| Personal background |
|---|
Engineer, painter, artist, writer, theologian, long interested in the
space program, science fiction, science fact, and the possibilities of
the universe, and sure wish we could spend more money on discovering
new life and new peoples and expanding our minds, than killing each
other over imaginary lines drawn on paper maps. Please, humanity, this
infighting must stop - so much universe to explore, so much of our
minds to explore, and we spend most of our energy protecting
irrelevant borders that serve only to keep humanity from progressing
to the next stage (or possibly preparing to defend ourselves against
an intergalactic Borg-like race/species that can't be reasoned with
and truly does want to destroy us!). |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Considering the size of the universe, I think we'd be daft to assume
that there is no life elsewhere. Let the search continue! Especially
interesting to discover, for me, will be those extra-terrestrials who
started in their cultures with a "home-planet-centric" theology, which
needed to be modified after they discovered other life, and how they
dealt with that issue, theologically.
A lot of Christianity (and other religions, too) might need to change
if we discover intelligent life elsewhere. I look forward to a
potentially more inclusive, life-based religion. Unless, of course,
the Christian right-wingers of this country (or a fundamentalist
whatever from any other country) decide that all extra-terrestrial
life must be feared, is unsaved, or otherwise not worthy of
life/recognition.
Yes, finding ET will be a majestic test of our humanity, for good or for evil.
Let us hope we err on the side of good. |
