Never Imagined This Coming From Comics

Post by Mad Jax » Fri May 24, 2019 4:18 am

Which is silly of me since I was loving Alan Moore's work years before graphic novels became a respectable medium. I've never read Grant Morrison. I quit reading comics when I was 18 so it's been some time since I delved into them (minus the MCU and other films of course). Really interesting video and I think it relates to a lot of the apotheosis theories of human spirituality.

Very interesting. It holds up better than the explanations in the average Sunday School class I attend.

Much more complex than LDS cosmology. Of course in all fairness to Joseph Smith, Jules Verne had not even written his first book when that cosmology was being developed.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Sounds like Kip Thorne and Terrance McKenna had a love-child.
