Anti matter that they produce in the colliders is a nice energy for interstellar travel...
An yes it's very important we get off of earth,, if we don't we could die here by natural means or of our own, we are known as a class zero civilization
Genesis 11:3-4 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. |
Ecclesiastes 1:9 9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. |
Ok.
I'm not sure this is the reason they built the Tower of Babel. After the Flood had subsided, God said He would never flood the Earth again.
In over 50 years of human space flight only 537 people (as of 9/26/2013) have traveled into outer space. Of those 537 people only 24 have left low Earth orbit. That doesn't sound like much of a rush to me.
What makes you think they believed what God said?
Don't confuse a lack of technical ability with a lack of urgency.In over 50 years of human space flight only 537 people (as of 9/26/2013) have traveled into outer space. Of those 537 people only 24 have left low Earth orbit. That doesn't sound like much of a rush to me.
I didn't say they believed him or not. But God did say He would never flood the Earth again.
And this is why God scattered them. It was their disobedient hearts and not the fact they were building a tower that God scattered them. Is God telling mankind today NOT to travel into outer space? I simply do not see the connection between the Tower of Babel and space travel today.
Urgency doesn't matter if there is no technical ability. I'm sure you know that no one has been to the Moon since 1972. And I have my doubts if mankind will go to Mars in my lifetime.
Since they were actively disobeying God, why would they believe God would keep His Word about not flooding the Earth again?
Genesis 11:5-7 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. |
Revelation 8:7-11 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. |
So you believe that every single person thought God was lying to them about never flooding the Earth again?
Enough of them believed it to build the tower.
If you say so.
I believe that the attempt to travel into outer space is has the same motivation as the attempt to build the tower of Babel.
Ok.
Yes, I say so.
Ok. Thank you for answering my question. I happen to disagree.
:e4e:Yes, I say so.
