Here something must be said about the distinction between a thing believed in and a thing found to be true when there are tangled relations between the two. The Abrahamic supreme being appears to be nothing more than a projection of primitive humans, a unification of an earlier stage of their development where they attributed anthropomorphic personalities to a variety of animate and inanimate elements of their environments. <br/><br/>

In 1 above I conflated ETSI and the god of Abraham. It is unlikely that this would be done with an actual ETSI and that is the expected resolution based on the reasoning above. Of course there are some people who are simply impervious to facts in maintaining a belief systems and for them even contact with ETSI in another universe will not shake their convinctions much as must have been the case when those systems emerged from the mentioned predecessors. The difference is the time scale at which events will unfold, within a human lifetime as opposed to over many.
