That we haven't yet been carted off by slave traders, and also haven't been exterminated for our resources and/or planet, admittedly makes me feel more safe in regards to the galaxy.

Wasn't it Sitchin who claims that he translated some tablets and that we, The Adama, are nothing more than the product of some tweaked DNA in order to produce a race of slave labor for some lazy celestial overlords? I have to admit that it's more fun than being the product of some inferior deity who created us for nothing other than to have something to kneel and bow to their celestial radiance. (Has anybody else ever seen those alleged tablets of Sitchin?) IOW, We are The Cylons!

While I don't know if ETs have ever landed or would land I'm going to stay in the gray of the idea, but who is to say that ETs would not be interested in something other than humans in terms of an interest in this planet? Just as I won't inflate our "importance" neither will I inflate the old depreciate humanity in terms of holding interest for other possible life. To support one thought over the other makes no sense as we have no concept of how other species would think, what their priorities would be, nor what their needs would be.

Frankly, I like the "wondering" of it all aspect!
