Re: [asa] Contact with Alien Civilizations

There's a world of difference between "awe-struck", and "Falling down and
worshipping".

It would indeed be awesome if one found irrefutable evidence of intelligent
life outside our planet.

The Carl Sagan (first contact) idea (often cited by Dembski) is a sequence
of prime numbers. That's not THAT intelligent, of course, but it would be
world headline news if such a signal were received from outer space.
