No human could initially put on a brave front to actually be reckoned with - impossible. How can you make such a definitive statement, with 100% certainty? What is the basis of your absolute certainty? Do you know - ahead of time, with 100% certainty - how every single human being on this planet will behave? If so, how? If not, your argument is invalid.

Just go to 6:50 if you want instant proof that humans can be defiant in the face of fear. You might think this is only a story, but do you think the valiant death of your namesake was a story, too?! youtube.com "...Giordano Bruno spent the next eight years in chains in the Castel Sant’Angelo, where he was routinely tortured and interrogated until his trial. Despite this, he remained unrepentant, stating to his Catholic Church judge, Jesuit Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, "I neither ought to recant, nor will I." Even a death sentence handed down by the Catholic Church did not change his attitude as he defiantly told his accusers, "In pronouncing my sentence, your fear is greater than mine in hearing it." Immediately after the death sentence was handed down, Giordano Bruno’s jaw was clamped shut with an iron gag, his tongue was pierced with an iron spike and another iron spike was driven into his palate. On February 19, 1600, he was driven through the streets of Rome, stripped of his clothes and burned at the stake." And I haven't even mentioned a mother or father defending their young, have I?? Don't even think about matching those punk ass aliens against humanity. We will kick their infrared butts, buster!
