I am a graduate of the Florida State University Actuarial Mathematics Program who is currently a Actuarial Programmer for an international Financial Institution based in the Netherlands. I live and was raised here in South Florida and enjoy studying many aquatic wonders (I am a Reef Fanatic). I also enjoy Skiing, Running, and Chess. I am also very competetive because my identical twin would never let me relax.
Jesus Christ is my motivation for Success! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
The Bible didn't mention Dinosaurs either but we know they existed. Humans were created in His image because we are His chosen being. I don't expect to find any humanoid creatures of our intelligence but Dolphins are very intelligent creatures who do not have souls. Maybe an alien organism will be a cure to some earthly ailment when consumed... the possibilities are endless. My spare cycles will not be wasted :)
What degree of intelligence do these search algorithms target anyway?
