    .`......Astronomers have their own version of the single person's dilemma: Do you wait by the phone for a call from that certain someone? Or do you make the call yourself and risk getting shot down?



    Instead of love, of course, astronomers are looking for alien life, and for decades, they have sat by their telescopes, waiting to hear from E.T. It didn't happen, and so now some of them want to beam messages out into the void and invite the closest few thousand worlds to chat or even visit......`

    `.....And this week several prominent space experts, including Space X founder Elon Musk and planet hunter Geoff Marcy, started a petition cautioning against sending out such messages, saying it is impossible to predict whether extraterrestrial life will be benign or hostile.`

    Are people delusional? Evil exists --in this Universe, its not a solitary product of the solar system or galaxy. Now it could be only a product in this dimension. Yet nothing here indicates that the evil described in the Holy bible is unique to and bound only here on earth. The angels rebelled and followed Lucifer. They were cast out of heaven and that heaven was not on this planet. -Tyr

    Liberalism and its philosophy presupposes its own perfection, thus any decision made is therefore the correct one.
    That is actually Godlike conceit and historically has been shown to be a mistake every time.
    Yet the arrogant bastards never learn from history, another trait the arrogant elitists dumbasses have. -Tyr
