"There are no narrow-band radio signals of ~21cm resonant
wavelength being emitted from planets orbiting nearby stars".

What is the scientific theory of intelligent design?


There are no repeating sequential digits of primes more than 500 in
digit length in DNA found in earthly species.

Did you mean Pi? Otherwise your statement doesn't make sense.

As has been pointed out previously: There are an infinite number of
possible
encoding schemes.

What does this have to do with anything? There may be an infinite
number of algorithms for determining if a SETI signal is "narrow"
enough.


It has to do with SETI providing a specific foundation for their
hypothesis, and a specific hypothesis that can be tested.



Your assertion is much too vague for testing.

Perhaps you mean a base-4 representation. Is that what you mean?

For now lets use a binary representation and map it to base 4. First
make a list of the first 500 prime numbers:

A: 1, 3, 7, 11, 13, 17, 29 .....


Um, the first prime number is 2.

Then 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29

First twenty primes in binary:

10
11
101
111
1011
1101
10001
10011
10111
11101
11111
100101
101001
101011
101111
110101
111011
111101
1000011
1000111

Note that every single binary number begins with the numeral 1 ? per your
instructions. The selection of a different numeric base still results in a
statistically non-random distribution. Let's consider just the last digit:

--
In binary, base-2
01111111111111111111...
Never a 0, after the first.

In quaternary, base-4
23133113313113313133...
Never a 0 or a 2, after the first.

In hexary, base-6
23515151551151555115...
After the first two, all 1's and 5's forever!

In decimal, base 10
23571379391713739171...
Notice the curious lack of 0's, 2's, 4's, 5's, 6's and 8's. Most digits are
excluded from the last digit position forever and ever!


In any case, there is no such list of quaternary primes in the genome
examined.
