I fail to see the connection between progress and looking at the universe as a vast wasteland full of nothing but rudimentary bacteria and one planet full of "evolved" life. Add on to that the idea that we expect species from another planet to communicate with us, yet we can't even communicate with a fraction of the species on Earth? Especially when you consider that our notion of "intelligence" is extremely quaint and limited to our ability to survive on our own planet, and that the evidence for life, be it "intelligent" enough for your standards, outside of Earth overwhelms that of any "skeptic" or credible scientist.
