other intelligent lifeforms out there. There's simply too much space and

Eric,
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 al

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.

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 a
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 an
Where are "they"? For the sake of this argument let's say they're on one of
the Alpha Centauri planets, a mere 4.3 light years away. Or, for that
matter, they could be anywhere within 75 light years, the distance Earth's
transmissions have reached. With their advanced planet detection methods an

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)

I think there is life out there somewhere, but I doubt they are
broadcasting their presence using primitive technologies like radio or
anything else
A very good point!!

I think there is life out there somewhere, but I doubt they are

detect us by looking for our carrier pigeons.

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 mo
