I don't know how you came up with this 'truth'. Maybe you should re-read my post.

Kooks of a feather and all that I guess.

Yea, you have regularly put us in the same basket to make your case. And, please don't hack the poster list.

Really?

Hello Michael,
'Extremely' may not be quantified, how to you quantify it? Do we 'know'?

I don't have to quantify anything. I'm not the one claiming humans are ignorant.

You did question it.

I'd like to see Little Tommy quantify the "totality of understanding" that he claims we are nowhere near achieving. How does he know we aren't far closer to achieving that "totality" than we are to the total ignorance of our origins? What benchmark is he using for measurement? Is he comparing us to his imaginary alien saviors? I wouldn't be surprised.

I see, this is about Thomas' beliefs instead of our understanding.

a claim that is trivially supported by the evidence

What evidence would that be...

I can't speak for Thomas,

Then don't.

Hmmm. So you snip my post and imply I'm speaking for Thomas. Simpler that way I suppose.
