re: It seems to me that there are two types
Johannes — (archived)

of "true believers" posting to these boards. One type "believes" that humans on Earth are the most developed and intelligent beings in the whole universe. This type of thinking has stunted their imagination to the point that they can not "believe" in the possible existence of life somewhere else in the universe.
There seems to be a "sub species" of these believers that can believe that there "might be" intelligent life some where else in the universe "but" these beings can not be "more intelligent" than us on this planet.

The other type of "true believers" have imagination and "believe" that humans are not the only intelligent beings in the universe. These types of "believers" think that the universe contains many intelligent beings and that some of these beings are perhaps thousands of years ahead of us in their development of space travel. Therefore, it is reasonable to these "true believers" to assume that these highly advanced beings might be able to visit this planet if they so desire.

Both types of "true believers" will have "faith" in their beliefs until some "irrefutable evidence" is presented to counter their belief. In the mean time, both types of "true believers" will keep looking for evidence that would "strengthen" their belief.

On a different note, the rocks on the planet Mars are interesting in many ways, for instance the one HERE

How did the wind (or water) carve out those neat grooves?
