There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life. ~ Private Leonard Church
You simply cannot make that assertion. The Milky Way is way too large to know that.
There could be literally hundreds of thousands of technologically advanced civilizations within a few thousand light year radius, that are simply too far or too young for us to have even gotten any radio signals from. It's been less than 70 years since we really started paying any attention and being capable of maybe picking up an extraterrestrial radio signal strong enough to stand out from the background noise.
Space is that fucking big.

Yeah, I'm not sure if he thinks we're referring to grey aliens or just life in general. Either way, assuming life does exist in other parts of the galaxy, they would be fundamentally different from Terran life.
They may take similar forms due to convergent evolution like aliens with fish-like, aquatic forms similar to how sharks, plesiosaurs and cetaceans all developed similar morphologies completely independent from one another, but even then that's arguable.

You realize i can easily rebuke you right now using science. The absence of visual proof does not outright beat probability. If this is how scientist thought (as you seems to claim and think). Atoms where theorized and found, yet at the time and even now cannot be "seen", you could never have visual proof they existed. Even now we cannot see atoms physically. So the only visual proof of atoms we have now are devices that interact with them and computer reconstruction of it. But you will never see the picture of an atom. If we though as you did, nobody would have researched it even when we had no way to interact with them.
Because we want it to be aliens. This kind of mental behavior is nothing new, and it doesn't take any one "side" to show it.
(the irony is that if it were aliens, we'd more than likely be fucked - they'd either want our planet to colonize for themselves or at least our resources)
That would be only true for world which are at least somewhat like Earth. If life develops in something like ammonia-based environment, it might have extremely different ways to moves/perceive its environment and the like.
Also, the "general blueprint" for body arrangement was kinda extremely filtered around the first recorded major extinction (Cambrian one IIRC ?). There was very diverse disposition of main organs before, but somehow the "head + torso + limbs" was the main (if not only) one which emerged after that. So even on a very similar planet as Earth, there might be life that has a completely different basic form.
Are you this dumb, or are you just playing stupid? He's using the same "evidence" as you are, and you, just as him, can't back up your claims.
Saying that there is no life in the whole galaxy is just crazy talk, even with a 0.00001% chance of life, it would mean there would be thousands if not millions of actual planets with a chance of life.
I pity you for beeing this small minded.
It was obvious from the start but

C'mon folks be better
