Interesting points :) but how do you know that our reasoning isn't basic compared to aliens' reasoning? (if they exist :P)

(BTW White Knight, apparently you left a comment on my profile but for some reason I can't see my own profile)

Well like I said before lol, its only speculation, we dont have any cases to prove that Aliens reasoning is higher, because we dont know any aliens to begin with lol, much less if they exist, If I met one I'd ask myself What they believe on this matter, but I'm honestly answering "the I Dont Know" standard answer, lol.

As for the cases for Human beings I believe its pretty solid, especially to say that we as a human race have always believed in something bigger than ourselves, especially when it comes to things seen or unseen.

N = R*x fp x ne x fe x fi x fc x L

N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy in which communication might be possible
R* is the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp is the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fℓ is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space

Those aliens.
