If we ever do find an ETI, it will be as though a million-year-old Homo erectus were dropped into the 21st century, given a computer and cell phone and instructed to communicate with us. The ETI would be to us as we would be to this early hominid--godlike.

Bad analogy -- the ETI would be more like the Wizard of Oz to the tinman: he never did give the tinman anything that he didn't already have ("never mind the man behind those curtains"). Technology is master over what already is. Technology cannot create. And it's still "garbage-in, garbage-out" -- bound to be overturned when better garbage becomes available. Nothing pure, nothing pristine, nothing perfect, nothing at all like God, who creates from nothing.

And if God is all and all is God, then God is part of the problem; I cannot accept that, either.

What do you accept in that regard?
