To Expect Alien Technology To Be Just

We Will Never Fully Explain The World By Appealing To Something Outside It That Must Simply Be Accepted On Faith, Be It An Unexplained God Or An Unexplained Set Of Mathematical Laws.

Matter Is Regarded As Being Constituted By A Region Of Space In Which The Field Is Extremely Intense . . . . . . There Is No Place In This New Kind Of Physics Both For The Field And Matter, For The Field Is The Only Reality.

So How Can We Test The Idea That The Transition From Nonlife To Life Is Simple Enough To Happen Repeatedly? The Most Obvious And Straightforward Way Is To Search For A Second Form Of Life On Earth. No Planet Is More Earth-like Than Earth Itself, So If The Path To Life Is Easy, Then Life Should Have Started Up Many Times Over Right Here.

Science Is About Explaining The World, And Religion Is About Interpreting It. There Shouldn't Be Any Conflict.

The Secret Of Life Does Not Lie In Its Chemical Basis . . . Life Succeeds Precisely Because It Evades Chemical Imperatives.
