I am in 1975 born Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) from Finland. I'm heavily interested in computers and related.
In my opinion the allmighty God is equal to aliens. Check out the Holy Bible and read it as it was a good sci-fi novel. That's all you need to start believing in aliens.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that extraterrestial life exists. We will finally find the fact out, sooner or later. As benefits I count unity of the mankind and as dangers the alien technology and its warfare usage on earth.
It has already been done. Star Trek will tell you rest... =)
For testing purposes and for fun. Of course it would be nice to find out somethinhg, but I believe the thing we are looking for already exists on the earth surface.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
