    Sun worship is considered the most primitive of religions, and yet that’s where everything comes from. Everything. From food to heat to energy. Even fossil fuels is captured sunlight from the past, and radioactive material for nuclear power is from ancient supernovae. Everything. All praise the Sun!

        Correct. Which is a supporting argument that life and intelligence might be a new thing in the universe, that it took a few billion years to just get through a few cycles of birth and death of stars to create the heavier elements needed. We could be one of the first examples.

        Doesn’t rule out the Great Filter as still a thing, new life that expands too quickly and uses up resources can still kill itself in the process.
