meh, Hawk aint dead, but he is very close it seems.
As for life on other planets, I find it hard to believe that out of billions upon billions of stars and planets, that we'd be the only one to be able to support life. Does life exist on other planets? Yes, I believe so. Does INTELIGENT life exist on other planets? That is the real mystery.... I think probobly, but there is no way we can tell.
However, I would like to comment on something- the fact that countless hicks keep reporting aliens (it's always them :\), and that people believe we'r going to be invaded one day. If there is really intelligent life on other planets, what would make someone think they're only interested in us? If they did have the technology to fly from galaxy to galaxy at will in some magical spacecraft of the future, why would they stick around here? It like in a science class. You look at an ameoba(sp?) through a microscope. Ok. Nothing Special. So you move onto the next one. It's like that, except we'r the ameoba. I would imagine the aliens have much better things to do than study a single ameoba when there are billions of others.
