    Who is to say that Venus is certainly a lifeless, inanimate object
    anyway?  In the early days of our planet's life it too may have seemed
    worthless.  If some other lifeform came along back then and attempted
    a major experiment on this planet, we might not be around today.
    Don't forget, nature has always seemed to be wiser than humans in the
    past!

Who's to say that some other lifeform came along, and did attempt a major
experiment on this planet and that's why we are around today.

Just a thought!
