Been waiting a loooong time.
Why should they look like us when we are just discrete lumps of chemical scum?

Always a good point to make that the stars died for us, and not only Jesus.![]()
And don't forget the atoms in your right and left buttocks are from different stars.
However, all life on earth is just a very precise arrangement of atoms. What are the chances any other arrangement could produce intelligent life on a stable planet like the earth? And it takes a very long time by selection.
The universe is BIG, but basically all it is, is a gravitational field with very dispersed lumps. These lumps (galaxies, stars, planetary and other debris) are contractions of space-time.
There doesn't appear to be any obvious reason why life should be common throughout the universe.

They're complaining?![]()
SETI has barely been active for any time at all. The length of time it could takes for our signal to reach anywhere capable of hearing it could be hundreds of years. Which would mean hundreds of years before we get a response. Or we could catch onto a signal from somewhere else in the galaxy which, depending on its source, could've taken hundreds of years to reach us. We could beam a message back and it will reach it target in hundreds of years. By which point there may be no one left to receive it and we might be gone before we ever reach a response.
SETI are not complaining they are looking at the wrong part of the sky, because that would suggest anyone has an inkling as to which part of the sky might be more likely to receive a message than any other part.

Why do you say that? Out of the billions of species on Earth, only a few really look like us- and that's with common ancestry. Why should we expect any sort of resemblance at all given the odds we observe here and without common ancestry?
