The lack of aliens conquering our planet for me is an indication that there is no large scale shortcut to the universal speed limit. No hyperdrive, no warp drive, no infinite improbability drive.


I believe it's caused by the U.S. having The Terminator sitting in the governor's seat in California - either that or because the pods haven't hatched, yet.

Two seperate questions:

For the religious, would finding of life on this planet shake up your religious veiw?
For the non-religious, would finding of no life on this planet shake your scientific views?

IMO, it's a statisical certanity that life abounds in the universe. Now whether it's "living" as well know it (Carbon based etc.) is a different story...
