Hello,all,

This thought process is why I gave up a career in science.

>Real Alien Life Forms Unlikely To Resemble E.T.

Why do they always use E.T.as an example of an Alien , when they
just as easily could resemble, ah, Dan Quayle-hmmm?

This is an example of the Scientific mind, yes there is life,
but due to our exalted position there can't be (read; I hope
there isn't because if there is, 30 years of work goes in the
dumpster) intelligent lfe else- where in the universe.

Scientist on Mars, anilyising soil sample found in anchient
vehicle track (think "sand crawler") she writes up the report,
stating that the sample was "taken from an interesting
geological feature."

Given the predilection for the creation of planets,I would think
that "Just right" would be common.

How about Jungles and Deserts and Oceans-oh my!-we aren't
allowed to speculate like some wild science fiction or UFO
nutkake.

I agree, but,its been my expeience that conventional science is
like any fundemental belief system-don't question,just believe
no- thing exsists outside of our selves.We are it, the height of
evolution.

May the worm extend a pseudopod and say:"pleased to meet you in
perfect english".
