foolishly assigning the designed object created the role of dictating to the creator the role/purpose of the object created/designed.
Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Seriously though, you claimed that science didn't study the possible "existence of higher intelligence in the universe than that of earth humans". I pointed out that it does.

Ok. Consider Matthew 24:29-34; have the stars fallen out of the sky and a simultaneous lunar and solar eclipse occurred in the span of the generation to which the prophecy was delivered? No.
Hypothesis: This god claimed will fulfill these prophecies cannot be relied upon to actually do so. All experiments and observations in this vein have yielded results consistent with this hypothesis.

By the same token, how would you distinguist this from illusion? Why do you consider it likely that your particular p.o.v. most represents the truth?
What exactly do you mean by "this" in such a context? Your post? I have objective evidence that other people can see both of our posts, and that it doesn't occur completely within my own mind.

when encountered by the missionary, the wicca woman fell dead in the assembly of the tribe. After questioning the locals, it was determined that the woman was a couple of decades older than humans should live.
So a missionary kills a respected member of the tribe, and then that same person (who obviously has no ulterior motive) determines that this person was decades older than humans should live. So of course it totally wasn't their fault.
Or, the pressure or direct accusation of the missionary causes the tribe to suspect the woman of witchcraft, causing them to murder the woman. In order to avoid prosecution they blame is on the woman falling dead of her own accord.
How exactly do you get accurate dates on someone's age through what is almost certainly an oral history, assuming that they are tens of years older than anyone else could presumably be? What expert do they have to consider the body or assess the claims of the uneducated local tribe or the suspect missionaries?
Murders of women accused of witchcraft are common in places such as New Guinea. This story is at best simply a story, and at worst most likely an account of a murder.
