Hi, I'm God, and I will grant you the answer to ...

... one of your most burning questions.

Suppose God (or, an all-powerful, omniscient being) were to descend upon the world one day. God tells you, that he will provide for you the answer to ONE - and only one - of your questions. This answer will be 100% truthful (considering he's God, and all-knowing, yeah).

What would your question be?



Although there are a million things I would like to know - How to cure AIDS? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Is Elvis really dead? How do I become rich beyond imagination? - I probably would ask God this:

"Does (intelligent) life exist anywhere outside of our Earth?"



It might sound weird that I'd waste my one question on something like this, but I've always been fascinated with the answer. On the one hand, I believe evolution of life on Earth was pretty much a crapshot: a one in a billion chance of circumstances being in the right place, at the right time. What's the chance of the same happening elsewhere in the galaxy? On the other hand ... I'd really fancy the idea that a similar lifeform to ours has managed to evolve somewhere out there. Maybe they're even trying to reach out to us now?



What about you?

Do you really answer me only one question?

How do you complete cold fusion?

Will they ever get around to making Elite IV?

When do beer prices drop?

Will Duke Nuken' Forever ever be released?

Okay, how can you (God) exist, if I do not believe in you and think you are created original to give the people the idea and hope that everything is planned and that there is a great design they are part of, but these days are pretty much used to justify wars and religion's determination to have influence in law making and how countries should be ruled.

*poof* gone :unsure:

God = being with abilities greater than your own to an extent that they appear all powerful.

This is my personal view of the term "god". Anyone can seem to possess god like abilities and powers if they are far enough advanced compared to others around them. Consider someone from today meeting a remote tribe for the first time who had never seen anyone from the modern world. The abilities and skills possessed by them would make them gods in the eyes of that tribe.

Therefore I declare myself God! ;)

Nice modesty you have there :hmmm:
