Most supported premises
A creator must exist
If there must be a first cause for existence, then any creator must also have a first cause, ad nauseam. The first cause is more likely the universe itself.

It is dangerous to be looking for aliens
Yes, it should definitely be made clearer. Simply 'looking' for aliens is great. Making contact with them is dangerous.

There is no justification for war
Should one accept being slaughtered or enslaved rather than wage war?

Everything in the universe is either a potato, or not a potato.
Sure it does. Even mathematics has things like that. Is ∞ a number or not? In some cases yes, in some no. How about i, sqrt(-1)? You have to be very precise about your context or you get an incorrect answer.

Everything in the universe is either a potato, or not a potato.
Of course you can, but it doesn't make the answer *true*. If what you say is true, we'd have successfully developed AI in the 50s-60s. Modern machine learning algorithms don't use classical logic. They use math: neural networks, statistics, linear optimization.

Everything in the universe is either a potato, or not a potato.
But not as *all* people understand it. Only the majority, so your conclusion wouldn't be true for all people.

Everything in the universe is either a potato, or not a potato.
It certainly can when the universe you speak of contains things that are 'neither A nor not-A' or 'both A and not-A'. Our real universe contains lots of those things.

Race does not exist.
As a scientific construct, the concept of race is certainly problematic because it is poorly defined. However, as a social construct (somewhat like money), the concept of race does exist, and it is very real in its consequences.

I'm not obligated to work for our society, since no one asked me to be a part of it as i was born.
Perhaps, but you may be obligated to work for your survival. Society, after all, doesn't guarantee you that.

It is dangerous to be looking for aliens
If there are multiple alien species, then while some alien may be benevolent, there are bound to be those that are malevolent.
