I was not playing a word game. I simply used the exercise to prove to double D that even though he claimed to be an athiest he failed to come to the proper athiest conclusion that (based on present proven scientific knowledge based on the standards of anthropology)humans are the highest form of life in the universe. This is a form of egoism. Double D instead used faith to help him believe unproven scietific theory about life on other planets. This is a form of idolitry.

I am a Christian who wanted to show an athiest that everyone has a subject of worship. No one is a passive observer. We all make a choice. I think I know what Neo felt like when he first defeated an agent.-MM

Except that I don't think that it's the "proper atheist conclusion". My "atheist conclusion" is that there is insufficient scientific knowledge to determine whether humans are the highest form of life in the universe. I do not assert that there exist life on planets other than Earth (much less "higher" life forms) but I also have no evidence to assert that such life does not exist -- does my refusal to make a conclusive statement due to insufficient evidence make me an "egoist"?
