Hi Phil, My point wouldn't work very well for Big Foot or Nessy... ;)
There are none proven to exist. However we know there are humans in the
universe, and can say with reasonable thought that there are probably
other intelligent lifeforms out there. There's simply too much space and
time for
seems to me if Seti Was realy interested in looking for messages from other
civilizations they would be tuning into relativistic wave phase modulation of
ULF frequencies. The time span from ordinary radio waves to relativistic
transmissions would be expotential like our increase in knowlege.
Intelligent life on earth is rare too!

Hi Richard;
That's an excellent
I might agree with that sentiment if there were enough information to
support it. However, I've got an interesting question about perspective
and time.
If a child looked out the window of a house for a mere 32/1000th of a
second and formed a conclusion that horses do not exist, would you say
Interesting point Eric. My question is: how many years of complete and total
silence would it take to reach the conclusion there's just nobody out there?
1,000? 10,000? a million years? a billion? a googlezillion? You could listen
for eternity, hear nothing and say, well we just need a little
I think there is life out there somewhere, but I doubt they are
broadcasting their presence using primitive technologies like radio or
anything else we would recognize. This is not unlike aliens trying to
detect us by looking for our carrier pigeons.

A very good point!!

Valid points Phil... My answer to your question. As many years as it
takes... Just like meteorite hunting, you have to look where they are,
and even if you're looking in the right place, you still might not find
them. ;) (interestingly enough, I think everyone here on-list can relate
to that)
Sorry this sentence should read:
The child could be looking out the [right] window at the wrong time. The
horse could have been there and gone. Or the child could be looking out
the wrong window at the wrong time.
Big difference.

Hi Richard;
That's an excellent argument for cancelling the silly SETI project. The key
word in your argument is believe. You believe in the existence of exo-life
without any supporting evidence, I don't. So we can agree to disagree.
If life never existed on Mars, I can't see it existing
Hi Phil, I agree completely with your sentiment, and respect your
belief. However I sincerely disagree that your conclusion that
intelligent extra terrestrial life does NOT exist is based on evidenced
fact. There is only a lack of evidence, and the best argument to the
contrary is us. Humans

Richard,
With all the news reports of organic compounds on Mars and fossils in
Martian meteorites I think the possibility of extraterrestrial life is very
on topic.

Your point is well taken. According to the laws of probablity, anything that
happened once could happen again, not matter how unlikely. However I could
use your logic to argue for the existence of the Loch Ness Monster or
Bigfoot, if I chose to believe in such things. This argument was
