Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Interested in Astronomy and the wonders of the Universe.

My personal belief is that we, as a species, are endangered by our own actions as well as our inaction regarding our planet; "The Pale Blue Dot." I believe in God and in "Intelligent Design." Believing this, I cannot disallow for the possibility of life elsewhere, "Somewhere Out There."

I cannot believe that we are alone. Yet, knowing that in my lifetime (as much as I would love to see it so) we may not find that life, but we are yet obliged to search it out. Life elsewhere has got to exist!
