It is!

A great parody pic. :-)

Pinging the list.....

The Cygnus Bubble is a temporary name for a nearly perfectly spherical planetary nebula found in the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) within the constellation of Cygnus. It has yet to be given an official designation by the International Astronomical Union.

It was discovered independently by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich and professional Mel Helm in 2008.

Its near perfect symmetry has led it to be considered a possible candidate for a Dyson sphere constructed around a star by an advanced civilization.

An important aspect of the design of any interstellar propulsion system involves taking full advantage of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. Theory and experiment have both clearly demonstrated that as things having mass such as people, particles, and starships approach the speed of light (c), time slows down for them as compared to those not moving so rapidly. The extent of the time slowdown depends on how close one approaches c, the speed of light. For example a one-way trip of thirty-seven years (the distance to Zeta 1 or 2 Reticuli) at 99.9 percent c would take only twenty months’ crew time; at 99.99 percent c it would take only six months’ crew time. Thus even a trip to a distant galaxy such as Andromeda, two million light-years away, would take under sixty years’ crew time if the intergalactic ship somehow could manage to keep accelerating at one G, using some yet unknown technique.

Considering that there are stars in our local neighborhood that are billions of years older than the sun, it would not be surprising if interstellar travel has been commonplace for billions of years. Several published papers have concluded that our Milky Way galaxy already has been colonized. Furthermore, it must be noted that travel between star systems is more likely to occur the closer the next system is. Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli are both sunlike stars that are less than three light-weeks apart. Observers on a planet around one of them could easily observe planets around the other. One would certainly expect interstellar travel to develop earlier there than in our isolated corner of the neighborhood, where the nearest star to us is one hundred times farther away than the Zeta Reticulans are from each other.

I don’t KNOW that the DNA thing on those scores is fact per se.

I understood that Noah AND wife WERE pure.

IIRC, it came from root word studies of the scriptures concerned . . . perhaps some other additional linguistic analysis as well.

I don’t believe that if it has any valididty that only Noah and not his wife were DNA pure. I agree with you that THAT would make no sense.

It is PLAUSIBLE that satan wanted to pollute Christ’s ancestry on those scores. Doesn’t wreck my theology if it’s true or not true.

Not if you can see through it.

Guilty! (of being an alien)

I BET they do!

Thank you.

Waiting for more information...

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that the world is under attack from another dimension... Can you expand on that view...

[TheOldLady]

A Type 1 Dyson sphere, or one beimg assembled, could be transparent.

Briefly, the anecdotal accounts I refer to are those in which people who, after initially believing they are being abducted by aliens, conclude that they are being abducted and studied by beings from another dimension.

Usually this change of opinion occurs because they realize that they are being spiritually, physically, and sexually abused AND that the abusers have a distinctly evil character.

John Mack has written and spoken at length as has Bud Hopkins as to the actual accounts though I don't believe either of those two has drawn any conclusion as to what is happening or whether it is imagined or real.

John Mack's accounts (from interviews) cover the abusive nature of the abductions (though Mack himself never seems to suggest anything "biblical" about them).

Finally, the Book of Enoch (1st Book, Ethiopian) provides a backdrop as does Ephesians 6:12...

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

Maybe in socialist/green/brain-dead/metrosexual Europe. But not here in the US.

Thanks for the ping LVD. Quite strange.
