Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Aliensanctuary Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Projects like space exploration tend to create technological spinoffs which leads to improvements in our daily lives. Now wasted money, to me, is to pay welfare to men and women who don't work, they just have more and more babies, supported, naturally, by us taxpayers.

LifeHiscost Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 . Now wasted money, to me, is to pay welfare to men and women who don't work, they just have more and more babies, supported, naturally, by us taxpayers. Most people in the world don't really have it altogether. That's why this promise is so needed. 34. "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing."....Luke 23 God is Love!

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted December 6, 2014 Administrators Posted December 6, 2014 NASA's entire budget accounts for less than one half of one percent of the total Federal budget. The return on that investment in our future is hard to calculate. But on a more immediate level, such expenditures do contribute positively to the economy of this country multiple times the few billion expended for such research and technology development. Cutting science and research expediters in the budget is a very short-sighted measure. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)
CoAspen Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Or we could just watch the grass grow......... Some seem to think that exploration of our universe is a waste of monies, resourses and time. Would be a shame to think that God created humans to only think in one direction and not use the full capabilities of it. Usually that thought goes along with 'well, it's the end of the world and we have better things to do' which in my mind is rather narrow minded. We should be rejoicing for the accomplishments of the human mind and thanking God for allowing us to use the mind with out boundries. Perhaps some may not be happy with heaven because there will not be anyone or anything to point a finger at and 'wag' it.!!! (thank God I'm not a robot) Quote

LifeHiscost Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 OK I got what you are pointing to. It really didn't look like that to me. I was talking about the mindset of man to make their own effort and achievements supremely reflective of their own power and what we may see in the immediate future as a result. It isn't without precedent. …29"Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. 30"The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?' 31"While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you,…Daniel 4 God is Love!

Aliensanctuary Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 And when there are not enough jobs to go around!!!!!!!!!!!! It's more a lack of initiative and creative thinking. I was usually laid off between construction jobs, which were often hundreds of miles away from my family. I finally took the initiative to get some medical training, and now I work as much overtime that I want. Our government makes it easy and desirable for women to have babies in order to get on welfare, and, to increase their benefits. Why work, or even look, when there's free money out there... I'd much rather see my tax dollars going to space exploration and the jobs and technology it creates rather than to welfare moms who like all that free money, sitting in front of the TV, drinking, smoking, slapping the kids around. The politicians, too, like all that free money, and if they can't find a way to waste it today, they'll waste it tomorrow.
