| hello all 40 plus computer programmer, musician, and cabinet maker, and author. I enjoy watchin people, looking at the night sky, and creating original works of art in music and literature. If ever there was a perfect past time for a person of my mental make up the possibility of discovering the unknown is it. |

The search for the Unknown drives mankind now as it always has driven me.
The important thing to remember about SETI is that the likelyhood of getting a signal that wasnt produced long before we came down out of the trees is littel better than sprouting wings and flying away. The stars are so distant that quite honestly much of what we see has probably already died and turned to space dust eons before we were even born... even so, to find we were not alone in the Universe drives any who wishes to know the truth.
In the end one must realize it is not the knowledge of stars we are truly seeking but knowledge of ourselves. Perhaps we will attain this knowledge someday and in doing so rid the human race of the moronic tendency to believe in the absolutes of religion, written by men to control other men and passed on to the children of tommorow and spoon fed to the masses as a method of control. We waste much effort arguing over whos God is the one true GOD. The effort would be wiser spent protecting our environment on the off chance that GOd is on an extended vacation. I personally would hate to have him come back someday to find a dry ball of dust that no longer supports life. |
