  2. Granted. What I'm saying is that it's jut another nail in the coffin of the theory. And now I'm thinking about it, it's also a nail in the coffin of any advanced ancient extraterrestrial race. Life needs a second generation start in order to have the right elements. Our universe is only 13.7 billion years old, that means that our sun is one of the very first second generation stars in the universe which suggests that we're one of the earliest forms of intelligent life in the universe.

  3. I'll go with proto-life, self replicating cultures, that may have been possible. But for fully fledged intelligent life there simply isn't enough time. Our solar system is too young for that.

  4. An intelligent being 3 billion years ago, IE when Mars was still 1,5 billion years old? That's THREE billion years before the Cabrian explosion (IE when life started) on Earth happened.
