I really can't be arsed to response to some of your statements but here goes:

Quote:However, we are being protected from all that at the moment by decree of the, for want of a better phrase, Galactic government as we are so unable to defend ourselves.So you think the lack of alien invasion is down to the protection of some sort of Galactic Federation?
Quote:Just because a race is more advanced than us does not mean that it is 'advanced' by Cosmic standards. We are certainly not the benchmark by which life throughout the Cosmos is to be judged.Okay. Cosmic standards. Move the goalposts. So what does Cosmic standards mean then?
Quote:Glad to hear it. You're making the mistake of thinking of God as a separate person who does things at will for his own pleasure or purpose. That's not how it is at all.Everyone is intrinsically selfish. That is a consequence of sentience coupled with complying to basic animal instincts to fulfil basic desires of self-preservation. If that's not the case with your god concept then prove it. Give a demonstrably-real example of how 'selfless' it is then.
Quote:If you really feel that way then who knows, maybe you'll get your wish. Just a shame that you won't be around to appreciate it.That's the idea. Besides, how we feel about reality is irrelevant. Its inevitable.
Quote:Yes.Start a new thread and provide it please.
