It has ceased to amaze me that so many people seem to think that knowledge of the universe is complete.

The distances are so vast that thousands of (Earthling) lifetimes pass between the sending of a message and its receipt and decoding and thousands more before a reply arrives. The first wireless transmissions have only traveled about 100 light years, a tiny fraction of the size of our own galaxy let alone to the next nearest.

There has also never been one verified case of a new “species” that has “evolved.” Why can we not find that too?Look at African and Indian Elephants, Mammoths and a number of varieties of Mastodon. They undoubtedly had a common ancestor, put here by God as part of His creation.

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”Except live long enough to make the trip.

Except live long enough to make the trip.I think that was the mission for the X-37b. It's my opinion that that spacecraft was used to test stasis in zero-G.

It’s always been that way - at any and every point in history, many people have thought that everything was ‘settled’.
On the upside, there have always been brilliant individuals who have wandered out-of-line and insisted that very little is ‘settled’ at all; and that the notion of ‘settled’ is antithetical to Science itself.

God doesn’t ‘waste space’ - His imagination is too big for such waste.
In recent years, we’ve even found Life inhabiting water so hot on Earth that we had thought no Life could survive in it. It’s probably true of the frozen ‘deserts’, as well.
There are things of enormous portent yet to be discovered.
