Donald Trump with Adam and Eve

Ahhh yes - sometimes you just gotta laugh.

For a very long time now I wanted to see the Seven sisters - and so far they have been rather elusive!! Light pollution not withstanding - one day - yeah ONE day.

Here is a clue - and still I am missing out on seeing them - OR I have seen them and just not realizing it?!?!?!   

Note: Orion is doing a head-stand - as seen from the southern hemisphere!!! 



Anyhow - our Family has always had more then a passing interest in all things celestial!! One of those is - where exactly does our solar system sit / fit into the milky way?????  

Google to the rescue!!!!!!  What did we do before google came along you ask - well - ok - that's a story for another time!!!

Meanwhile I found a few interesting sites / pictures that highlighted the vastness of time and space.  It makes you realize how insignificant our lives and all complicated issues are - really!!!  


The more interesting thing that I had found out was - what we see with our naked eye (eg no help from telescopes etc)  - is only a tiny fraction of our Milky-way!!!   TINY!!!  T I N Y ! !  ok - assuming that the site I lifted this image is from - is100% correct.  

I do remember going to the observatory at St. Johns / Tekapo / NZ and they pointed the telescope right into the middle of the southern cross - and hey presto - what looked like empty space had about some 100's or so bright dots . . . .  which would kind of validate this image!! 



Yeah-yeah I know - you are just wondering where Donald Trump fits into this - right???

Bear - with me

While doing the research, I also found this site --->  https://www.basicknowledge101.com/subjects/space.html   

Which - is quite informative!  It does give a Timeline of the entire universe - with the last few paragraphs just focused on Earth (and may I say some Bias's included in that alone!) . THE last paragraph deals with -- well let me copy and paste . . .

Horrible Moments in History - 410 A.D. Barbarians sacked Rome - 1348 Peak year of the Black Death - 1644 China's Ming Dynasty collapsed and the Thirty Years' War raged in Europe - 1816 The Year Without A Summer, when a volcanic eruption in Indonesia blocked out the sun - 1838 Trail of Tears - 1862 The darkest year of the Civil War - 1919 The Spanish flu pandemic -  1929 The Wall Street stock market crash -  1944 The Holocaust was at its height - 1968 Assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy - 1962 The Cuban missile crisis -  2001 The 9/11 attacks - 2016 Donald Trump becomes president - 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.


Yeah - I mean they are all undoubtedly not great moments in our human history. Still, of ALL the nastier characters that ruled / walked on Earth the author / owner of this particular website just HAD to include Donald Trump!!!  Talk about TDS!!!!! Why not Genghis Khan / Saddam Hussein/ Mugabe / Pol Pot / - and possibly one certain Putin ex Russia?! - who I would have thought - would have much better qualifications as "horrible moments" in our history!!  - yeah right - "Orange Man" is here and now and the others (well - with the exception of Putin) do no longer affect you personally!!  

Also - the Japanese might argue that dropping a couple of Bombs on them was far more traumatic then 9/11 and should be included if not replacing . . . .but I digress. I am sure you can add your own "horrible moment in history" to this list - right?!


The other point one can make is as follows: Why mention the "horrible" things in the first place - when one could  have written about  "good" things happening in our History???? Advancement of Medicinal knowledge - leading to less premature deaths for example . . . .

All this led me to the ponder - ALL this VAST knowledge!!!!! 

From Genesis 2 ---->  1The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” 

It has been some time since I read that - - so silly me has shortened that to just the tree of knowledge!! Period!!  That would certainly have put a different spin on things!!  I never believed for one moment that Science and Religion (or Creation vs Evolution ) are mutually exclusive! Rather I do believe that they compliment each other - IF you accept that Science tells us HOW things have evolved and Religion tells us WHY!!! How and why are different things even if they do lead to the same conclusive place!

Hendrick Goltzius - 1558 - 1617 

It is interesting (and yes - I am no scholar - just some old random dude), that the command for NOT eating from THIS particular tree came BEFORE Eve had been formed.  --- OK so I am NOT going to go into Eve and snake and apples . . . . 

Rather - I wonder why THAT tree was doing there in the first place?!?!  You will also have noticed that the fig-leaves came AFTER they had eaten an apple . . . .  hmmmmm what does that tell us???     right - pass the kiwi fruit?!?!?!

Genesis 3 --->  2And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

As said before - no scholar here - so - a simple question for you - are humans the ONLY kind of species that had eaten some of the "proverbial" apple?????  Indeed are they the only living thing that had its use forbidden?

I'd say not! Have you ever seen the guilty look on your dog when he got found out, having done something, he should not have????  Does doing wrong equal doing evil??? Or is that just a question of 'morality'?????

If morality is that thing that you do when no-one is looking - does that make Donald and Eve equally guilty??  

Another question --  Will we ever be able to get BACK into the famous Garden??? 

Further - there is this whole 'I am your only God' (as in SINGULAR) theme running through the bible and then he says about becoming like "us" (as in PLURAL) so figure that one out!!!!

And lastly -  not to put a finer point on this - Lord  - like really -  WHY OH WHY did you put those damn tress there in the first place??????
