[ExI] The Record for the Farthest Galaxy just got Broken Again

In a universe billions of years old, the odds that two species, chosen at
random, are within one million years of each other, are very very small.

The overwhelming majority of species will either be more than a million
years behind us, or more that a million years ahead of us.

If we're a million years ahead of them, they're still in their trees.

If they're a million years ahead of us, we're running as a screensaver on
their desktops.

If you want to find the aliens, find the oldest, best authenticated
religious traditions referring to a unified creator of the entire universe
that you can find, and inquire within.
