Well, I have never said that. People take my realistic view of the Universe and take it as scepticism. It is not. It is realism. We are a long way of interplanetary travel, let alone interstellar, and it would take us a lifetime just to reach the nearest star, which is "only" 4 light years away. The chances are that the nearest intelligent life is hundreds, if not thousand of light years away. Think how long it would take them to get here.
So, I have never said there is no life out there. In fact there has to be. But we know that life is one thing, intelligent life is another, and intelligent life that is in our neighbourhood is very unlikely indeed.
