You're missing the part where we're speculating about an alien race with an unknown lifespan, and a culture we can't even begin to guess at.
There's no way you can claim a wholly unknown alien race would or wouldn't terraform or colonize an existing world.
You're just pulling shit out your ass.

>Space is very empty, you know....
He's comparing the risk of collision to the likelyhood of being found by ETs.
Unless he has some secret knowledge of ETs, he's pulling numbers out of his ass.

>Every single species biologically wants to reproduce.
...and yet most species don't invade non-native habitats.
Different places have different species.


>it's far easier to create your own habitat than find planets.

It sounds like you speak from experience, but in reality, you're just pulling shit out of your ass.
Write back when anybody lives in an artificial biosphere.
But if you're right, why would the aliens ever travel to another star?

>That's a pretty convoluted way to say "zero"
Let's not pull numbers out of our ass on the "science and math" board.

And oh yeah...

???

>1 single game can sell millions of copies world wide in one single day. And that is 1 game on 1 planet in 1 solar system.
Yeah, but an XBox can't simulate a very large universe.
To simulate a universe like ours would take a universe more complex than our own.
Your analogy would require millions of devices each more complex than our universe.
Obviously, there's no limit to the size of a hypothetical parent universe, but still, that just makes any number you want pull out of your ass unfalsifiable, and thus meaningless.

Thanks, I like you too.
