can you say 'breeding stock'? at least with 120,000 people there's enough of a genepool to make sure that the race doens't turn into a race of
stumpy, warty greedy , selfish people..... Hang on we're that already , apart from me NOT being warty and stumpy.... or greedy or selfish. I am a
matyr to niceness....
Besides therea apparently 'billions' of humans out in space so the 120,000 is enough people to carry on the culture of Earth.. But surely they can
catch our TV waves as they float though space. thats all the culture this world is made of anyways..
If the 'aliens' are concerned about us , surely in the 4 odd years before the 'event' happens , can't they evacuate the whole world to a safe
location? they apparently have enough ship's and enough time to do it? Or do they feel that the 'evilness' (for lack of a better word) that we
Earth humans have may spread to the rest of the human cultures out in space?
So its better to evac the 'not so evil' and leave the rest to whatever fates the 'Gods' have decided?.
