lemme add this to the fire:
have you ever seen a snow tiger? do you know anyone who has? is there any logical reason and/or evidence of the animal's existance?
no.
there exists but a dozen photos (in relative poor quality) of this animal, in addition to hundreds of "eye witness" tesitmonials. no one has ever killed on and claimed the body, no one owns one, no one holds it in their museum...
so, how is this animal's existance more believable than, say, the lochness monster -- who, if anything has MORE "proof" backing its claim to reality?
further, asimov, you can take yer theories and shove'em! :-D
we ARE weak. we ARE feebile. and we're ALWAYS wrong. defining issues and setting up rules is the only thing we do well, and thats consistantly wrong, as well. for every rule that exists, there are examples of it being broken, in addition to exceptions, sometimes numbering in the thousands.
as soon as we think we've reached a limit, and we stamp our "there is no more" bit to it, someone else surpasses that limit.
"cells are the smallest things in the universe!"
"wait a minute... atoms are in cells, and thus, the smallest things in the universe"
"um, i mean, no wait, damnit, atoms are made up of smaller protrons, etc, and THEY are the smallest things"
"europe is the universe"
"uh... ok, europe and the new world make up the universe"
"crap... other planets... damnit... ok, solar system. thats it."
"shit, what the hell was that... ok, fine, there are other systems out there, too"
ill agree with him that my claiming there are aliens is just as justifiable and logical as someone else claiming there aren't. i cant prove it, they cant disprove it. thats the bottom line.
