@keikomushi Bioware rarely disappoint. It's great to see a company that cares about story! Mass Effect is one of the best games I've played.

@keikomushi Don't think there's a multiplayer unfortunately, except maybe online. I prefer discs as well, though. Just feels more immersive.

@keikomushi I can't believe I just admitted that. Major embarrassment. :)

@keikomushi What's worse is I often take pen & paper with me as well! I get some of my best writing ideas while I'm on the loo.

I've always had a lot of respect for Mr. Alda. A great actor & an interesting man. His science series was excellent. So are his biographies.

Great to see Andrew Denton back with another series of Elders. Hearing stories of people like Alan Alda in their own words is fascinating.

@keikomushi Is Dragon Age out already? I'll have to get a copy; looks great! Hope you enjoy it. Bioware's made some great games in the past.

@keikomushi I don't like taking a book near water but I do take crosswords with me sometimes. Audiobooks are great for the shower too.

@PriyaRaju @rsukumar I suspect most religions would adapt eventually but whether it'd change definition of intelligent life, I don't know.

@PriyaRaju @rsukumar That would make sense. I've heard people explain Neanderthals as Nephilim; could see something similar to explain ETs.

I remember how terrible it was when his wife Belinda died. That Rove came back & has handled himself with such grace says a lot about him.

In many ways I've grown up with Rove; he's been a part of my life each week for 10 years, bringing much laughter & joy.

Sad to see Rove come to an end tonight but I wish Rove & the team happiness & all the best in the future.

I'll have to do a post on this myself at some stage. It's fascinating.

Obviously all faiths would have questions to answer but I think Buddhism & similar philosophies would be quite well prepared.

More I think about it, I wonder if other religions would have the same issues with the existence of ETs.

@rsukumar But then animals are also made by God, so wouldn't Christians still have to ask the same question? Where ETs fit into God's plan?

@evatweets It really comes back to what constitutes a soul.But whether something truly alien is compatible with idea of a soul,I don't know

@evatweets I mean, ETs may have souls only God can see; but then, what is a soul? We'd have to make our own decision about where ETs fit in.

@evatweets Didn't think of that. :) Maybe true but religions would still have to reconcile it; we'd end up making our own choice about ETs.

@rsukumar True. Some people think aliens could represent fallen angels as well. I guess it depends on how people interpret the Bible.

@evatweets Also if something is alien, truly alien, could it have something recognisable to humans as a soul? It's an interesting thought.

@evatweets I guess it depends how you interpret the Bible. If Jesus died for the sins of mankind, can he carry the sins for aliens as well?

What do you think? Does the possibility of alien life conflict with religious philosophy? Curious to find out.
