The article "The Anthropic Principle" by George Gale in the December 1981 Scientific American (That's the beer bubble issue) seems relevant to the extraterrestrial civilization discussion. It concerns itself with the inductions one might make concerning the nature of the universe, given our knowledge of life on earth. I vacillate between thinking the article is hogwash and thinking it's stating the obvious. Lew Mammel, Jr. ihuxr!lew
