    That the human species will go extinct is no big deal. That the human civilization will go extinct is a bit troubling. Although if we explore all that we could in the universe, there wouldn't be much point to us continuing anyway... One day we might even start repeating ourselves.

    Besides, our past is there to be whether we're still there in the future. It is very unlikely that our perception of time matters outside of our universe, thus for an outside observer it is the same whether we stop existing after a certain point in time or a certain point in space – it is therefore our obligation to occupy as much of time and space as possible, but not care much about eternity.

    I was abducted last night at around four in the morning. The commander of Probe Ship 49 instructed me to tell you guys that all your silly Earth theories are dead wrong.

    There's no face on Mars. "Ancient Alien theorists" appearing in the media are idiots, con men and loonies. Von Daniken is a crackpot and the entire premise that extraterrestrials were responsible for a single thing we know about the history of this planet is moronic beyond belief, pabulum for the credulous.

    I heard they get their power from a hamster running inside a wheel.

    But where do the mice come into it? They're supposed to be running everything.

    The mice are in league with the Illuminati ferrets, of course.

    While that episode is a good adventure story, what it implies about science is absolutely disgraceful.

    That photo is obviously a fake, because, y'know, there aren't any stars in the black part. And Mars is gray and not red. And, well, because.

    I SMELL A COVER-UP!

    No wait, that's leftover tuna fish I'm smelling. Excuse me.

    Meh. Is it any less "moronic," than a 'god,' depositing his DNA into a middle eastern Jewish woman named Mary - having a child who at the age of 33 has a grand epiphany that he's also a god/man who goes onto magically create food out of thin air, make water into wine, and even raise a man from death.?

    If Von Daniken is a 'crack pot,' so were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. ;)
