| Personal background |
Currently I am an environmental consultant working in Cincinnati, OH. I am a graduate of Cumberland College (class of 2000). I had majors in Chemistry and Computer Systems, but I participated in other things like Jazz Band and Marching Band as well (my skill is questionable at best).
Since graduation I have done some very cool and some not very cool things. I participated the Washington DC anthrax cleanup (cool), sampled sludge at the bottom of oil pits (not cool), built and run mobile labs (cool), and programmed internet-based data tracking systems for some big name clients. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
Do you honestly think that God would go through all the trouble of creating this vast universe filled with countless wonders and only put us here? On this backwater planet? We can't be the only beings in the universe, God doesn't make waste or anything useless.
Don't believe in God? Then lets look at it another way. The universe in infinitely large, right? Or at least it's expanding so fast that it's size cannot be measured from it's interior. Now, given the way that math and statistics work, even if the probability of life on a planet other than our own is infinitely small the fact that our universe is infinitely large should dictate that it will be true at some point.
Will we ever find it? I don't know what kind of odds Las Vegas is putting on this but I'm going with "no." At least in my lifetime. So why look then? Well, why climb Mt. Everest? I think it's safe to say Sir Edmond Hillary knew what he'd find up there. The point is that we have to know for sure, even if the probabilitly of success is infinitely small. |
