Just finished the above book which was published this year, a facinating subject whether you`re interested in it or not. The author, Paul Davies, is one of the world`s leading authorities on the subject of life on other worlds, and in particular, intelligent life. The latter is perhaps the most important of all, as to detect artificial signal`s from beyond Earth, would be the most important discovery ever made in our brief history up to now. Forgetting the science fiction and fantasy land ideas, does anyone have any personal views on any of it? Maybe the most posing question would be, where does religion stand?
