S.E.T.I. just isn't a good idea.

Well I'm not going to get into the religion / aliens debate..

But I have to say, if you don't think life exists out there somewhere, you have to be crazy. Basically if there was life formed on our planet, you can sure as hell bet it happened somewhere else too. There are tens of billions of planets out in the universe, and even if our earth is extremely rare, eventually you're going to come upon another planet that's exactly alike. Who knows. There could be a species out there that resembles us exactly, on the other side of the universe.

There's simply no way we're here alone.

The likelyhood that there's life anywhere near us? Pretty low. If there was, we'd probably know about it by now. It's only some 4 light years away. At that rate we'd be shooting back and forth emails to ET.

If there is life around here, they're trying to avoid us.
