Right Thinking From The Left Coast
"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Is There Intelligent Life On Earth?
by Hal_10000

This has got to be a self-parody, right? In arguing against Mars missions, Rob Hood says:

I have four year old kids in my church that could tell you where life originated. If people would bother to accept the fact that everything in existence is created by an omnipotent God then, we would not need to waste money searching for an answer that even small children already know.

Mars is a desert planet and perhaps there is ice and maybe even water there. So what? Who cares? It’s water! That doesn’t mean a thing. Life originated on Earth when God spoke it into existence and there is no need in wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money searching for an answer that is based upon faulty evolutionary ideas.

Of course, the Bible also claims that God only created the Earth.  No mention of other planets.  So maybe we should burn down my observatory, too, to make sure this never happens again.
