The question of whether the lives on other planets have myths of creation, fall, and redemption, and other Christs, is a great one. I've always sort of thought the planets capable of sustaining life were inhabited by <I>us;</I> that maybe even those in our solar system that appear to be lifeless really aren't, but we can't see them -- sort of a reverse mirage effect, or some different dimension that we can't even conceive of. Or that they were once occupied by us, or will be in the future; and I tend to extend that concept to other galaxies. But now I have this <I>Star Trek / Farscape</I> possibility in my head, and that's even more mind boggling. I just hope it's true that when we die, we really do get to understand it all.<BR/><BR/>I do believe in God, because after the things I've experienced, I can't <I>not</I> believe, but I sure don't know how to apply that belief to those other worlds. Just the fact that dinosaurs once roamed the earth (and aren't mentioned in Genesis at all, not a big fan of the Bible) is almost too much for me to conceive of. This post will give me something to think about for a long time to come, and if anyone deserves the <I>Thinking Blogger Award</I> it's you! You can pick that up over on my blog, if you've a mind to. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Thanks for the Whitman, too.
