As an African-American author I see scientific data distorted by cultural perspective, and the obvious overlooked. For example: Did it ever occur to anyone looking at a star in space surrounded by a cloud of gas and material that the star may eventually form the core to a planet and the surrounding cloud may form the crust to the planet? The next time you look up at the stars, please see the billions of occasions when Nature brought together the right elements at the right time to produce atomic fission like the explosion from the bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima. The Earth was formed from the same material which formed the Sun. Indeed, the elements used to build the bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima were taken from the Earth's crust. At the Earth's core, you will find the same thing that was left after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima- melted rock and metal. What reasonable mind can advocate the theory that at no time during the formation of the Earth did the same material that produced the Sun's atomic fission also produce atomic fission here on a smaller scale? There are dwarf stars found orbiting larger stars. If you wish to obtain a copy of my book HOMO SUMMETROS, the publisher's web page address is www.gramps.org. I value your opinion and welcome open dialogue. I'm curious. Don't you fear being contacted by extraterrestrial intelligence? William L. Tibbs PO Box 68 Deerfield, NJ 08313 jexportimp@aol.com

>I'm curious. Don't you fear being contacted by extraterrestrial intelligence? I like to tell myself that I do not (would not) fear being contacted by ETs, but I do believe I am lying to myself. I want contact and wish for it almost every night; however, I have imagined actually meeting one face to face and I do think I'd be utterly terrified. Many pictures would fly through my head: ID4, Aliens, Species, Event Horizon (terrible movie, btw), and all the plentiful novels written about Earth being over taken by hostile aliens. I really don't believe that, if ETs did travel all the way here, they would be hostile. I think that they would be past that behavior evolutionally.
