I'm not assigning advanced cognitive function to a ball of hydrogen and helium. What's to stop me from saying my desk chair is sentient? (Though I do love lamp) I'm pretty open minded, and am fully aware that my own perception of reality is inherently flawed and limited. Doesn't mean I'd be okay with Mass Effect dropping all pretense of being scientific and going for straight new age mysticism

I take it you don't know what a star is?

Do you? 

Everyone knows stars are just holes poked in the sheet the gods drape over the sky at night.

Yes. It's basically a thermonuclear reactor.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace!

You guys remind me of the scientists guy from Starship troopers, that finds the notion of bugs having thoughts insulting. ))) you certainly behave the part.

A sentient star?

... I'm sorry, but that's magnificently retarded. Yes, we do know what stars are and how they work. Disney movies about talking candleholders are exactly as realistic as this idea.

Or maybe BioWare will make us a surprise and release Omega DLC.

Wednesday is the day my RvB boxset is supposed to arrive. It will be the best N7 day ever. Of all time.

So now that we've established the ancient peoples were correct about the sun being an angry god, any other long dead rites we should unearth? Who's up for a headbutting contest to honor Odin?

Worked on Doctro Who, along with others countless examples in science fiction.

Again, why an ocean can be sentient and alive, but an idea of a star being sentien is retarded?

Read some of the Lem's works. There is a particulary great story about a certain famous pilot visiting an unkown planet, finding a civilisation there, establishing a first contact - and as a honor he get's to sit in on a final exam in their space academy - and listens to studends proving that life cannot possibly exist on a certain planet (which turnes out to be earth).

They do make allusions in ME1 that anciant beliefs in gods turn out to be 100% correct. Very heavily in fact.

Wait, when did we establish oceans are sentient?

Although I have always wondered why I hear screaming when I mow the lawn

[demersel]

What do you think a god looks like?
