Media, Blue Horizons' Launch, Life Forms In Space, and Killing Unborn Babies

 It is with great sorrow and concern for humanity that I listen to the pop media banter about Blue Horizon's successful launch and return of their human payload this morning. Not only is civilian incursion into space being discussed, but also a more energetic exploration for life forms in space. One commentator passingly touched on defining life forms. Humanity is drunk with self-defined success and dreams of what we can do and where we can go. 

By contrast, here is God's definition of success, a word that He only uses once in His written Word.

Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

We are increasingly pushing God away and seeking our own secular humanistic way of doing things, because we do not wish to be accountable to the Self-existent One who created us. We lust for freedom as long as it is for us and without responsibility. But, we need to acknowledge who made "all this".

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

Psalm 121:2
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Yet, humanity is chasing its own philosophies and religions, including self-worship, while refusing to give credit to our Creator. Just as we reject God Almighty and choose our self-centered ways, humanity dreams and seeks arduously for life forms and intelligence in space, willing to call anything 'life' that titillates our fantacy and fancy. \

As we egregiously abhor and attack the very life that God gives to us here on Earth, we butcher tens of millions upon tens of millions of unborn babies right here in the USA, without even counting how many around the world. We refuse to acknowledge that God says life is sacred and begins with conception. 

Isaiah 49:5
5  And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

Jeremiah 1:5
5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

We deceive ourselves into allowing women to slay their unborn young, all for convenience and/or health of the mother, without regard for consequences, temporal or eternal. We don't want to believe that we are accountable to anyone for our murder of these children.

How is it that humanity has grown so selfish and cold that we are willing to call hints of space viruses or bacteria life, but we reject and murder the growing life inside a mother's womb? Those growing unborn babies are unique and distinct living entities separate from the mother's biology. The womb is separate from the child's umbilical system that interfaces with the mother, but the interlaced tendrils of the womb and placenta are still two separate systems, though they interchange nutrients, oxygen, and wastes. To say that a babe in the womb is part of the mother is like saying that an astronaut is part of a spaceship. Both examples contain pairs of distinct entities with distinctly different systems.

We call ourselves civilized, but we idolize self, money, convenience, lust, greed, fear, doubt,  adventure, and we collectively choose to try to exist without the one and only real God who made all of Creation. Our modern societies are no different from any pagan culture that ever did the same things. The old religions used to sacrifice their children to wood, stone, or metal idols. We do the very same thing, but claim that ideas and convenience are not idols. You be the judge of that, now, for God shall judge us all for it. 

Our technologies do not make us better people, for we commit the same sins that have always been committed since Adam and Eve. What our technologies do is make it easier for us to deceive ourselves about who we really are and what we are really like. We worship our technologies and allow ourselves to feel good about ourselves when we should be repenting of our sinful practices and our rebellion against God Almighty.
