Hi Ken, But you changed the subject. I asked how the Fermi Paradox is a strawman argument, as you assert. You did not answer that question, did you? Can you illustrate how any of the other nine are "straman arguments"? On a side note - suppose representatives of 5 alien civilizations were to show up tomorrow and all of them bring "good news" to us of eternal salvation a la' Robert Schuller. Would that have "*nothing* to do with belief in a god. Nothing?" -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
