Such a civilization I would not even be able to describe, but it definitely wouldn't exist as they described.

I saw something on the discovery channel a while ago about aliens. The concept that they will look anything like us is ridiculous at best. All animals that have two eyes, evolved from a single unique ancestor that succeded because of it's two eyes (over say one eye or three eyes), so that got passed down to most living things, the same is for almost every trait the we share with other animals. But these ancestors were unique to earth. The probability of Aliens evolving in the same way as animals here on Earth is almost impossible, the best chance would be if their planet was just like Earth in climate, composistion and meteor history.
