| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

My favorite DVD series is "Cosmos". I agree with Carl Sagan in that there must be life elsewhere in the universe. I think that searching for it to make contact is a worthwhile endeavor.
Here is an experience I had: My wife asked me to get some good black dirt in her new flower pot. I went out to the garden and scooped some nice, rich earth into the pot and brought it into the garage. She handed me the flowers with bare roots and I dug a hole in the center to insert the root ball. As I was filling it back in, I turned up the dead carcass of a beetle. This suggests an interesting analogy.
The beetle never lived or walked around on the "earth" I created (actually, organized from existing material) but lived and died on the old "planet" (garden) and left its "fossil" (remains). Suppose that the dinosaurs, their footprints and other fossil remains were what's left of animals that lived on a planet or several planets eons ago that died out, and that the creator (God?) of our world simply gathered large fragments of these burned-out worlds and formed our earth, with the fossils already buried in them? Is this a plausible theory?
