"You are trying to force a notion of human-friendly benevolence where it simply doesn't belong, and trying to rationalize the world-wrecking irresponsibility of the decision as some sort of "mysterious ways" that would somehow serve the greater good."

Wait, no, no I am not at all. You are attempting to simplify this whole trial to the point where everything has to have ONLY ONE plausible solution (all you have said was "you're wrong and I am right because my world view is correct"). Not everybody's ideals coincide with yours on a base level. I'm just here to tell you it is FAR, FAR more complicated than that, but anytime I give you a reason it could be another way, it always has to fall into how you believe your reality is.

"The only reason such notions endured is because people want to believe, whether it makes sense of not - precisely because the world sucks."

You are adding the monotheistic aspect ... I was just listing POSSIBILITIES based on the criteria listed in the thread. "The world sucks" for you, We get it, but you don't seem to understand that YOUR philosophy squarely falls into the rationale of cynicism rather than realism which I personally try to advocate. For example, for other people, the world is great as it is (and for this case, I am excluding people who use god as a crutch), and it's definitely possible to have this world view depending on your circumstances, status, environment, and myriad other factors because there are some positives that we can also focus on. There is a balance to everything.

Also, on the subject on the purpose of this experiment, do you honestly think a divine, enlightened, nigh omnipotent being who knows FAR more than all of us would give us powers for his entertainment? If anything, it would be motivated almost purely by facts and data probably on behalf of his own species or himself in such a way that we also experiment on lab mice, monkeys, etc. I guess a sentient lab mouse would think we are experimenting on it for our entertainment (especially if it had no information), but if you actually think about it from more than one perspective, we have a legitimate reason to conduct our experiments.

Galaxy Manipulation ... AGREED on EVERYTHING you said! However, I would like to add that in a world such as this, Enhance Power Replication is still broken just like Superior Adaptation. You are both potential Ajimu Najimi's with your case being even worse because you keep every power you replicated and enhanced. Preemptive Adaptation is more hax in the fact that you can pretty much never take it down ... ever. Both should NOT be legitimate for this thread and I will keep saying this.

"(remember at least millions are much smarter than you)"

... Oh, lord. Now that you say this, I see that millions of these people will have some type of Superpower Manipulation powers/time-space hax (that is not on the list of powers). I am switching with Planeswalking and almost any other power and getting the f*ck out. Even if my plan worked, I am only postponing the inevitable so you are completely right. It's really no use. Y'all explore with your powers, I am going to be exploring another more habitable worlds. :)
