“My theological perspective is that E.T. life would actually make a mockery of the very reason Christ came to die for our sins, for our redemption, the entire focus of creation is mankind on this Earth.” —

Gary Bates head of Creation Ministries International, giving his thoughts on the Vatican’s astrobiology conference. (via WashingtonPost.com) (via atheistramblings)

Well, finally… the head of Creation Ministries International and I found something on which we agree.

lefan: slantback: Michæl.Paukner Ancient Hebrew Cosmology Historical Creationism Actually a really nice graphic. I just explained tried to explain this to my kiddos last week.. that the concept of heaven and hell they are being taught (by other elements in their family, certainly not me) is merely a way that primitive people attempted to understand that which was not explained through any science available at the time. Now we know.  This is a good thing.
