I take a pencil and I locate a point on a piece of paper. Does the point exist? Have I created it to exist?
What is the definition for the term "exist"?
Furthermore, the need to grasp stars and it's colonies becomes totally irrelevant now that I know - that I don't need "proof" for aliens to "exist", I can just draw it, to create an existence for the alien in my head which funny enough, simultaneously connects to the space around me. The alien in my head, still has the same relative definition to an alien in outer-space. If anything, you have more of a chance of finding an alien in the outer reaches of space, than you do in the deepest reaches.. of my head.
So if that's the case, and I know none of you will agree with me when I say that the pointless adventure to the beyond, is simply pointless due to the fact that we can create.. then would the meaning of exist and create be non-existent? Or does it actually REALLY exist?
