else out there, it started as a result of microbes that came from here, not the other way around.

Earthlings may be extreme latecomers to a universe full of life, with alien microbes possibly teeming on exoplanets beginning
just 15 million years after the Big Bang, new research suggests.
...
But even exoplanets that orbit far beyond the habitable zone may have been able to support life in the distant past, warmed by the relic radiation left over from the Big Bang that created the universe 13.8 billion years ago, says Harvard astrophysicist Abraham Loeb.

This is a very interesting hypothesis. Who knows how many advanced civilizations have been born, evolved, and became extinct before we were even born?
Not to mention how many advanced civilizations are currently thriving amongst the cosmos. With the number of stars and galaxies in the known universe, the number of advanced, intelligent civilizations is unimaginable.
Hopefully, one day we'll get a chance to meet some of them. See how they live, what they drive, what kinds of animals evolved on their planets, what kinds of ships and planes they fly, what kinds of foods they eat.

Humanity should start thinking about how to interact with alien species long before coming into contact with extraterrestrial life, experts say.
Coming up with a strict set of guidelines that govern the way people on future interstellar space missions study and interact with aliens is imperative before anyone blasts off to a distant world, according to attendees at Starship Congress in August.
While a "prime directive" — the rule that prevented Star Fleet officers from interfering with the business of alien life-forms on TV's "Star Trek" — might be a little extreme, such a rule could help govern interactions between aliens and humans.

Isn't it likely that if we reach the point of interstellar and intergalactic travel, that humans will simply try and export 'manifest destiny' into the cosmos, just like the Europeans did to the 'New World'?

It seems that we have a winner in the stating the obvious competition.
The universe is almost 10 billion years older than the Earth itself, and is filled with billions of galaxies that are billions of years old. Thousands of civilizations could've risen and fallen in the time before man walked the earth, So obviously there would be aliens older than us.
And even if we could detect life forms in another galaxy, it would be too late because we'd be looking into the past, if we spotted a Dyson sphere in Andromeda for example, that technology would be at least two million years old at the time of the sighting. We wouldn't be seeing a bustling civilization, but it's artifacts.
We need to look at our own galaxy first, It's here that we'll have a slim chance of finding active civilizations. Anything beyond that would be pointless.
