[citation][nom]dman3k[/nom]Here's the problem with Stephen Hawking's theory. We humans think we are so civilized that we will not destroy creatures of another planet, and, heck, we even dreamed of a "prime directive." Not saying we're Star Trek, but I'm just saying we know what's wrong and taking another land while killing its inhabitants is wrong.No, these aliens are so much more advanced than we are. Are we assuming that they're barbaric? Why can't they also be more civilized? Is humility, understanding, and civility only a human philosophy?That's why Stephen Hawkings is wrong.[/citation]
history is ful of "civilized people screwing over the "uncivilized" .
