Heres a thought I found interesting: Due to light moving so slowly, Aliens could watch earth forming through a telescope. And we could watch their planet forming. And both of our species could exist at the same time, go extinct and we'd never know of each other. Or, for a more happy ending - at least one of either species could develop FTL/Instant travel technology and we could visit to each others homeworld and watch our own homeworld take shape. Kind of a intergalactic cinema.

@@Anicius_ Science gave us ability to construct weapons that will destroy humanity. Carl Sagan and other scientists have mentioned that the reason we haven't seen advanced civilization is because they become so advance, they kill themselves. Russia, China and USA and others have doomed humanity. Who did it...I can assure you, it was not a Rabbi, an Imam, a Priest or a religious reading out of some holy books but educated and secularly inclined scientists who doomed us. As much as religion can easily be used as a scapegoat, it can also be argued religion kept humanity safe by keep us away from deadly scientific knowledge to kill ourselves. From biological warfare, to weapons of mass destruction, to planetary systems hijacking such as weather, no stone is unturned during scientific research to satisfy our hate for each other. Science is leading the way to humanity's destruction. I rather have science dead than humanity dead. It's harms out weigh the benefits it offers.

@@zhg4485 Hello dood. I am an electrical engineer by education and software engineer by profession. In my faith, we are taught that science is twin sister of religion. I am not against scientific research and development. It is only in the West that we noticed, religion and science are opponents. It is an alien idea to us. Church hasn't helped the matters either. We are taught that creation has been made subservient to humanity. And that we should question, research, discover, and invent not to dismiss God but to understand how Powerful He is. In the West, it is the opposite. Somehow new discoveries disapprove God. That baffles our minds. Did some scientist create atom? Did some scientist create black hole? Did some scientist create human beings? Did some man create Mars or cosmos or ordered Big Bang? No, we only discover what is already is there. In our faith, science helps validate our religion and brings us closer to God. In our view, there is no irony as God is not bounded by what we know such as scientific and mathematical models of reality, physics, matter, gravity, time, etc. but it is us who are bounded and limited by all measures. We also have to realize the irony of you typing on a device, internet technology, etc. that was made possible by the intellect planted in us to begin with, so we may discover and invent. The first instruction or commandment in our faith is, "Read! Read in the name of thy Lord who created; He created the human being from blood clot. Read! in the name of thy Lord who taught by the pen and taught the human being what he knew not!" I am not forcing my religion on you but sharing how we perceive things. Kind regards
