What is important is that we have the ability to create.

[On President Bush's plan to get to Mars in 10 years] Stupid. Robots would do a better job and be much cheaper because you don't have to bring them back.

The "Powers That Be" are not smart enough to engineer Armageddon, but they may yet be stupid enough. If governments are involved in covering up the knowledge of aliens, then they are doing a much better job of it than they seem to do at anything else.

What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing hell for people who asked such questions?

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
