What was Que suggesting?

[Trurl]

In Star Trek Next Generation  the last episode “All Good Things,” the character Que, an omnipotent being, suggest the crew was not in space to map constellations. But all our physical sciences are based on these observations, So my question is what is Que suggesting?

I think meant that their voyage was one of exploring and defining human and Federation values.

Do you immediately assume hostile intent in a conflict if unable to communicate? Should you obey a law no matter the circumstances? Is noninterference always appropriate?

I thought that, with the Q, it was all about whether humans are capable of evolving beyond their primitive perspectives. It's not about the destination (mapping), it's about the journey (growing).

Both good explanations. I don’t know what to think of multiple realities. With all the histories and multiple realities, we forget we are living it. Our lives are just as significant as any reality.

Perhaps QUE was reminding the crew that they are of greater intelligence than animals, that their function is to understand what their eyes see, to appreciate the greatness of the cosmos.
