Tim, I don't pretend to know anything! As for my thesis, I am merely making assumptions based on statistics and the vast size of our galaxy and the number of stars it contains. No one has decided anything about the nature of our species except the religious. BTW, did you look at the simulation?
I think it might be best to take any further discussions of this nature off-list.
