Well, that's true, but I was only responding to this:
Quote - .. if the Universe was all created at the same time, there's no reason to believe that Aliens have conquered space travel any better than we have.
As I said, yes there is reason to believe that. The simultaneous creation of the universe in no way leads to the conclusion that mulitple races are in synchronized states of development. While it is conjecture, I still say the likelihood of universal synchronized evolution is so unlikely that any presumption that other races are at the same stage as us is preposterous.
Nowhere in that statement is a belief that intelligent aliens exist. I'm just pointing out that if they do exist, they are not at the same stage as us.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
