this is good to know as it solidifies the fact that besides the numerical probability of other life existing in space, we may just have a STAR TREK type of dealie, or Star Wars thing....one thing I would say though is that the development of "our" type of life is quite unique and still sets us apart from the vast array of possible chewbaccas, tribbles, and E.T.'s, this in turn will prove the signifigant importance of "VARIETY" and maybe the racists, the sexists, the dogmatic staunch "my god can beat up your god" types, will awaken to the nonsense of clinging to a single PORTRAIT falsely comforting their small minds, that when things are different and unique and "bizzarre", that is the greartest thing that life has to offer.....
