why would you assume they would contact us back.. If indeed they are firther along then we are they prob wouldn't be stupid enough to simple freak us all out.
Thats hardly a good argument.. aliens cant exist because they havent called us back

cmon now , if here are aliens they are obviously more advanced than you or i. And likely have a much better grasp on space travel.

Now, multiply that for the FEW HUNDRED light years it is likely to take to get to the nearest planet supporting life. That's where I got the "a few generations" statement.

and if aliens live to be 900 , then they are only 30 in human years
