Re: Pale Blue Dot
You do have a very interesting way of confusing me with Phat. What you attribute to me is something Phat said.
However perhaps I'll add here that when I first heard Carl Sagan's immortal words about how the universe is all there is and all there ever will be I wrote him off as an arrogant imbecile.

Re: Pale Blue Dot
I haven't seen the video but I don't get all choked up over anything to do with the earth or the universe. It's huge but hugeness doesn't inspire humility. God does however.
ABE: Well I sort of have to take that back a little, because lately I've been wondering how on earth anyone who is adapted to this physical world can possibly adapt to the spiritual world we are to inherit. I've been pretty depressed lately and was thinking what would stop me from being depressed in heaven which is going to be so foreign to us. I guess I just have to leave all that to God.
AbE Second thought. The next stage is to be the Millennium which will be played out on this planet. Perhaps I should think of that as God's kind provision to help us adapt to our changed circumstances. Raptured believers will be in our new glorified bodies which are going to be hard enough to adapt to.
Nevertheless I look on this planet as a wreckage left over from the Flood, and the human world is so shot through with sin due to our fallenness my attachment to it is more from habit than love any more. But maybe the Millennium will transition me.
