Professor Matthew Bailes said 'the history of weak civilisations contacting more advanced civilisations is not a happy one'

A week for God could be billions, and billions of years.

You make a very good point. I once watched a religious channel hosted by a Jewish Rabbi who was also a PHD physicist who tried to explain an expansion of time theory by using a rubber band.

In the beginning was the rubber band of time and as it was stretched out, so were the millenia of time between the the significant periods of time of God's creations.;.....

I'm ignorant of these things but that was the most significant explanation of the creation of mankind that I had ever watched........

Trust me so am I. I just keep trying to understand. I thank God everyday that He gave me the desire to do so.

The reason? The Prime Directive? We’re too stupid for them to pay attention to? We’re not good eating? Who knows. We have enough problems with liberals. And illegal aliens. We don’t need intergalactic ones too.

Didn't a NASA physicist conclude that the math works for a real time-space warp drive engine? All we need to do is build it and we can reach the stars in weeks.

" that mohamed, if he was visited by a being, as he claimed (he claimed it was the angel Gabriel), was visited by one of satan's demons "

No way was Mohammad influenced by real angels. Just check out his teachings. Must be demonic.

But, even Mohammad says that he was for a time possessed by Satan, right? When he wrote the Satanic verses.
