11. “First Cause”

14. an illustration • Two alien critters, Bob & Eddie, are allowed to visit Earth, but Bob can only visit several minutes each year… Eddie can remain. • They gather as much data as they can for 100 Earth years. • We’ll look specifically at their data on our automobiles. • First their facts, then their conclusions…

15. thefacts • “As to their methods of transportation we observed that, early on, the humans would get about with four-wheeled vehicles drawn by four-footed creatures.

16. After just a couple more Earth-years passed, we noticed a dramatic change: The earlier four-footed creatures were no longer present, yet the vehicles still moved…

17. These new moving creatures which moved by themselves were more noisy contraptions - and even more foul-smelling…

18. As years passed, the vehicles’ structures maintained a similar basic form but nevertheless changed gradually in several other ways…

19. They became sleeker, less box-like… …and faster. Some had “tops” that could be removed…

20. ...some were just awesome!

21. A few were there for just a very brief time (mercifully!)

22. Although there were many more types as years went by, they began to look alike. The earliest species were not observed anywhere.

23. interpretations • Those were some of the facts that both Bob and Eddie observed and agreed to. But when they wrote up their report explaining what they saw, why they believe what happened happened, their interpretations took on adecidedlydifferentlook…

24. bob’s report The early, simple vehicles with the hairy, four-footed pullers were probably victims of some severe environmental trauma and died out. Only the most fit mutations of the time must have survived, and those were apparently the ones without the bulky, inefficient critter attachment…

25. After that quick and dramatic change came the long, slooooow processes in which the vehicles changed slowly over many generations, evolving, through random mutations, the traits that made them even stronger and better able to survive….

26. Traits that were not helping in their survival (fins, for example) were either lost entirely or resulted in that species’ extinction. The undesirables had been successfully and naturally weeded out so that....

27. …as a result of time, chance, mutations, and naturalselection, earthlings were left with the fast, efficient beasts they have now. It is now a matter of time for us to work out the details of how this all happened. XXXOOOXXX Bob

28. eddie’s report All the vehicles - from the early, critter-drawn version to the later, faster models - were of the same basic design…

29. They all had wheels; similar devices to help them change direction; a compartment to help transport the Humans; ways of seeing at night; similar ways of stopping; similar energy sources; similar waste products; and so on and so on;they all showed evidence of a common design.

30. I also had no evidence of one vehicle becoming another, no “in-between” vehicles; each vehicle was there in a fully functional way.

31. The facts and my experience in real life tell me the following: When I see a lot of objects, all similar, all complex, all ordered, all with immediate purpose and function, there has always been an Intelligent Being behind it…

32. Conclusion: Some Intelligent Being - at the moment I suspect the humans - had designed and created the vehicles. The vehicles had changed over time, to be sure, but it was no accident. It is now a matter of time to work out how and why the humans may have done this. Eddie :)

33. Bob and Eddie agreed on the facts; they disagreed in each other’s interpretations of those facts…
