the specter of revelations
new -- 1 may 2007

mainstream science, nasa, and numerous government and private organizations throughout the world have provided major funding in mankind’s quest to discover life in the solar system and beyond. much of this effort – for example, the seti project (i.e., the search for extraterrestrial intelligence) – has been to discover intelligent life. but as pogo possum’s friend so aptly noted:

“there are only two possibilities. there is intelligent life out there that is more intelligent than us. or we are the most intelligent life in the universe. either way, it’s a mighty sobering thought.”

indeed it is. it is also one of the reasons that nasa and other acronyms are extraordinarily conservative when it comes to any speculation concerning the discovery or even the barest suspicion of discovery of extraterrestrial intelligent life. it’s entirely one thing to espouse learned treatises on the possibility of spores of life reaching earth from the planet mars. it is quite another to talk about intelligently directed spores.

for example, even the penultimate example of knee-jerk conservatism in mainstream science, scientific american, has recently (november 2005) published an article by david warmflash and benjamin weiss [1] which states that the very idea that…

“living cells or their precursors arrived from space -- strikes many people as science fiction. developments over the past decade, however, have given new credibility to the idea that earth's biosphere could have arisen from an extraterrestrial seed.”
