| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| 1) Actually I don't conclusively believe there's other life out there - but I fully support any efforts to find it. I think it would be the most humbling knowledge in human history to someday confirm that we indeed are alone and we are the only ones who can appreciate what we have. We as humans tend to have a need to find something higher and better than ourselves (God) while at the same time rejecting the notion that (God) did indeed create all this for us and us alone. The most truly tragic thing would be if we were alone and manage to let ourselves become extinct - no other life form out there to save us. Then who would enjoy the splendor of the universe? BUt as long as some hold on firmly to the belief that there HAS to be other life out there, somewhere, we fail as humans to find the impetus to do what we eventually must - get off this planet and colonize others for our own survival. No, instead we stay timidly here on this planet and somehow expect THEM to come to us - how arrogant. There may not be anyone to come. We boldy send out our satellites and our signals and patiently wait for THEM to respond. But what if there really is no one to respond? Either way, the universe is too vast to explore it all from here. We'll never know the answers if we don't get out there! And so we should be pumping huge amounts of efforts into doing just that - getting out there. |
