Where the hell are all the aliens?
We live in a universe with 100's of billions of galaxies each full of 100's of billions of stars. Yet somehow we are the only planet with necessary conditions for life and the emerging of a technological species. What are the chances of this?

They're here, my friend.

And they've been here, for a very long time.

The sooner you realize God is real and that mankind was created to have dominion over all other creatures, the more things will start to make sense. It's amazing how many people still tout the muh primordial soup and lightning scenario to explain abiogenesis.

We live on an Earth with 8 billion people. So why are you single!?

They are already watching, and waiting to see what we will do.

We are extremely early in the lifespan of the universe. We might be the first.

We barely started looking, don't know what to look for and can't see shit with our baby's first telescopes. It's extremely asinine to even begin to think we should have seen aliens by now.

There's lots of star systems but we've only been around for ~250,000 years and using radio for ~100, so it's quite likely there's lots of life across even this galaxy; only it's separated by hundreds of millions of years.

We are the first technological civilization.
We can see stars.
No technological civilization would waste all that free energy.

The good news is there are around 200 billion alien civilizations in the universe. The bad news is that there is usually only one civilization per galaxy so we will never meet them.

They're out in space, duh. What are you, stupid?

They don't need the stars for energy.

They're all located just outside of the observable universe. Billions of societies, all partying it up, in a place we will never be able to see. Meanwhile, we're stuck here with no hope of ever finding a friend. Also, humanity is destined to be alone forever.

They are physically unable to interact with this planet until after I die. I'm not going to explain how this works here, but at the moment of my death, you'll see this whole Universe light up with communication.

Bro just because stars still exist isn't proof of us being the only ones. You expect some alien civilization to be able to just go around different galaxies sucking up every star they find? And how do you expect them to store all that energy?
I haven't looked into it, but how confident are we with our calculations of a star's lifespan and the date of the big bang?

These billions of galaxies are too far apart and even if there are other habitable planets out there (which is most likely true because of the sheer size of the universe) our planet would be to far apart to detect them with our current baby technology. Hell, in terms of exploration, we haven't explored more than a tiny fraction of our own ocean, it is asinine to even expect knowing more than 0.0000000001 ultra-percent(Here I'm making up a unit to indicate that 1 decimal place in ultra-percent is equivalent to a billion decimal zeroes in normal percentage) of the vast expanse of the universe.
