OT-Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligent Life fruitless ... WHY?

Since Marconi invented radio in 1895 our bubble of electromagnetic signals has spread into the galaxy. It's now a little more than 30 parsecs, 100 light years, in diameter. Our Radio, TV, broadcasts are an overwhelming BLAST, notifying any IET race of our presence.

There's no doubt that the universe is filled with IET races, right? Watch Star Trek or read Sagan! If each star in our galaxy were described on a single page, the shelves of the NYC library couldn't hold the books!!! So, with faith in Darwin the conclusion is fixed: intelligent life abounds "out there."

Doubtless many IET races are older than we, far advanced, with technologies vastly superior to ours; and they've been blasting signals into the void for thousands, millions, of years ...right? We've been listening, 50 years night and day, searching the sky for some faint signal, some transmission, some revelation of ETI. Our instruments monitor 1,000,000 RF channels simultaneously. What have we heard? ? ? Nothing, not a peep, nada, zilch, zero! WHY NOT?

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! I forgot the single exception, an ETI that has communicated with humans ever since He made us:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the Earth hath he given to the children of men
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever!
He stretcheth out the North over empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.


Could it be we're the first of our type? That when Eden is restored the galaxies will come to sing with IET signals? Some believe in signals we don't get, I in a Paradise that isn't yet! Both require religious faith! And I have enough evidence to convince any open minded skeptic, the finer a scientist he is the better. And if I win, you get to live forever!
