    What if we hear from ET?

    Say that tomorrow we detect radio signals from space. It's a television program from another world, with beings that are clearly alien to our own. What happens to faith? Three main questions: 1) Would we need to analyze their culture (to see if they are ethical by our standards) before...

    Yet another newbie. :)

    Hi there. My real name's Anna, but most of my friends call me Trickster (because I used to do sleight of hand tricks in high school). I have one degree in Psychology, and a second one in Engineering (Computer Science). I'm far too educated for my own tastes. :) I'm a Philosophical Taoist...
