To those that think our understanding of God is from Aliens...you may be right. Conspiracy?

Very interesting clip I found and some information about Star Trek in general...


Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, was a staunch atheist. In fact Brannon Braga, a writer for TNG said in a�speech:

"He[Roddenberry], himself, was a secular humanist and made it well-known to writers of STAR TREK and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION that religion and superstition and mystical thinking were not to be part of his universe. On Roddenberry’s future Earth, everyone is an atheist. And that world is the better for it."

And What did Roddenberry say himself?

"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will -- and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain."



Just something to think about...�

TL;DR: Should we violate the prime directive and tell these remote people the truth or should we allow them to go down the path of their own religion and possibly think of Picard as a God.

Just a different perspective.
A lot of people believe in the Annunaki and that sort of thing... I don't subscribe to any of it...I just found that understanding of StarTrek as an atheist franchise and their portrayal of religion to be pretty funny if not at least interesting.

This idea (from the vid) is a good one though. Reminds me of the Intelligent Design episode in Futurama where the machines evolved to such an advanced point and at such a rapid pace they didn't even accept that the Professor was their creator.
