From: BURT on 9 Jun 2010 23:40 Of people that are on extraterestrial planets? I believe that they are close to us. I believe that in the order of the universe God put life close together in space. Otherwise there would be planets that would never make contact. Now that to me does not make sense. Since I am waiting for contact. But it is in millions of years ahead in my opinion. Outside of just listening to their signals. I believe we have a closest neighbor we will detect first. Then building a ship and telling them that we are comming is what we ought to do. I really believe it will come to fruition in ten million years. Mitch Raemsch

Probably as a species, but who knows?

Life that is found elsewhere should only give a secondary 'wow' as we already know that the process is possible. A super intelligent entity may perhaps arise, in the far future, evolved out of a piece of software used as AI on this ng. It is hard to imagine a future quasi-supreme intelligence evolving and developing out of early testing of its logic against Porat and Androcles. But I have no doubts and am not going to wait before believing it is possible ... |
