| Personal background |
|---|
| Well, when it comes to my personal background, I really wouldn’t know where to begin. Suffice to say, I’m an engineer both by profession and in personality, if that means anything. And I tend never to take the easy way out, which leads to satisfying results sometimes and a great deal of frustration at others. But that’s me and I’m not too displeased with how things have been shaping up over the years. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I signed up with SETI@Home during the first year, I guess, and then kind of backed away since I'm of the opinion that there is not presently corporeal life anywhere else in the Universe, at least not in the sentient sense.
Were I to base my thinking on the physical realm alone, I would say that the probabilities point to the existence of other civilizations, and also that it would be a bit self-centered and arrogant to think we were the center of it all. However, my perspective is, in fact, spiritual rather than secular. My reasoning has more to do with Scripture and the explanations there for why we are here and what will one day come to be. And these don’t leave room for ‘ET,’ in my humble opinion.
Having said that, I have turned SETI ‘back on’ more for the satisfaction that comes from being involved in something larger than oneself. It will really be something when humans one day are all able to work together in this way for all things.
And, frankly, I just like the Star-Trekkie feel of the thing when it's running. Think of it...kicking around the galaxy and just checking it all out...now THAT will really be something! |
