Everytime this subject comes up..................

That the odds are good for life to exist at thousands and thousands of places in the universe are good. It is also exteremely unlikely that their life started as ours did with a four protein DNA chain of exactly the same amino acids. It may well be that any life form we encounter (or have encountered, or has encountered us) is NOT recognizable to us nor we to them.

It may also be that thousands of these "life forms" reached the peak of their "civilization" before the earth even cooled or perhaps during the ice age and are now long gone. In other places, it may be billions of years before a life form develops enough to make contact....all this providing they even want to of course. So what are the odds of having another life form visit us at this moment in time?????? Some other very advanced life form may never see a need to visit anywhere or to explore space at all. They are not necessarily like us at all are they?

I mean really.......What ARE the odds? I can't figure them, but I'll check with the Easter Bunny in a few weeks and compare what he says with the Tooth Fairy. Sorry gang, but I'm with Bill on the "Wonderful World of Little Green Wankers"..........I'll be the guy sayin', "Far out man."
