Hi. For a better understanding of the probability, try to find a copy of "Intelligent Life in the Universe". Hard to find, my copy eventually fell apart. But a great read. The odds are not good, but they are zero if we do not try.
Did you see this today? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070424/ap_on_sc/habitable_planet

I don't think so plus if we can't really just talk to them the distances are so big that it would take light a long time to get there so the only way to find them is if they too are searching for life.

No because it's a binary thing. We either make contact or we don't. It's all or nothing and we have no previous data to base anything on.

What do we know? That's the missing part of your equation...
