Higher plants are are aerobic organisms, some photosynthetic bacteria are not...

I think the idea that it would result in a paradox is interesting by it's self. How does gravity work at relativistic speeds? Would the increase in mass not have gravitational effect? From the stand point of an object traveling at very close to the speed of light doesn't the entire universe appear to be behind it as a point? Similar to the way the universe would disappear as you fell into the event horizon of a black hole? I am operating on memories of some of the odd effects of black holes and very near c travel as described by, I think it was Carl Sagan, in a TV show, maybe Cosmos... I may be well off mark here, it was a long time ago...

No, actually you state things as you want them to be and then get annoyed when everyone doesn't agree.... more than a bit of difference...

If we get 3 neg reps we should get more pos rep too... I like to give out pos rep.

You said: you simply cannot support that assumption, it is obviously false because I do not agree, there fore "we all" do not agree... I don't understand what you are saying...

Nope No way to intelligently speculate on that. mammals have brains that are pretty much unique to mammals. other creatures on the earth have various sized, shaped, and efficiency of various degrees and we are all vertebrates... octopus like intelligence's when you consider that an octopus, very nearly all species, only live for a year or two but they are capable of some astounding feats of learning and apparent intelligence. Their brains are quite different than ours and we share a major portion of our DNA with them and some distant ancestry. Creatures from another planet would share zero history with us... I'm not sure that can be supported... but the success of theropod dinosaurs might support your position about bipedal predators... I thin colonial insects and their ability to manipulate the environment shows that to be a weak position... Creatures from another planet are unlikely to resemble earth life at all. Vertebrates like us were not destined to rule the large animal niches on our planet. Then there is the possibility of vertebrate like hexapods, Centauroid... I can see an octopus like intelligence evolving on a large planet with low gravity, deep atmosphere.... no way to assert it as likely... It's easy to assert the humanoid shape as ideal for tool using technological creatures but it's difficult to show them as more likely in any other biosphere... I guess the real question would be "if the tape was replayed"

I'm a bit of a cook too but my wife is the real deal, southern cooking, she puts Paula Dean to shame...

Citation please... Again, some evidence would be nice... How does does finding DNA have anything to do with ET looking humanoid? Sponges have DNA as do lice, neither of them look like humans. Machine intelligence's are a possibility...

Then god needs to work on his communication skills...

Interesting? Possibly, but not unique, I could throw a rock in a random direction from where I am sitting and have a good chance of hitting someone just like him...

looks good, can you tell us what each thing is?

I would have no problem asserting that as true, any lie asserted as the truth and used to manipulate people is improper... So what we really need is "Biblical Glasses" ? That is a good point, it suggests the entire idea of religion is misuse...

No one said it was alright to kill in the name of god... any god... Your assertion about Moses as though he really existed shows your own ignorance immortal... Again you make claims about knowledge as though religion give some real world information that can be confirmed empirically... I call horse feathers... You have yet to show this to be true after what must be hundreds of pages of debate you still cling to this fallacy ..

yes, i would define those things as harmful...

Why would god need to explain? If god wrote the manuscript it should be perfect, no errors what so ever. God could have written the math and eventually we would have understood it. What we see is a book that has no place in reality what so ever..

I found Jesus, he was mowing the grass next door....

When they result in harm to another human?

I guess there is no possibility you can show some real world evidence of this is there? To get back on topic... I guess we can assume they have hands of some sort, arms to allow the hands to to move around, legs of some sort. A head with two or more eyes, eyes would be close to the brain so there is less lag time between seeing and knowing. I don't think we can count on them being vertebrates... The more I think about it the less likely i see any aliens being humanoid... Arthropods seem more likely...

What does this mean?

Please clue us in on this "objective" truth... Seriously? Are you suggesting someone can separate the wheat from the chaff? Assuming there is any wheat or chaff to begin with... this would indicate none of them are correct...

I don't know about equations but this is the best number 8008135...

People like Immortal do... He has counterparts in every religion in the world...

First you ask this... Then you ask this... I guess i have a twisted sense of humor...

So you have stumbled on the little known fact that African crocodiles can be crossed with Green Iguanas and you get an invisible dragon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_crocodile

I just can't believe you would give me a straight line like that...
