Subject: RE: BS: Why Newton was wrong - slightly
I tend not to bother to get back to chaps who talk total obscurantist bollocks. But I admire the way you use obscurantism to hide the fact that you know very little. Cle-ver...

An interesting thing I contemplated a while back was the idea that we could be the only "intelligent" beings in the universe. That being the case, the universe itself is intelligent but completely dependent on the intelligence of humans on Earth. If we are truly alone in the cosmos, then we alone are responsible for the increasing intelligence of the universe, and we have achieved that in just a few thousand years out of fourteen billion (or at least since 4004 BC).
