I don't have the privilege to know Guillermo personally. He has been kind enough to answer my e-mails. Today I saw his University of Washingtom mentors, Brownlee and Ward, in a History Channel program The Universe.
They mentioned the very important idea of Galactic Habitable Zone, which I believe owes something to Guillermo, but they did not mention him!
Guillermo has been slighted by the scientific community because he believes in Intelligent Design. I am agnostic, so who am I to chose between both beliefs: There is an Intelligent God, or not?
I hope the situation is not as bad as I am imagining it.
