Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny—Continuing the Delusion

Well, what about the images and messages we’ve placed on our Voyager spacecrafts for aliens to find? Couldn’t they lead to contact? No, they are also useless for several reasons, among them the fact that there is no one out there to contact (which we will prove beyond reasonable doubt). Even if there were intelligent life on some other planets capable of repeated manned space probes, the impossible distances would be a barrier to them, just as they are to us. The chance that any space-faring beings, even traveling at the speed of light, would ever find our spacecrafts to decipher the gold records they carried, with the sounds and images supposedly representative of life on Earth, would be far less than finding the proverbial needle in the largest haystack here on Earth, or, indeed, more like finding a needle in a haystack larger than the sun.
