When does the son of Captain Christopher go on his Saturn mission?

The ST reference reminds me of that joke, went something like this.

"How come there are no Muslims in the 'Star Trek' TV series?".
"Because it's the 23rd Century after WWIII and the Middle East was turned to glass."

But congratulations to the U.A.E. for their achievements.

He now will be the commanding director of how Bitcoin is run, even the top ppl of bitcoin know that a Billion dollars of buying power just dropped into their lap and they will Not screw with someone who can say “no, bitcoin is dead, use topcoin (made up name) instead, I am backing it.”

Bingo, in an instant he will have the whole blockchain coin market swing to his “coin.

As another example , if you drop 7 Billion into a new political party and use the Lot for running and backing Only Conservative people, you have just ended the GOPe as the Dems power brokers with their dollars know the GOPe is dead in the water at that point.

And 7 Billion fully funded Party kills off the old and Puts the New at the Top of the tree.

;-)

Blessings

Intelligent life on Mars? Maybe. Intelligent life on Earth? No way.

But I DO believe the message in the bible about our world, the spiritual realm, is a heck of a lot more fascinating than the tiny “angels and shepherds” idea in most people’s minds.

Throughout the bulk of known prehistory going back 20,000 years or more, the emphasis has always been on what we call spirituality, but not on ‘religion’ as we call various theologies today. In fact, a case can be made that in was the Dark Ages that saw the rise of organized religion and the lessening of spirituality.

That trend accelerated up until fairly recently and now seems to have leveled off somewhat; along with that leveling, we’ve seen the beginnings of the rise of spirituality and away from organized religion.

The early Christian Church had little to do with any formal church; it wasn’t until the First Council of Nicaea in 325AD that organized religion took over the Christian movement.

Today many deride “pagans” as barbaric and savage. But the opposite is more true than false. All, all of the thousands of stone monuments built around the world have one thing in common: they are built on fault lines. There is a unique an demonstrable effect that happens when people are close to these stones (this has also been demonstrated in the lab): piezoelectric charges - a sort of faint blueish light to the eye, causes hallucinations which always intersect with the realm of spirituality (some will laugh here, but it is a real effect) and the entities that inhabit it - call them what you will - angels, spirit guides etc.

All our present day religious philosophical underpinnings descend in whole or in part from these early human experiences stretching back 10s of thousands of years - now lost in our modern disconnect from nature and its forces.

I’m still looking, but I’ve not found a scripture to kill that idea.

Matthew 24:21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again.

The last line of this verse has always led me to believe that there are no other planets with humans or any free will life forms, because they would come to the same fallen state that we are in.

Biblically it’s pretty clear that earth is the only place God created for life to exist.

At the core, Jesus Christ came to earth as a man to pay through his death and resurrection the price for our (mankind) sins.

It was clear that his substitutionary sacrifice was done only once and was enough to pay the price. It doesn’t make sense for God to create life on other planets that his son’s sacrifice didn’t cover.

Musk is worth $192 billion, losing $1.5 billion is just cost of doing business. But I always have an issue with a currency that isn’t backed by nuclear weapons.
