Is there anyone with two brain cells left, apart from die hard libertarians, who supports the idea of private policing and armies? I mean it boggles my mind it really does. So corporations are buying governments. The solution? Remove the goverments! WTF?

MAFIA shill:
- I think that G.O.D. is fully entitled to receive the fruits of His work! And surely his product is way superior to any cheap derivatives! I mean, look at "insert name of hot celebrity here"!

Anti-MAFIA dude:
- G.O.D. should do well to promote his products without the help of the corporations! That is why He is starving - have you seen the contracts? Go indie, G.O.D. !

Anonymous coward (agent from the North Korean propaganda center):
- G.O.D. does not exists! This is a plot of the imperialists to destroy our perfect society!

Anonymous coward (die-hard right-wing):
- The case with G.O.D. is going to be used by the government to enact more control and further slide us into Communism!

(former) Atheists:
- I did not believe in G.O.D. But now that He has manifested Himself through His lawyers I find the situation outrageous! We find Him destitute; His work stolen by pirates! I ask: where are all those "religious" leaders now! They claimed for thousands of years that they they were doing His work and they could not protect the dearest possessions of every intelligent being - His Intellectual Property?! Ridiculous! I demand that all due compensations as defined by the lawyers be paid by all religious organizations in the world!

Religious organizations:
- Holy shit!

Since when science says that intelligence cannot induce evolution? I don't think any scientist would be surprised as you suggested. God-like intelligence will certainly be aware of the laws of nature and be able to create whatever....the issues with the God hypothesis lie elsewhere. Who is the evolutionist who says that "intelligence did it" is not a hypothesis to be considered? Of course it is - this is where Darwin (and the ones before him) started. "Argument of design" rings a bell? It used to be called proof, not argument, that should tell you a great deal. The important thing is that evolution offers simpler explanation, supported by facts and does not require meddling intelligence, thus avoiding the other issues of introducing creator with a capital "c". Besides, the whole history of the universe is a story of complexity bred from simplicity (few forces, matter/energy) and time. Life is no exception. No surprises, really..

Anyway, soon we will see Ridley Scott's view on this issue. As far as I understood Prometheus is exactly about intelligence meddling with biology/evolution.

Well done, you beat me to it! But why you are not modded up is a mystery....

Economic stick? I think the stick has slightly different nature [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures]

Better judgment of risks would be nice too. Actually, this one kind of falls under anti-irrational-fear anyway...

The Zeitgeist guys also claimed that the gene for intelligence has almost insignificant impact and can be compensated by more engaging environment. There is wisdom in that phrase "Still exercising all muscles except the important one?" in that you can and should exercise the mind, preferably always. Can't remember where it was from.....the Matrix?

And end up with majority libertarians? [in J.E.J. voice] Noooooo!!!

Joke aside, every libertarian I know is a clever person. I still think their idea won't work though.

US and UK are mostly protestant, right? So is the Netherlands. Do I need say more...it's about culture, no so much about religion. Though I certainly think that from all popular religions Christianity has it very wrong when it comes to sexuality....

You mean it did not work for a man whose genes can be found in 8% of the population of Asia? What exactly did not work for him?

BTW, it is said that only during the days of the Mongol empire a virgin could walk all the way alone from the one end of the empire to the other and remain a virgin. I'd say this guy left his mark in the world, no?

Easy. Enjoy life, enjoy all those little pleasures that are either immoral or you get fat/sick from them. Drop dead before the onset of senility. QED.

Every single male from my extended family during the last 2 generations has dropped dead from heart attack/stroke way before they turned into barely moving lump of protein requiring 3 nurses, 2 iPads and a mobile toilet to "live". Me, with my pack a cigarets a day - I am expecting the same fate. Long life is not as nice as people think...so no, I have covered that angle (ergo, no need for children to take care of me).

If am wrong, I've covered that angle too - as a scientist and a person with enormous interest in all kinds of subjects I keep my mind very busy, so no senility for me. Thus, when the body really starts giving up but the mind is still clear...well, meet my little friend - 2L bottle with compressed nitrogen and a face mask. You cannot fire me, I quit! (bonus: no (grand) children will be hurt by my action).

Rationality - can't beat it! So join it!
