Has Christianity kept us from exploring the galaxy?

[LarianLeQuella]

to be fair, the original mythology from which christian and muslim mythologies are derived originated during the bronze age. Hebrew writings from later than about 1200 bce would fall within the iron age.

qft.

alfalfafour's posting style sounds suspiciously like American's. I'm just sayin'.

Or perhaps he just totally copied it.

Maybe American copied mine. I have been posting on the internet since before 2001. I remember debating on financial boards before the towers fell in New York. I remember debating the choice of Bush over Gore. My ID wasn't always alpha alpha 4.

Heres a link to a very old post with a very old ID

I used to repair computer monitors.

I suppose this one would be my graduation from chat rooms:

I don't remember exactly, but I think it doubled in a buy out.

Sorry, wrong thread.

What a great segue. Somebody just suggested that it was a lack of faith in science that disrupted space travel. It seems that for some reason, science took a back seat to religion until Sir Francis Bacon published his treatise. They lacked faith in the old deductive reason, and waited for Bacon to come up with the inductive style to resume the work.

Is there an astronomer in the house?

Is the moon in Saggitarius? I am just taking a wild ass guess, but my indwelling spirit says I am right. Any believers in the house?

My wife passed in '04, but she "speaks" from the dead, and said I was right too. She confirmed the communication of Amy, my first indwelling. Are you going to call me a liar, or check the star charts first? I have no clue, and I am truthfully telling you what the spirits are saying. I don't like to lie.

If I am wrong, it will have a devastating effect on my "faith." My faith is belief and trust, and if I am wrong, I will not be able to "trust."

If they are wrong, and I am wrong, this will be the last time I mention it. The feelings are very strong. I have mentioned before that spirits lie. Amy is one who rarely has lied to me.

Edit:

Oops, they lied. 8 more days before the moon arrives in Sagittarius. That is actually pretty bad. I really trusted these signals. Almost as much as I trusted the god who never answered my prayers. At least I have my faith in science.
