I can only assume that your education on scientific concepts has been relegated to force-fed classical textbooks only. You yourself have just made multiple errors in your refutations. Case in point:
While it is true that the speed of light cannot be exceeded via classical methods (i.e. force-generating reactions), nothing in physics denies the possibility of "shortcuts" through space via wormholes, space-time distortions, etc. In fact, several theories already exist on ways to construct such methods of travel, although they are admittedly far beyond our technological means. Enlighten yourself on the topic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light#Space-time_distortion
As for humanoid life evolving on alien planets, first consider why humans, the only intelligent species on earth, look the way they do. We stand on two legs in order to enable us to see distant objects and also to free our hands for tools. More limbs would mean more energy consumption and also more evolutionary complexity. Our sensory apparatuses are in our heads because observing objects from above is more advantageous than from below. We have two eyes in the front of our head to offer stereoscopic vision (depth perception). Jointed limbs offer a wide range of movement and the ability to climb trees and other obstacles. I could go on, but I hope you get the point - in similar environmental conditions, it is likely that evolution would produce similar solutions to the ones widely seen on earth. Humanoid life is thus merely improbable, not ludicrous as you seem to think.
Other explanations in the comments are equally plausible and demonstrable via a bit of searching and logical deduction.
Please, in the future I beseech you to at least seriously consider the possibilities of what others say before calling them "lint-for-brains".
