- SETI is not an attempt to undermine and supplant a validated, accepted scientific theory
- Believers-in-ETI have not historically tried to violently suppress information that threatens their beliefs
- SETI operates within the accepted methodology of science rather than redefining scientific terms and methods
- The evidence sought by SETI (another difference right there...searching for evidence) is a phenomenon not yet observed to occur naturally. All of the phenomenon ID points to as evidence HAVE been observed to occur naturally, protestations-to-the-contrary notwithstanding
If only it was singular...
