To expect alien technology to be just a few decades ahead of ours is too incredible to be taken seriously. – Paul Davies

The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain lifes origin, any more than a study of silicon, copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program. – Paul Davies
Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power – power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. – Paul Davies
