I hear what you're saying and I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. We're all just throwing around theories and opinions here, none of which are fact or right or wrong. They're just ideas. I will say this...while Einstein stated that faster than light travel is forbidden by the laws of physics, it may still be possible to manipulate those laws (like in Event Horizon...bitchin movie btw). Besides...if a civilization had been around for say...a thousand years before us, I think it's safe to assume they'd be far more advanced than we are. Hell...all of our serious technological advances have come within the last hundred years or so (give or take a century). And that's assuming said civilization uses the same brain capacity we do (which is what....like 4%?). I dunno...there's just too much weird shit out there to explain it all with science IMO.
