We are talking abut intelligent life here. We believe the basis for life
in the universe is water. We also believe that the ingredients for intelligent
life need to be very similar as well thus ETs looking similar. Pretty easy stuff
to understand.




To me this is ignorant human speculation. "We're water based so all life in the universe must be water based and thus must look similar to us." We really don't know shit in the grand scheme of things and I see no reason why there couldn't be some ammonia based life form with ten eyes the size of radar dishes that only see ultraviolet light. Our understanding of biology might be vary narrow in consideration of the entire universe. We only recently thought the world was flat.




Im not talking about ALL life damn it. We are talking about INTELLIGENT life.
We already know that life can occur on this planet in all types of crazy extremes
But one thing that is for sure is that water must be available for it to exist.

If you just think about it for a fucking second it should make sense. If it
does not then you cannot be helped.




Can you explain to me in biological terms what you mean?  How do you know there aren't more elements that exist out there in other worlds, ones that make different polar solvents that can provide to an alien organism in the same way that water provides for us?  I'm having a hard time understanding how you're concluding that intelligent life forms require water and unintelligent ones don't.

You're assuming that the periodic table of elements and all of its properties are universal throughout the vast and unexplored universe, and that the biology of other organisms is based solely on that.

And let me correct you on one thing, the basis for life is not water.  It's carbon, well here on earth anyway.  It could also be Silicon on another planet, assuming the PToE is universal.
