I watched Apollo 18 last night
|
| |
...
All in all I'd give the movie a thumbs up. I think science fiction
fans would like it best though. It did have some shock moments for
horror fans.
An aspect of the movie I liked is that the mission landed at the
lunar south pole near one of the permanently shadowed craters. There
was some dialogue in fact about not going too far down into the crater... more »

A TRILOGY ON METAPHYSICS AND THE HUMAN SOUL
(Dedicated to the Honor and the Glory of God)
------------------------------ --------------
A SHORT TREATISE ON THE REALITY OF GOD
God is the ultimate reality. He has spun the universes into existence and has created all other beings. As humans, we too had our beginning from God. Like Plato and Socrates, I believe that we pre-existed in a spiritual realm prior to being born into this world. Unfortunately the church fathers, with the exceptions of Origen and Augustine, rejected this view as an overreaction to the heresies of gnosticism and neoplatonism that threatened to subvert the Gospel. How do I know of this pre-existence? I have very faint memories of a spiritual existence before being born into this world. My children spoke of this of this existence when they were small. I have heard of other 2-4 year old children being able to talk of their own pre-existence in the spiritual realm prior to their earthly birth, when carefully questioned about it. One couple I know of had three boys who each spoke of having been with God and the angels prior to birth without any prompting from their parents when they were small. Evidently as people age and develop, these memories are overlaid with countless earthly memories and are largely forgotten.... more »
