If we ever make it to outer space, we are going to absolutely dominate them. Like sapient bacteria. Comparatively it's like a species that is born, is fully grown and educated an hour later, and dies before nightfall of the same day, having produced a newer, more advanced generation. We evolve into new species over a week's time, and go from the wheel to airplanes in an afternoon. Again: no wonder they are scared. Add to the already-frightening mix a G-unit... and you're looking universal extinction in the eye. We're weaponized smallpox, we are replicating nanomachines; we're the dreaded superbug. We are air-borne Ebola. Earth is the shattered petrie dish... the broken test tube. Are the Creators really a metaphor for research into biological weapons?
