Just think one minute about what you have said. This reveals a lot.

But as Asmedious said- if it is true, it has no effect on our lives. When it does effect…. Well, I just hope it won't be in a negative way..
How can such a monumental event not effect your life?? Life as we know it will definitely change. If intelligent extraterrestrial life is found, the people of the world and their governments will need to determine how to manage interactions with them. Aliens are different from us physiologically, and may be different from us behaviorally also. Their minds may not possess any resemblance to our own at all. If our interactions with them are positive (which I highly doubt) we may have the opportunity to learn more about them and possibly visit another world that has life. If our interactions are negative then we will have to worry about them either enslaving or destroying us all.

How active are you in this project and what are your expectations for it?
Well, one really can't be "active" in this project as it is just a program that runs on your computer. I guess I'm as active as you can be as I leave my computer on 24/7 and almost always have BOINC running.
To give you an idea these are my stats: - Total Credit: 26227.48
- Average credit: 127.41
- Results: 11
What are my expectations? I expect that I will be the first human to make contact with Intelligent Alien Life through my computer. All humanity will revere me and elect me Grand Emperor of the Earth and virgins from all over the world will throw themselves at my feet.

>>I personaly do not believe in aliens. Given the fact >>that the universe has billions of stars and planets, >>I do however feel that it is a logical possibility.
That's my personal take too. I concur that it doesn't strike me as improbable, given the estimated number of stars and planets out there. Some would argue that it's arrogant to assume Earth is the one and only planet where any kind of organisms developed. However, I find some arrogance too in the notion that some alien wanted to come from millions of light years away to some trailer park and start a relationship with a piece of white trash. And all of the "proof" I've seen seems to have a lot of holes and much better explanations (ego projections, false memory syndrome, pop culture and herd influence, the fallacy of pure anecdotal evidence, etc.).

(1) No need to guess. It is easy enough to look up and verify. (2) The Egyptian site is not any pyramid site at all. It is much older than that. (2a) But exactly why would any religion care either? That only begs the question whose answer I find to be quite obvious, don't you? You only make maps for navigation, don't you?

This makes me think about something I'm studying. I'm sorry because the scan is in French, but it won't be hard to see with what it deals :

(2.a.) Why would anyone thousands of year ago think it was important to map out the distances between stars like that?
I'll have to pass on this one.
Possibly because they believed that the stars governed their lives. Or that the "heavenly bodies" were Gods themselves. In short, they believed in crap akin to astrology.
