Intelligent? Man kind? No?!

A few weeks ago I watched CSI and there had been killings linked to a cult of believers who believed that the authorities was reptiles from outer space, and that it was their job to protect the human race. Absurdly as this may sound, there truly are people out there that believe this!

But that's not why I liked this episode. No! It was because of this punch line^^ that Grissom, the senior inspector, made addressed too Sarah: "Do you think there's intelligent life on an other planet." Sarah:"I don't even know if there's intelligent life here."

An excellent point she got there, isn't it? You can't but start to wonder, Is there really intelligent life here? I mean we do stupid things all the time, and we don't always clean up the mess we've made after ourselves. Now do we?
And how could an intelligent, a truly intelligent race sit still and allow such great suffering occur, such suffering that's on earth? How come so many animals or insects, amphibians, birds and fish are on the verge of extinction, and many so because of us, because of our actions and reckless behavior?
