Seti@Home Finds Aliens!!!

Wow that article about the denial sure does sound like a conspiracy. I realize there are optimists and pessimists, but this article doesn't sound like the same people in the other two. They sound like Government black suits.

I figure the MIB's are actually mafia trying to convince people that what they saw was a UFO and not something illegal.

There is no war in Albania...

I honestly don't see what it would do to religions. It just means there is a God big enough to create the whole universe, not just our tiny Earth. That much we already knew. Just look up at a bright, star-studded night sky sometime.

That's easy to say, but then how do aliens fit into religion? It will be a huge deal - I don't know about the Qoran, but in the Bible there's that old phrase that went something like - God made man in his own image...

Current faiths don't really have much place for *others*.

And what about the religion of the aliens? If they're civilization has been around for a billion years, they might talk to God on a regular basis

Too many questions, not enough answers.....

The religious questions about aliens are.
1) If Aquatic do they have fins and scales?
2) Otherwise, Do they chew their cud and split at the hoof but not the toe?

As for aliens: I agree with some scientists that it's statistically unlikely that we're alone in the universe, but that doesn't guarantee that such intelligent life would be close enough to contact us, that we would understand it when it did, or that it wouldn't just be another resource-grubbing species like us.

True enough - imagine what it would feel like to have an all-powerful alien species start building refineries and pumping resources out of Earth in much the same way we seem to want to destroy the habitat of the species with which we currently co-habitate. Drilling for oil, dumping toxins in rivers, polluting the air. Ironic, for sure.

Maybe these transmissions are the aliens' version of the I Love Lucy Show.....

Hee-hee. "I Love Xagnorp"

There is just too much cruft to be usable to communicate.

You just reminded me of this

Yet another way

Yet another way for the University to make money off of it's students. That's where the deal is.

Bring their punk butts on. We'll install windows XP, promise them longhorn and then give them SP2.

this really made me laugh.

and btw, I just finished watching Contact (a great movie), so this thread seems especially relevant...

Not trying to cause problems here... but, if we all fart at the same time, maybe we would be picked up by SETI and be infamously famous.
