Dude.
The god of the gaps fallacy is basically this: science doesn't know everything, therefore god must exist. If anything, Alarti's error is exactly the opposite: we've never found a higher intelligence, therefore we probably won't find a higher intelligence. The most applicable fallacy is probably hasty generalization. A much stronger argument is to say that we don't have any evidence of any higher intelligence and that belief in a higher intelligence is wishful thinking.
You used a mangled phrase for something that doesn't apply. That doesn't make me an asshole; It makes you an ignorant blowhard, but we already knew that.
Btw, nice ad hominems and cursing. You mad bro?

Eh you are incorrect, If i was generalizing i would say we haven't found higher intelligence therefore we won't. I said we haven't found higher intelligence, and they haven't found us and according to the accelerating returns the chance that we will find them is low.
I never said there wasn't a higher intelligence out there, I said it wasnt very likely.
