There's probably another version of you typing this into another version of CP somewhere a couple of billion light years away. The numbers add up so I would say it is definitely a possibility. The sheer size of the universe is so mind-boggling to me that I almost can't cope with it. Especially since we have a top speed of 3x10^8 m/s and that just doesn't get you anywhere fast in this universe. I am confused, has britney spears submitted a recent paper on cosmology? ;) Ad.

Exactemento! I think "-mento" is similar to "-ly" in English. Although my Spanish is very poor I remember something like this from Middle School.

I think that it's highly probable that an infinite number of monkey-like beings using an infinite number of keyboard-like tools in a parallel universe might closely resemble our Nish, but it's doubtful that they could match his post count on their CP-like forum.

David Wulff wrote: Thinking about it, religious folk always say God was not created on this world, so wouldn't that make it an alien? Because if he's tangible, like an alien, it means God isn't as great as pictured. And if you believe for a second that God isn't as great as the holy book tells you, you risk having your name removed from the book of life! Which means where you're going, you'll need a very good fire repellant. That's why a true Christian won't accept that God is an alien. God is the biggest thing there is. He surrounds everything, there is nothing beyond him. You can't say he's there nor here, because he's everywhere. At least that's what I've gathered from what I've heard and read. Do I believe it? No. Can argue about it and win? No. Because you see, if God is all that, and you believe in it, there is nothing that can affect your belief. So by the logic of Christianity, you can derive that God is not an alien. So, to answer your question; He can't be an alien. :) -- Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld

Proving the non-existence of God, however, is next to impossible.

The need for a Creator makes the size of space irrelevant, and gives me no reason to believe in alien life. If it exists, fine, that will not change my views on God, but I simply don't believe in life on other planets, or the face of Elvis on the surface of Mars, or any similar theories.
