Profile: Jerry S Zelinske

Personal background
My name is Jerry and I'm in the Navy. I like frogging around on my computer. I like spelunking, and recently became interested in SCUBA. I write short fiction stories that I never get around to finnishing, and I go to shooting ranges or the desert to put holes in soda cans. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none, I enjoy everything I do so much that I can't stop one thing to focus on another. Oh, and I'm going to start GeoChaching.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Well, the bible says God made the earth and the universe, and it says God has come to help out mankind since then. Just because it doesn't say God made life on other planets doesn't say it means he didn't. Maybe the universe is just for us, which would be a wonderful gift. I believe than man was alone in the garden, and God saw that he didn't want to be alone, so He gave man woman. With so much SCI-FI out there, and that fact that multiple governments are interested in searching space, I think mankind doesn't want to be alone in the universe so there's a chance God gave us intellgent life somewhere else.
I"m not convinced we will find intellegence in our own solar system by landing rovers, and I don't think they came and stole Elvis, but if someone out there is like us, studying the radio trafic they send out is our best chance of hearing from them.
I think it's great that there is a way for people to help search. No matter how much I spent on a backyard telescope I wouldn't expect to see someone waving back at me. I can't play computer games at work, but my computer can help search while I'm away. I even let it run when I'm home because nothing I do uses 100% of my computer's resources.
