Atheists are as arrogant as Theists in that they are convinced what they say is correct with no room for argument. Atheists cite lack of proof as proof itself, Theists cite lack of proof as a deliberate action on the part of what they believe (thus faith). Agnostics recognise that no one is omniscient; the lack of proof of something can merely be that this proof hasn't been discovered yet and they are willing to accept that it may be forthcoming. See Higg's boson.

The fact that you recognised both sci-fi references is also of note.

I find that the more we learn about Saturn's rings (and is thus applicable to all planets with rings and shepherd moons) the greater the fascination that such structures aren't just a bunch of small rocks orbiting a planet but have behaviour that is of interest to chaos and complexity mathematicians that can only lead to greater understanding of the dynamics of such systems.

(Is this the kind of comment you were hoping for?)

Maybe something wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey about insects not living very long in the first place so there's no point using all that energy sending them back in time to live to death. Or it's a sentience thing.

Either way, I most certainly can kill a stone. I can smash it to bits with a hammer. Maybe even a *rock* hammer. I don't see anything coming back to life after it has been shattered into tiny pieces apart from a T1000 / Crichton and Aeryn.
