I Always Look On The Black Side

We Know That Within The Solar System Is Very Unlikely There Will Be Anything More Advanced Than Microbial Life, But If We Think Outside The Solar System And Then, The Distances Are, Of Course, Immense, Then There Could Be Earth-like Planets With More Advanced Form Of Life.

It Is Hard To Resist The Impression That The Present Structure Of The Universe, Apparently So Sensitive To Minor Alterations In Numbers, Has Been Rather Carefully Thought Out...the Seemingly Miraculous Concurrence Of These Numerical Values Must Remain The Most Compelling Evidence For Cosmic Design.

If We're Thinking About Old Civilizations, Those That Formed A Long Time Ago And There Were Stars And Planets Around Long Before Earth Even Existed, Then These Are Going To Be Towards The Center Of The Galaxy. That Is The Place To Look If You Think There Are Ancient Civilizations That Have Made Beacons Or Some Other Way Of Attracting Our Attention.

There Is For Me Powerful Evidence That There Is Something Going On Behind It All. . . It Seems As Though Somebody Has Fine Tuned Nature's Numbers To Make The Universe. . . The Impression Of Design Is Overwhelming.

If We Knew We Were Not Alone In The Universe It Would Have A Very, Very Deep Impact On Our Worldview, On Our Understanding Of Our Place In The Universe.
