Personally, I enjoy the insights of Chandra Wickramasinghe, and find the work of Avi Loeb to be thought provoking, though I know both are dissed by “mainstream” astronomers. But damn, who’s to say they are wrong, or that those that would say they are wrong are right? I loved Clarke’s RAMA series. And OMG 3I/ATLAS sure does fill the imagination. I find Heinlein’s World as Myth proposition wholly plausible. I certainly find the notion that we are unique in having a higher consciousness to be absurd.. statistically it’s just nonsense.. and find both Chandra’s and Avi’s zeal for the quest of finding examples of others to be the real reason we’d support the sport of astronomy at all. But then after all the hours I spent as a kid on Mt Palomar as my father worked with the Hale Telescope, coupled with my love for the works of Heinlein, Bradbury and Clarke, I wthe inas raised to this point of view.. to ponder the heavens and imagine creation, imagine god. But give it all a name.. especially one that limits its possibilities.. that’d be ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as saying there's no such thing.

Avi Loeb is an extremely well-respected astrophysicist. That's why it was a shock to the astronomical community when he kept claiming that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was an alien-controlled spaceship. In the end, he "conceded" that given the evidence, it was more likely that 3I/ATLAS was an interstellar comet.

I probably won't comment on the rest of your post because it comes across as rambling, incoherent nonsense, and I don't wish to take it to the obvious conclusion.
