Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I like to believe that there is life elsewhere, outside of this planet. When I read about bacteria that live in hot springs, in rock-core samples deep beneath the sea bed, read about biology, it seems to me that it is fairly likely that other life forms have developed on other planets. After all, the same conditions (warmish, kinda bright, with oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and other bits and pieces) must exist on other planets. It just seems likely that this is the case. And since I believe that life originated due to some mundane, banal chemical happening, it seems also likely in a mundane, banal way that life has developed on other planets. Perhaps not the most cogent argument I've ever made, but let me put it this way: We're really not special, just because we are self-referential and clever and can imagine stuff.

Well. Can't wait to find out that I contributed to finding some evidence of intelligent life out there.

Hmmmm....
