Could we actually fight a war against an alien race?

Your statements are so full of crap and easily contradicted by studying the vast differences of life on our own planet.

1) 99.9% of life found on this planet is carbon based. However, we have found life we thought couldn't exist in deep sea sulfur vents that are sulfur based.

sure but that is still an element we understand.its evolution atleast has happened according to earth.

i am not saying it cannot exist.just saying our consciousness won't conceive it

the same way we cannot see x-rays's,gamma rays

2) Big Bang started at a single point and spread out over an endless vacuum of space. This means that solar systems/planets closest to the point of origin would be vastly older than systems further out. I would put a very large wager that we are not near the center meaning that there are countless societies that exist that are far older and more advanced that us.

thats where oyu are wrong.

newton's physics suggest's absolute space and time which is correct

but einstein's physics also suggest's that we can measure the changes in time like going from one point to another.

so it just cannot be that two earth-like planets were born on the same time.

we can't pin point where big bang happned,it isn't like the center from where the universe is around it.it was just an invent which our current conciousness perceives

 

BIG BANG won't even matter 200 years as human understanding and vision  of the world would have toally changes.evolution must have happened which we just cannot comprehend today and conciousness will be different.

kinda like super powers.for exmaple if wer can comprehend electricity today and think what it can do and how cool it would be to have infamous like powers.

but when electricity wasn't invented,a person couldn't even comprehend.100's of years from now a person would think of it as a toy,by then they would have new science-fiction powers that we cannot comprehend today.

3) Additionally, looking at the history of our own planet... humans from the America's were vastly behind in regards to technology and weapons as compared to humans in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East when they came into contact. Why would you think life forms on different planets would be similar?

for that you have to look at the human migrations and human evolution throughout ages

if you know what old world and new world means

it was that africa,asia,europe were the first world which were kinda linked and near so migrations happened.

AMERICA,AUSTRALIA were new world lands as less people had migrated to them as they were dicovered later with new way's of transport.

here you also get the explanation why europe trounced everyone as they had horizontal lands which facilitated agriculture,china has the same.

african lands are vertical so different variations of sunlight which left them behind.

 

4) There is WAY too much out there for it to be remotely conceivable that Earth is the only planet with not only life, but intelligent life. If I was given trillions of trillions of dollars, I could guarantee a winning ticket in every lottery game in this world.

no it wouldn't.i used to think like this way back when i had a science fiction imagination and money can make anything happen mindset.

5) Even from a religious perspective it seems illogical that a omnipresent God would create such a large canvas to only put life on one part of one pixel.

there you are wrong again

read on consciousness and quantum mechanics,also on super string theory aka m theory.you will understand everything.

either

The only real argument anyone can make is whether or not anyone can develop a capability to travel across the great distances between star systems and galaxies in the first place.

it will in time,will be like star wars,trek

but we will get our own people there not find anyone.
