And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

I haven't seen any scriptures prohibiting the exploration of space or the planets. In fact, such exploration has contributed greatly to "subduing" this planet in less damaging ways.

And guess what, Perseverance is going to launch a helicopter!

I apologize if you are a believer, but I wrote what I did because of what you wrote. You said;
What happens to the human gene pool if we blow ourselves up, or a several mile-wide asteroid hits the earth?

Having a colony on Mars doubles the chance for the survival of the human genome in case of the above.
So if you are a believer, then why would you make a silly statement about colonizing Mars when we destroy this planet? God tells us in that once Christ returns he will destroy this planet, it's over. Or haven't you Read 2 Peter 3:10?

We also know that other than the end of time. He promises to never destroy the earth again. So we will not be needing to colonize Mars. The end will come long before we ever can reach it with a man to even touch it.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10

I have nothing against exploring space and other planets, but to believe that humans will thrive on any rock out there is just ludicrous.

Besides, we will never ever be able to. We can’t fix our problems down here, and as I said, our evil ways will be the reason Christ returns long before we ever have the capability to successfully send a few humans to Mars. Let alone enough to colonize it.

I personally believe we should be using our talent to create colonies underwater, but even that is stupid.

As of right now we can put the entire planet’s population comfortable in Texas. If we all want a big yard, we can put all the people in the Midwestern states and cultivate the rest of the World for food.

We are so far from needing to populate another planet that it is ridiculous to even consider it. If we cannot get along enough to make it here, we will never make it on another planet.

If you are a Christian, then you should know that. God does, and that is why He told us how it will end for us here. From the looks of things, it will not be long.

I speak straight truth, I do not hide it. God wants us to be honest with each other. When we speak out of line, well God corrects us.

Maybe you should consider the idea that God sent me to your comment so He could tell you through me what you really need to hear. No one liked the Prophets, because they spoke truth. Now I do not claim to be a prophet, but I am a man of conviction who knows the Scriptures, and I speak them as I am led to. And that is the truth.

God bless you brother, and again I apologize for calling you an atheist, but now you know why I did.

Chuck
