I will agree, that with the infinity of space, the chance of there being life out there is almost a certainty. However, how long has life been on this planet? In that time how long have we been able to communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum? So, life has been on this planet for 3.7billion years, yet we''ve been sending signals for the last 150 years. Now, we''ve invented the computer, the atomic bomb, genetic warfare, and the most dangerous when combined with computers, broke the genetic code of man (and just about every creature we can get DNA on). If you want to see into the next 20,50,100 years, we''ll be interfacing computers with people, I guarantee. And how far are we going to go with this to be smarter, faster, and live longer, eventually forever? So, in the period of maybe 200 years we will have gone from primitive humans to high-functioning, genetically modified and computer-integrated creatures. What do you think the chances are of possible aliens going this same route? And we''re going to catch the exact time period they are making the same possible transition, from light years away. Well, I have hope for them (and I''m glad they are looking, you have to look), but a long-shot is an understatement to say the least.

The bible only mentions what humans were aware of 2000 years ago.

Atheists are hoping to find another alternative to where life came from, to add to their growing lists of theories that include every possibility except God, of course.
Posted by Christ_Truth

That''s because there is no evidence of god. That''s what scientists build their theories on, evidence.

What an astronomical waste of tax-payer money. No pun intended.

Christ_Truth, do you feel threatened by anothers'' belief that life exists elsewhere? Since you are the one who brought "god"into this...as is always the case with Christians and muslins...show us evidence proving god exists? and while your at it, prove that god is a "he".
Please to ask me to disprove this, I didn''t start this, nor do I ask anything of you in order to share my beliefs.

-You bet there is, and His name is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord and Creator of all intelligence on this earth. He is the author of intelligence. All living things come from Him and are made by Him.

I see Paul Allen has millions to spend looking for aliens, but claims empty pockets when he wants to screw over all the investors that put money into the Portland Rose Garden that was built for the Blazers.
Uh huh. What a jerk.

WHY? WHO CARES? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF KNOWING?
Posted by WPC0101

I don''t know. To gain knowledge? To discover an unknown that may benefit mankind. How are we to make new discoveries if we don''t look for them?

You are aware that the SETI project is 100% privately funded, right? So they''re perfectly entitled to spend money on these things!

Now, if it were run by the government, THEN we''d be obliged to have a say in it, but since it''s not, we don''t.

Next!
