Why are we Carbon based life forms... And not Silicon/Silicate based life froms?

Because, y'know, pretty much most of the planet is made up of silicates and not Carbon.

Jus' sayin'....

Can't say I see the relevance here.  Can you either explain or provide a source?  Thanks in advance.

 From a quick Google-Fu search into the WIkipedia.

 "....The thicker crust is continental crust, which is less dense and composed of  (felsic) sodium, potassium, aluminium silicate rocks, like granit.... "

Not a lot of Carbon mentioned in said section on earth's crust/outer bit.

Again, jus' sayin'.

If we're supposed to made of dirt.

Why, then, aren't we currently made of dirt?

Not at work.
