Christmas Eve 2011
In our universe there exist an almost infinity of planets. Since I have a mathematical background I know that simple math tells me that during the past 13.75 billion years since the Big Bang, more than a billion Earth-like, life-bearing planets with intelligent creatures have come into existence.
The question of course is, why haven't we been contacted by them? Ignoring for a moment the problem of distance, the answer is: Muslims.
I was thinking earlier today that if we are ever to make contact with alien life it will only happen during Christmas. At any other time visitors from the Planet Zanubia coming here will encounter only ill will, chaos, and gloom.
This season we hear songs of peace and hope and we see people of all faiths wishing each other joy and good will. But there is no Christmas in a Muslim world.
If I were from another world, a world advanced beyond imagination, I would postpone contacting Earth while Muslims still inhabit the planet. Why would any intelligent, advanced civilization want to make contact with a world like ours that suffers an ignorant, savage, primitive, violent, barbaric, and cruel cult like Islam as we do?
In the meanwhile, I wish my readers joy and goodwill despite the perilous times we live in.
