COGaIC: Apollo 11

Saturn V Launch of Apollo 11 Mission on July 16, 1969

Forty years ago, the USA launched its Apollo 11 moon mission. COGaIC’s Dan Cloer wrote the following:

On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 set off on its monumental mission to put a man on the moon. 40 years later we still wonder about the vast universe that stretches out for billions of light-years in all directions…

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the first extraterrestrial steps for mankind. When the lunar module Eagle landed, its touchdown represented the decade-long collective efforts of thousands of laborers in dozens of industries…

Before the advent of rocketry, 20th century astronomy revealed a much larger and complex universe than was previously known…

Is reality not objective? Is it fluid, subject to the molding of observation into what we imagine reality to be in a sort of collective human consciousness?

Does consciousness in fact create the universe? The argument for such an intertwining of mind, perception, and what we believe is real is gaining scientific weight beyond mere fringe popularity. Such strange concepts, once the realm of science fiction, have undulated among the sciences forming an odd metaphysical feedback loop.

Though there are various theories, we in the Living Church of God believe:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
