| Personal background |

My name is João Brito, I'm 25 years old and I live in Lisbon, Portugal. I study Geology at Lisbon University of Science and I also work in a bank. Yes I know working in a bank as nothing to do with geology, but the money is good.
I joined the SETI program because I'd like to think I'm doing something that could be important to mankind, no matter how small. |

I'm willing to bet my own life that there is life out there in the universe. But when I say life I don't mean a green humanoid figure with big black eyes. There's as many types of possible life as there's people on Earth. There are billions of stars in the universe, and probably many more planets around them. An intelligent humanoid figure represents a series of coincidences that happen during Earth's history. Perhaps, if a meteor didn't hit Earth 65 million years ago, there would be a world filled with intelligent dyno's with human pets.
I'm sure we're not going to find any evidence of life any time soon. Perhaps it'll take many generations untill any sort os life is found, even if it's just bacteria or fungus. Even so, that's no reason for stop looking further into space. The SETI program is the perfect example of the characteristics what made the human species the dominant species on Earth.....curiosity and perseverance. This characteristics are the same that made the first primates grab a piece of wood and realise that those could be used as a weapon to scare predators.
There are many other thing that could be said, but, to avoid being boring I'll finish this opinion with a statement I heard on TV.... "The inexistence of evidence is not evidence of inexistence".
