Lisa....LMAO ! I thought the same thing.

Yes....this should be intresting. The bad thing about it is.......next week, they could have a show defending the bible story of creation. Oh well.....fair is fair ( or is it fare)

I have a friend who works at Montana State University where Jack teaches. I've heard stories about Dr Horner. Want his phone number? My son is very interested in dinosaurs and has met several paleontologists, so for his birthday I had my friend get Jack to autograph one of his books for Kevin. My friend told Jack about Kevin and he said "I hope to see him as a grad student one day"

How cool is that??

He knows about Dinosaurs? I thought he just went to the corner!

Why no contact in our own galaxy? The habitable zone is on the rim where we are. the whole galaxy is 100,000 light years across roughly. In the last 50 years we could have picked up anything broadcast within a 50 light year arc each way from us along the habitable area of the Milky Way of beings at the same level as us. Others could be farther out if they were broadcasting longer which means they developed faster than us if they are the same age. Some limits exist and it takes time to get all conditions right for life so life couldn't have gotten too much of a head start elsewhere if it is similar. I don't think anyone's there. The odds are just too great against it even counting all the area in this galaxy.

I saw this (in hi-def... woot!) and thought it was pretty interesting. It was strange how everyone talked about details as if they were facts, and I think some of the life forms they showed were pretty incredible, but I still enjoyed it.

I guess it's a series and they are going to have more episodes.
