When Darwinists cost you money--who knows how much will be wasted on this project.
The Logical Conclusion of the Unique DESIGN they observe among the planets, and the DESIGN elsewhere, would Obviously point to a DESIGNER (God).
BUT--they can't/won't believe in Him but will believe in little green men populating space--obviously by "chance".
"In the coming months, two teams of astronomers are going to send
messages into space in an attempt to communicate with any intelligent
aliens who may be out there listening.
These efforts are like building a big bonfire in the woods and hoping
someone finds you. But some people question whether it is wise to do
this at all.
One is using a giant new radio telescope, and the other is choosing a compelling new target.
One of these new messages will be sent from the world’s largest radio telescope, in China, sometime in 2023.
The telescope, with a 1,640-foot diameter, will beam a series
of radio pulses over a broad swath of sky. These on-off pulses are like
the 1s and 0s of digital information.
The message is called The Beacon in the Galaxy
and includes prime numbers and mathematical operators, the biochemistry
of life, human forms, the Earth’s location and a time stamp.
The team is sending the message toward a group of millions of stars
near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 10,000 to 20,000
light-years from Earth.
While this maximizes the pool of potential aliens, it means it will be tens of thousands of years before Earth may get a reply.
The other attempt is targeting only a single star, but with the potential for a much quicker reply.
On October 4, 2022, a team from the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station in England will beam a message toward the star TRAPPIST-1.
This star has seven planets, three of which are Earth-like worlds in
the so-called Goldilocks zone — meaning they could be home to liquid and
potentially life, too.
TRAPPIST-1 is just 39 light-years away, so it could take as few as 78
years for intelligent life to receive the message and Earth to get the
reply." SciNews
