What do you think we'd do if we met alien life that was intelligent like us, but lacked our flaws. Run like hell. Evolved creatures bear the indelible stamp of their lowly origins. They calculate. They cheat. They hurt. They kill. And in these things they take pleasure. But if you're floating through outer space, and you encounter a perfect species... Something made it. So, you have two possibilities. (1) this is the precious creation of a self-loathing evolved organism (2) it's a lie, and you're being trapped. Either way you're probably about to be killed. What if that's just chauvinism, and there exists species that aren't horrible, like humans? I call those species food.

The Cdigyp Empire has recorded the Future (don’t ask me to explain right now, it’s complicated, way beyond quantum physics) in order to reveal the following:.After the Cdigyp missionaries got through with us everybody without exception believed in God. They proved His existence and even introduced Him to us in person. He had been awakened and told to pay attention to His job from now on. When He had started his nap, Homo erectus was in control of the Earth. He was astonished how things had changed, and how badly off track things had gone. In apology He offered to make a few corrective changes, but these were graciously denied. So instead of God the Father, He became God the Consultant Usually Ignored..The Cdigyp reformed Nature. They had experience in doing that sort of thing, and got esthetic satisfaction from it. First, they took away our sense of sight for a while, after deleting our most violent impulses. Blind people had to be enlisted as teachers. After a few generations the racial differences had blended so that nobody was much different in appearance than anybody else. .Then they increased the intelligence of the “higher” animals – apes, monkeys, whales, pigs, parrots, wolves, and the bigger cats – so that it was much nearer to our own. We could no longer claim dominion over other creatures and had to work out things. We could still be omnivores, but none of those other species could be eaten, unless decided by court proceedings. .God actually learned a lot of useful techniques from the Cdigyp and went on to success in forming other Natures in newly emerging solar systems, having acquired franchise rights for that purpose.

Third option: God actually exists, and despite what our religions teach, they are His creation, not us. We are just another animal this His chosen people have dominion over.
