Glenn's apotheosis in space

Legendary astronaut John Glenn is clearly on an emotional

    high way up there in space . His inspired words of religious

    conviction will delight stubborn creationists everywhere. It

    is almost obvious OUT THERE isn't it : a divine view presupposes

    DIVINITY!

        ..." Looking at the earth from this vantage point, looking

    at this kind of creation, and to not believe in God , to me, is

    impossible ", said Glenn.

          I have no doubt that Glenn's experience of the glorious

    BIG PICTURE would be an epiphany for a hardened atheist.

          But the emotional reinforcement of a religious conviction

    does not add any intellectual depth to it .

         What would Charles Darwin or Albert Einstein  think if they

    -by some " creationist " miracle - could accompany John Glenn

    in his space ship.

             No doubt starry eyed Carl Sagan would have been awe-struck

    too by this highly privileged experience. But knowing Carl, we can

    be sure that he would have said something like this : " Oh what

    hydrogen atoms can do after twenty billion years of cosmic

    evolution !  "

            But nevertheless: HALLELUJAH !
