There is another concept involving increased momentum. The laws of Sir Isaac Newton. But to answer Uncle Bill, Ill have to go back and check my Astronomy book (by Seeds). You may be correct, but I dont think there are any satellites ie asteroids or planets around this star you mentioned. I believe there may be in the case of Sirius. I know it is one of the closest and brightest.

Well I personally always believed the old testament had more symbolism. I do not believe in the concept of Adam and Eve. But I take the new testament more seriously. As for the spaceships I agree with you. And Ill tell you why. they are too far away and would be handcuffed to the same laws of physics that we are. The closest star beyond our sun is Sirius. If you had a spaceship that could travel at the speed of light (the fastest speed possibe in physics) then it would take you 40 yrs to get there! Ouch. So they would have to have long life spans or have the ability to reproduce on the ship (not impossible). something we ourselves have contemplated.

If Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster really existed dont you think they would have found a dead one by now? So I say no way. But I do absolutly believe there is other life out there, knowing what I know about astronomy and random genetical selection. Question is, is there intelligent life? There could be dinosaurs out there galaxies away. And if you believe in ghosts and the ability for the spirit to continue, then you would have to conclude that God also exists. And I believe he abssolutly does.

Here is wisdom and taste folks: now listen and give a chance. I live in NY. But I send away for the best candy I have ever had. Including chocolate right from Germany. ESHTER PRICE FROM OHIO. Im telling you try the assorted creams and chocolates and you will see how great it is.
