text: . \nLife abounds throughout the galaxy and we presume as well throughout the universe. Some of it has achieved sentience and several have evolved enough to establish viable breeding populations off their home worlds to ensure species survival in the face of a disaster. Earth, we are afraid, may not make the commitment necessary to accomplish this important step in species evolution and may doom itself to eventual extinction.  Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species.  Your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you and neither does your penchant to breed beyond your planet's ability to sustain you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.
