The age of the universe alone is enough for me not to discount intelligent life.

> We are back to one million monkeys typing a Shakespeare sonnet. You still think it is time enough without 'help', just natural processes? The appearance of life seems 'destined' since it appeared so quickly on this planet, so I assume that you assume it is destined everywhere? SETI is still waiting.

Are we now? Do we actually know how common life is in the universe?

Never said that. Remember: I care about knowledge, not guesses.

I find it funny that you grabbed on this one. You of all people, who abhor randomness... SETI's goal is to listen... to suns "kinda like ours" in order to see if there's any signals... are you really suprised it hasn't turned anything up?

See my other entry today, sticking a fork in natural selection as a driving force.

I will... I'm stalling for a project though...

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
