Fermi’s Paradox can be resolved in many ways. My preference is the following:
Natural evolution of advanced species is much rarer than most Darwinists would have you believe. It is in fact so rare that the probability of at least one species evolving in any given galaxy is below 1 (perhaps well below 1). Many galaxies never host intelligent life. The number of galaxies which evolve 2 or more is a very small number.
No aliens have contacted us yet because there are no others. We are the first (in the Milky Way). This is not anthropomorphic, rather it is an honest assessement of the probability that random chance will produce intelligence.

Agreed. I always cringe somewhat when the question is asked, ” Is there other live in the universe. ” Well duh yaaa BUT … Considering light takes 8 minutes to travel from OUR sun to here few people understand the question they are asking. If there is life outside our galaxy what does it matter? We will never know it (except for the odd Dyson sphere in Andromeda), much less communicate with them. The better question should be is there other life in OUR Galaxy. Even better question is, is there spacefaring civilizations out in our galaxy. Not that we are exactly but … someday soon … maybe …
Oh your Time Travel Jesus story was great. It may be a comment on our times that it’s refreshing when Jesus is portrayed as Jesus instead of Jesus the nutcase.
Thanks, good stuff. Bosco

Thanks for the comments. I agree that lightspeed is a major limitation on contacting aliens.
Thanks for the good words on the Galilee stories. I hope to write about one installment per week. Tell your friends !
