There IS definitely intelligent life, even vastly more that us, out there, but, they are not coming here.
#1 If you could traverse the galaxy, why would you go way out to the outer arm system, find a smaller than most star ( our sun ) that has a very small planet on an inside orbit - just to SEE if something is there?
#2 You can't go speed of light. Let's say you can do 70%. You need an engine that can do that, constantly without needing to be refueled.
#3 You need a material you can build a vessel from that can handle going that speed constantly.
#4 As your hurtling around space at 70% light speed, what happens when you hit a 1cm x 1 cm space rock? Ever seen the damage a 1 cm rock does to the ISS? The ISS isn't even going 1000 mph. Imagine going 100X faster.
It's more possible OUR data is off. WE created carbon dating. What do we have, that we KNOW FOR FACT is say , 5 million years old to compare to? We don't. We need to do a test, that we created, to find that out.
What if carbon dating is wrong by 2 million years? What if the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, actually took US out and the dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years longer than we think? We don't know for sure. We're only as smart as we've made ourselves
Thousands of years ago, all the ancient structures were built without calculators, computer models, engineering tech, etc. ARE we smarter than these folks?
There's no aliens.

This ( below meme ) is actually quite possible.

The ISS is traveling faster then 1000mph. If not it would crash into earth.
Your belief is there are no aliens. The only answer is, we don't know, just like your God.
There might be a way to protect ships traveling that fast.
I agree on carbon dating.
I would say we are smarter, they also sacrificed people to make it rain...
