The bible, we are told, answers all of humanity's questions.
Watching NOVA tonight a recurring question was posed: "is there other life somewhere?"
I am unaware of how the bible answers that question.
If it had I am sure I would have had the answer drummed into my head from childhood to my current state of incipient senility, but I am unaware of any such phenomenon.
That's not surprising, because neither Beowulf nor Iliad answer that question.
Either.
And, anyway, the thumpers of the bible eschew that sort of question.
Pity.
