some dude named paul davies is of the opinion SETI ought to search in another place for messages from extra terrestrial intelligences, namely, in our dna. all i can say is, if a “message” were found (as if all that info that makes a human were not enough of a message) its authorship would instantly be attributed to the great bearded one, god, and much painful numbskullery would follow. so i say, forget the whole thing. please. spare me.
