The only reason your odds may seem to be a zillion times greater is because we know for a fact that math problems and diseases exist. That's easy to do.Originally posted by: TallBill

I'm not saying that we wont find other life. I just dont see it happening through Seti. I could eat my words some day, but there is a hell of a lot of processing power used up on seti. To each his own though I suppose!Originally posted by: networkman

Trying to find something you don't know for a fact even exists in the first place is much much harder, primarily because you must make certain assumptions to define the field of your search. But once we do find another civilization, and I have no doubt that we will, the odds of finding others will, pardon the pun, improve astronomically.![]()
That is exactly the right attitude - that is how we stay together as a TeAm.To each his own though I suppose!
