Response Prompt Many people are interested in the search for extra-terrestrial life. The question about ETs is interesting, but is it actually driven by science? For this short response, use the class presentation (Get a Life!) to answer these two questions: (1) What are the philosophical assumptions of naturalism that drive the search? The presentation refers to the a priori commitment to naturalism, and then gives the philosophical assumptions (the logic of naturalism) as three short statements. Give those statements. (2) Based on these assumptions, briefly describe the two branches of research being conducted in astrobiology. The total length of the response should be 200-300 words. Write your response as two paragraphs, the first giving the philosophical assumptions and the second discussing the two branches of research in astrobiology. **Please cite all work
