Ted Koppel: Uh-huh.. alright. So, this whole killing yourself thing has really turned out to be a home run for you. Tell me, are there any regrets?

Marshall Applewhite: Yeahhh.. the castration thing.. I was way off on that one, Ted! It turns out it had nothing to do with anything. In fact, when we got here, everyone just looked at me like, “Applewhite, you nutball!”

Anyone here remember seeing Kohoutek? Me neither. The best thing about it was the song by Journey - it was a staple for those laser light shows they used to have at planetariums.

Kohoutek was a bust.

Halley was disappointing.

Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp were incredible.

There were a few other good ones recently that I can’t recall.

I have my fingers crossed for this one…

I didn’t see Kahoutek, but I did see Hale-Bopp.

It looked very cool.

“how did our planet end up with life?
Read Genesis Chapter 1”

So true, certainly not from a made up fairytale of two lost particles finding each in the vastness of space. I’m still waiting for big bang cultists to explain where the particles came from. And for that matter where did all the space come from.

IMO, the Big Bang was when Satan fell and the whole universe of which he was he was in charge turned dark.

IMO all that happened between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 (AKA the “Gap” theory which reconciles the HUGE difference between the age of man (about 6000 years) and the age of the earth (countless eons)).

Ummmm, in Rev 21 The Bible says

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
...
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
...
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

Check back with us when this Borg Cube of a spaceship shows up.

BTW, The Bible doesn't say it's a cube. It says it's 1,500 miles wide, 1,500 miles long, and 1,500 miles tall, with a surrounding wall 216 feet tall.

That could just as easily be a pyramid, couldn't it?

A 1973 Comet... My brother had one this colour... His graduation gift.

My dad bought it for my Mom, but she hated driving so he killed two birds with one stone, so to speak.
