    Meh...a lot of conjecture that proves nothing. Of course it mentions the earth a lot it was written for humanity's benefit. If aliens are out there God may very have given them a book that talks mostly about Riegel 7.

    Meh ... a lot of conjecture that proves nothing. Were they also created in his likeness? What determined where he created you? Why did he tell us we are in his likeness? Why would you choose to leave either side out of either side's primer? I suppose that falls in line with a lot of the rest of The Bible--no logical sense whatsoever. I hope I'm not living in some alien's Sodom & Gomorrah.

    Hey I'm just saying the Bible doesn't say we're the center of the universe. I never claimed to have all the answers. More importantly why would aliens have their orgies in your home town?

    A scientific theory isn't judged on whether it's ``true''; we leave the concept of ``truth'' to theologians, creationists and other amateurs.

    A scientific theory is judged on how useful it is.

    I love this statement.
    Not because it's true
    but because it's useful.

    Of that whole list you wrote, it sure does concentrate predominately on the earth. If you think about it, there's a whole lot more to talk about than merely the earth ... so in a way, it does give all the attention to the earth. The fact that it was created before the stars just makes it all that much more central. Also, where else would God put beings made in his likeness? If you're going to defend The Bible's creation story, I don't recommend Slashdot.

    just a thought, but my lights are "digital" in a sense. power is on is 1, power is off is 0. At least for the 0, there is no carrier. What really warps my brain is trying to decide if 0 power/voltage/carrier/whatever is analog or digital. Doesn't really matter, does it.

    You may not be ducking the issue but until you can point at that cluster of cells you haven't proven the issue either.

    There is no cluster of cells. Consciousness is not a thing which can be contained. It is a quality which emerges from a process. It's like I asked you "which of these trees is the forest," and you said "It doesn't really work like that," and I said "stop ducking the question!"
