And when they talk about THE ONE in deep stentorious tones they mean a grey amorphous blob that doesn't have the smallest speck of intelligence or consciousness that did something very important that they can't specify. They give no evidence for anything and they can't even speculate how the blob managed to do the very important blobish thing that blobs tend to do.
