> Part of me wishes it was true. Me too, on one level, but we should be careful what we wish for. If it was an alien solar sail, there's not much in earthly history of two cultures at different levels of advancement meeting that lends much hope for a long-term happy outcome of an intergalactic encounter. |

Then at least we had in both cases humans for whom there is God that they will ultimately share similar cultures ("do not kill when not needed", "may share similar feelings",...)
With aliens this is a whole different perspective. I am personally not excited to find out how our worlds may or may not be compatible.
