Maybe they tried and failed? Maybe they arrived on a sterile Earth 3.6 billion years ago with supplies and huge tomes of knowledge, promptly died off within a couple hundred years of arrival, tectonic movement subsumed their landing ship and all other physical records of their existence here and we're all just descendants of their gut flora?

All of this has happened before, and will happen again.

Can you explain that?

I wouldn't have expected every possible situation to have occurred given the finite history of the universe.

But I really have no idea what I'm talking about, so my request is serious.

It's a reference to the plot of the recent Battlestar Galactica remake.
