What if a galactic civilization already exists? When will they invite Ea...

If there is a galactic civilization, the ability to travel at "warp speed" is not the criterion. Once contact is made, schools can be set up on Earth or our best and brightest can travel to existing schools. The science and engineering will already exist and the planet will benefit from it.

So, what's the holdup? We are not a civilized species. Eating meat might be a thing, but a bigger thing is that we, as individuals and collectively, believe in sin and the need to punish it. In other words, we are not housebroken. The kind of freedom of choice we have - the freedom to judge the choices of others - needs to be abandoned. If it is not, Earth will continue to be a backwater.

The necessary science for mankind to move forward is social science. The galaxy has the rest of it covered. Rumor has it that they also have a more open dialogue with the Creator, so atheism is not the answer either. Sorry, Dawkins - but you are helping hold things up.

The Eagles move back to the top 10.

Philly now has ten wins and eight losses in championship games (including conference and old league trophies). This ties them with Washington. They are also tied for ninth for total championship appearances, with 18. This tie includes Washington, Kansas City, and Denver. 

The highest Philly has been is number three in the 1949, 1950 and 1951 era - behind Chicago and Green Bay. Kansas City is 12 and 6, putting them sixth on the GOAT list.  In 1969 they were third. There is a reason the AFC trophy is named for Lamar Hunt, 

The Commanders had a long stint at number 3 in the early part of the millennium. Something tells me that they were left hungry this year (had they not played, they would have been 10 and 7, ranking lower in total appearances but better in trophy standings). The Rams and Bills also have something to prove, with the latter having quite a slog ahead of them to get into the top 10. (The Rams were #10 in 2021).

The game callers noted that only Green Bay has three straight championships. Actually, if you look at trophies - they have five straight (3 NFL, 2 Super Bowl). So do the Chiefs. If they had won, they would have had six in a three year period.

These GOATS are old.
