Interesting, so Christianity isn't a real religion unless people are stoning their children outside the city gates for disobeying them about anything at all. And of course no Christian eats seafood, or wears two different fabrics at the same time, etc, etc. Great that clears it up, thanks!
There are many possibilities. One possibility is that a rogue Artificial Intelligence, perhaps just a civ that jumped to machines, is sweeping through the galaxy searching for technologically advanced lifeforms and razing them. Or the machines spread beacons throughout the galaxy to detect advanced lifeforms and once detected the machines send out ruthlessly efficient constructs to cure the system from the disease that is life.
Wow, being optimistic is nice once in a while but you're taking it pretty far. Do you honestly believe the average Homo sapien gives a damn about whether or not we are on the only habitable planet? Seriously. Think about it for a second. Most people care about one thing. Money and sex. Okay, two things, money, sex, and ruthless efficiency. Okay, three things, money, sex, ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Well anyway I'm quite certain most people would waive off the discovery like it was news of a bit of bad weather and go down to the local strip mall for another pair of $300 sun glasses and complain about the price of gas for their SUV with their bimbo friends over a $10 cup of coffee.
Want you meant to say is the Pharma Corps will liberate the US Discrimination System from their horribly draconian anti free market socialist communist biases. Of course all to better serve the American Citizen with The Best Health Care In The World.
Ethical conflict? Jesus what are you, Canadian? Christ, man up will you? Be All That You Can Be. Go American on their ass. If it pays well DO IT, morality is cheap, cash gets you ass, gas, and grass.
Doppler Effect isn't directly measuring the time they traveled but the distance the photons traveled. Since we know how far a photon travels in a given period of time we can extrapolate.
Ah yes, the ol' Time Doesn't Exist Argument. "I'm sorry your Honour, I couldn't have killed that man because he never was alive in the first place because even if he was alive it was in the past which doesn't exist therefore he doesn't exist and thus I could never have killed him in the first place."
The universe cares not for the whims of humans. Why would time be any different? That traumatic events would ripple through time is no more a possibility than a butterfly flapping its wings would ripple through time.

What is a "real" religion? One that assumes bullshit that a lot of people believe?
The loonies (religious nuts) are running your country... What do you expect?!?!
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of internets.

Two million years? Pretty generous don't you think? I give us about two years if our current scientific understanding of calenders is to be believed.

Hmm, whenever I rub my little rod on a piece of cloth I never get feathers flying around.
There's an app for that.
He's Japanese, just give him some used electronics, a paper clip, and some used panties and he'll whip up a Super Fun Time Telomere Re-Raveler.
Don't worry, the price of long pork will most certainly fall in the coming years due to increased supply.
Oh, they experience time. It's all relative though...

Are you sure? My Texas School Board Approved textbook says the speed of light is exactly the speed it takes God to wink. Coincidence? I think not.
Real men drop a thousand kilogram rod of solid iron onto their target from orbit.
It's artificial selection and everything GP said is still accurate.
