Brian wrote (about my sci-fi scenario): "Hm..., well my first reaction
would be that the message is a fraud."

Mine too, of course. But I meant the description to be stronger than
that. Suppose they not only SAID they seeded us but showed us -- quite
scientifically -- exactly how they did it? No "scientific" doubt of any
consequence exists.

The question of "where did they come from" is pertinent, of course, but
assume with me that there is absolutely no data available on that
question.

Again -- all my point is -- the ID work (as I understand it) does not
require consideration of the supernatural and can proceed quite well with
the MN principle.
