You keep repeating that mantra, but without addressing at all the specific issue. Which isn't like you. I'm trying. Perhaps you're not listening. Why isn't it scientific to ask whether there are other intelligent beings that also change life forms? What is unscientific about that? I didn't say it wasn't scientific to ask? I explicitly said otherwise in a post to you just a couple of posts upstream. "I agree that that's an interesting area for scientific exploration. I would encourage scientists to see if they can figure out how to explore it scientifically." But the hypothesis you come up with as a potential answer has to be scientific, not philosophical. I submit that you call it not science just because you personally don't believe in it. Tsk, tsk. Think about that sentence. It's not science because I don't "believe in" it? We recognize something as science by believing in it? Good grief! "Believe in" is a faith-oriented concept. "Science" and "believe in" don't belong in the same book let alone in the same sentence.
