I am one of those believers that say, if the extra solar intelligent beings come down to earth now and say, "Hello!", then i bet all hell would break loose as everything most people believe in will be put to the test and a lot of people will resist this change. not saying it wouldbt be cool as hell to me, but even i would question a few things. what i am saying, is humanity just isn't ready for ET, that is unless your name is Elliot. I did watch a little bit of the discussion on NASA TV. I have to say one thing, is everyone one there seemed like your stereotypical science nerd, especially when they were talking about Star Trek.
