"Imagine that you are Captain Jean Luc Picard standing in front of Q at Farpoint Station, and humanity is being put on trial. (Except you are helping to explain why Western civilization should not be destroyed.)"


Thank you for this opportunity Chaol.

In front of a "Q", the destruction of "Western civilization" is unnecessary. A being of infinite, unrestricted and intelligent power could change the minds of all men over time (or instantly) before the need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
