God did not create the Universe

Also of note:

    Quote

Hawking argued earlier this year that mankind's only chance of long-term survival lies in colonising space, as humans drain Earth of resources and face a terrifying array of new threats.

 

He also warned in a recent television series that mankind should avoid contact with aliens at all costs, as the consequences could be devastating.

Apologies if this slowed down 800%, but it's the first I've seen of it here.

Well duuuuh.

I remember someone posting the "avoid contact with aliens" thing.

Obviously we were created by a scientist in a petri dish.

we shouldn't formulate precipitated conclusions about how aliens are good/bad for us, before we actually meet them.

Aliens will come here, and treat us like pets. And we are not as humane as we think.

fuck aliens

Especially the illegal ones.

they already did that! thousands of years ago, imo.

and we're still pets.

as much as the every man on the street thinks he's free... we're not.

there are massive limits to our Freedom.

anyway... that's a wholle other topic. :)

It was explored in Fantastic Planet and the book The Minds Eye.

Well, what created the law of gravity I have to wonder.

Man

a wolf swallowing the moon i'm pretty sure

i wrote a paper on it once

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he said reality wasn't real?

Am I doing it rite?

Yes he did. It's obvious.

We all just exist in an episode of The Twilight Zone, it's all fake.

it is slowed down 800% in the sense of "scientist/theologian says something unprovable"

i very much agree about space colonization. i think that is the important part of his statement. god's existence is something that i'm not interested in at the moment.

humanity already has the ability to destroy itself hundreds of times over, so it's probably a good idea to expand beyond this planet so if/when the nukes fly, part of us will still survive.
