Mr. Outcast,

I suggest that you do a little personal research on Mr. Haisch and his flight-by-night outfit he calls the "California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics."

As for my reasoning about the probability of E.T., let me explain it in simple terms...

Given the vast size and sheer scale of the universe, there may be innumerable places where life might have originated and evolved into intelligent creatures. But it is this very same vast size and and sheer scale that makes it very unlikely that any extraterrestrial intelligence would have found us and then traveled over incredible distances to drop in for a visit. The number of places and the distances we are talking about are beyond our own human comprehension. Consequently, there is an inverse relationship between the likelihood of extraterrestrial intelligence elsewhere in the universe and the possibility of E.T. dropping by earth to phone home.
