I wonder what makes people think there is other intelligent life forms elsewhere.

Amazing! No intelligent life forms could be found in such vastness. Yet we still think there will be some much farther travelling faster than speed of light to get here.

Yes, very creative. They could just beam over like James T Kirk.

Since it is also create by God, what is the purpose of your parallel dimension?

Xepz,
Think of the quantum leap as a learning curve. It is slow at the begining then it increases exponentially. Instead of looking at it as an individual person, look at it a global scale. It it learning curve of the society's population.

As for the Baalbek, the same can be said of the Pyrimids. I am incline to think that people were more advance during the unrecorded history days. They are smart enough to tamper with nature and paid the price. They got wipped out (ice age, whatever). Look us today. Are we not screwing up mother nature, too?

Long cut and paste requires no effort.
