thanks for reply Achillesdude. Diversity being key, I can only wish the thinking didn't have to be so strictly 'earthly'. Perfectly called for, I think, to entertain the idea that maybe WE, Earthlings, don't know it all, as much as we'd like to. How far is it to stretch from we are not alone to we are babies in this great playground of a universe, just learning to speak, IMO. Much to be learned if one can let go of our planets current acceptable boundaries, scientifically, morally and otherwise, freeing us to consider what's possible outside our earthly abilities to measure (and control, which may well be at the heart of the debate) the universe containing us. Maybe it's my age, I'm no kid, but it's easier to let go and accept broader possibilities than to fight for the limits others inform and impose on us as permanent, finite, and have otherwise sufficed under the heading "until we know better". Must be the Mom in me, in any event, it feels more zen than some of what I've seen posted in recent days. My dos pesos, keep the change!
PS - logic could also fall under the "until we know better" in my way of thinking!
