>Fourth, the “timing coincidence” objection assumes civilizations emerge evenly across billions of years
No it doesn't. Your position assumes that.
>after sufficient heavy elements exist
This is indeed something that happened somewhat evenly across the universe.
>galaxies with stable environments
What does a galaxy have to do with anything? All you need is a planet, maybe a couple if you're burning through resources.
>Yet we do have credible radar-visual cases, government-confirmed footage, and sworn testimony under penalty of perjury
That is literally nothing. All of these require people, easily fooled people, and their stories. I can testify that my birthday magician pulled a quarter out of my ear. Sworn testimony has nothing to do fact-finding, only getting someone's story.
>That’s a higher evidentiary standard than most scientific hypotheses begin with
It's still squarely in the hypothesis stage.
>the “Grays” point collapses under anthropology
Because you say so? Picrel is you kobolds. Do those look anything like grays?
>the “geese/glare” explanation doesn’t fit all multi-sensor cases
It literally does. I'm sure you can imagine some operation in the Atlantic where the Russians are flying jets around at night and it's picked up both on radar and IR flare.
And the goose thing is blatantly obvious. If you're stuck at that level, I can take pics of dozens of aliens at the park right now.
>physics has historically overturned “impossible” limits
This is true, but this also isn't proof of anything. It's comic book daydreaming.
>timing is explainable through monitoring/selection effects, and evidence does exist
What now? What evidence is that? We haven't even found life - or even evidence of life - outside this planet.
>it’s just inconveniently strong enough to resist total dismissal
You have stories. That's literally all of your "evidence". Stories from humans, anon.
