I quite often look around Ex Astris Scientia, the parent site, but somehow I missed this part of it. What amuses me is that these sort of 'difficulties' in something like Star Trek or similar are regarded as plot holes and are only to be expected from a long(ish) running series with many writers (Doctor Who is the same, only more so since it's initial run lasted twenty-six years). The same plot holes in the bible are brushed over as a) not there; b) translation errors; c) not meant literally; d) all of the above - a problem made so much worse since the book is meant to have only one, divine, author which either wrote the thing itself or dictated it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
