Good to see you're admitting finally admitting that, Harry.


All there is is

superstition and "faith." Do you think someone is going to uncover a

manual in the creator's handwriting or that you'll hear a voice coming

out of the sky? Note that I am not saying a creator does not exist.



That's the plan isn't it? We've spent the world debt over and over to see if there is life forms on other planets and looking for 'Higher Intelligence" to meet our understanding, or satisfaction as it may be...

I'm

saying that existence of a creator cannot be proved or disproved.


ok.

For

those who believe in such an existence, it can only be believed on the

basis of religious faith and superstition.




Is that bad?


Someday, perhaps, we'll encounter aliens who do not look like us. I'm

not referring to John Herring's Mexicans, but to beings from another

solar system. There goes the "man is made in god's image" nonsense, eh?


Nonsense? It's not proven to be nonsense by any scientific data. where do you come up with this 'nonsense' anyhow?


There's plenty of science available that indicates homo sapiens was

around a couple of hundred thousand years ago and became behaviorally

modern many tens of thousands of years ago.



Do they look like humans?



In the speed of light in

a vacuum, Einstein developed a theory to account for it. He didn't have

a lightspeed speedometer.


How could he tell what speed light travels? he obviously estimated.

His theory has been proven to be incredibly

accurate via measurement.


no doubt, but it's being proven to be off too.
