Dan, that argument is pretty much exactly what planted the seeds of my atheism back 45 years ago. I learned enough astronomy by 9th grade to see that the Earth was a pretty piddly pebble in the scheme of things, and had a pretty hard time buying into the notion that the Creator of All That would give a red rat's ass about what happened here. Being a fairly well-indoctrinated preacher's kid, I tried to make belief work until I was in my forties - but then I had occasion to really reflect on religion and decided yes, it all is, indeed, fable.
Oh, and I whacked it a great deal as a ninth grader, just like Jimmy.

Re: Put in Perspective.....
Why he wants to make contact is still anybody's guess, of course...
Telemarketing. To cell phones, yet.
