Heck, if you are in Oxford just go meet with Lennox in person, or go see a lecture.

Re: End of Days Question
This thread isn't about that though, it is about whether space travel would nullify the possibility of the end of days. Whether the book is true or not doesn't effect what I said.BryanH wrote:First of all you have to prove that the people who wrote about the end of days actually spoke to God and that of course implies proving that a God exists (something that I don't doubt entirely) and that such a God actually talked to people.First you would have to provide evidence that the account of the End of Days really does just refer to Earth, the 3rd planet from the sun
It's easy to say that God told me this and that. The hard part is proving that they are legit.

Re: End of Days Question
Space travel wouldn't stop the End of Days. It's something that will affect our solar system entirely, and the Universe. There'll be no escape. I also doubt we will go anywhere but will instead stay on Earth. We have too many problems and silly quarrels with each other right now and can't even stop killing each other. Going to Mars would take massive amounts of money and resources, and I don't know if we are near that technology yet. We can send robots there, but humans? No, not yet. Maybe never if we continue on our destructive paths.Seraph wrote:This thread isn't about that though, it is about whether space travel would nullify the possibility of the end of days.

Re: End of Days Question
As I said before, there is no actual proof that relates to the end of days as being an universal event. It's just an interpretation.Space travel wouldn't stop the End of Days. It's something that will affect our solar system entirely, and the Universe. There'll be no escape. I also doubt we will go anywhere but will instead stay on Earth. We have too many problems and silly quarrels with each other right now and can't even stop killing each other. Going to Mars would take massive amounts of money and resources, and I don't know if we are near that technology yet. We can send robots there, but humans? No, not yet. Maybe never if we continue on our destructive paths.
Actually there is already a project in motion to send people to Mars and start a colony there. First send some ships with the supplies and then send the people. The time they have anticipated is that by 2023 the first humans will have landed on Mars. The bad news is that they can't come back:))Going to Mars would take massive amounts of money and resources, and I don't know if we are near that technology yet. We can send robots there, but humans?
