I am absolutely sure there is life out there! Only fools would say
"Humans are the crown of evolution and so there cant be intelligent
life forms beside of us". I hope we will discover (or will be discovered by)
this extraterrestrial life in a few hundred years when we will hopefully
have managed to live together peacefully on our planet. I assume E.T.
will discover us but im not sure if we meet each other in a friendly or
an hostile way. Im against sending messages in space because this unknown
altitude towards us. But even if E.T. will be friendly - wouldnt he be
annoyed of all those problems here on earth (wars, human rights, pollution...)?
But if we receive a sign of intelligent life this would encourage or maybe
even force us to solve these problems step after step.
This is why i run SETI@home!
