Very well, let me move on with Shermer's Last Law. Shermer's Last Law Any sufficiently advanced extraterrestrial intelligence is indistinguishable from GodIf such a mind or minds does present itself (if ever) unto us, I say we lead with politeness, because we might have a chance at learning useful stuff and what are going to do, sue him, her, it? To quote Jack Handey:If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

What Richard Dawkins actually said was that he can't prove God doesn't exist, he also said he can't prove there isn't a china teapot in orbit around the planet Uranus. And Richard Dawkins not only wrote The Selfish Gene he also wrote The God Delusion and I strongly recommend you read both, they're both absolute masterpieces, two of the best books I've ever read.
