cause in my mind, if he was making the earth for us, what is then the point in going on to make a universe that is literally millions upon millions of times bigger than we can ever possibly go to?
Thats an interesting subject, do you think the extreme form of christian evangelical religion in America has restricted their pursuit of space projects?
After all, we know that science and religion dont mix, I reckon if the states was atheist by majority we would have even further advanced technology than we do now.
PS, I only use the US as an example seeing as they are the largest, richest country in the world, if anyone is going to advance technology its them.
