You have to wonder what kind of impact will be felt (re: our many cultures), IF life is found on another planet; whether simple or complex.

Does anyone know whether the SETI teams have pointed their radio telescopes at the discovered 'earth-like' candidates.

the claim that we were not found by this so-called aliens is not sufficient proof that they do not exist.

"The ultimate proof that exrtraterrestial life doesn't exist is, that we haven't been found. We would probably know."

This is an incredibly naive statement. Humans have only been intelligent enough to broadcast out into space for less than 100 years and civilized for 10,000 out of our planet's 4.5 billion years. The galaxy is 100,000 light years across. The galaxy! Even if there were only 10 other intelligent lifeforms in our galaxy, per conservative estimates on the Drake equation, the chances are minute that they would find us in the time that we've been intelligent enough to distinquish that it's actually another intelligent lifeform contacting us. People grossly underestimate how long humans have been on our planet versus other life. Extraterrestial life could have come and gone, but Tyrannosaurus Rex, which lived far longer than we have, certainly wouldn't have responded.

We will find an exoplanet with oxygen that could harbor life in the next 10 years from the Kepler mission or others. But the problem is that an advanced civilization could have come and gone many times over by the time we find it.
