That's because answers are just more reality, and people get a belly full of that every day.

What they want to hear is "dreams"...and they'll pay good money for that.

Actually there is an alien stranded with a broken spaceship on a moon orbiting Jupiter. Earth and mankind is just a message to said alien....the parts are on the way is the general gist of what the message is.

I suppose that the likes of P. T. Barnum and H. L. Mencken have answered that query in a more concise manner than I am capable of.

I read a story like that once. There was some bit of message delivery technology that that was on a mission but had trouble and got stranded on a primitive planet. But it had the ability to take the dumb bird critters that were there and genetically engineer them into a flock that (over time) built the industry to build a spaceship so the message could get through.

I have no idea how it all really started or why we're here. I guess it's only human to wonder and that's fine. It's when we start fighting over which theory is more correct and killing to prove the point......................

Must have been left to its own devices fairly recently then, as we are still here. ;)



As in "I have no clue why I accidentally hit the caps lock instead of shift key"? :D



It is much easier to focus on others misfortunes than it is on ones own. The same reason psychiatrists have such a high suicide rate.



It was just a misunderstanding long ago when someone was asked to "execute the theory"
