Evacuate

Evacuate?

The other day I watched a documentary called Evacuate Earth. It was a fascinating film that presented what could possibly be done if the earth was threatened by an object from outer space.
The premise was simply that we’d be searching the stars for an earthlike planet that we could go to should we find earth was in danger of being destroyed.
In fact the search for earth like planets is happening today.
Should such a cataclysmic even appear to be imminent. The powers to be would carefully select people from all over the world using genetic selection and other means, to go onto a large space craft for a journey that would at the minimum take a generation or more to that new earth.
I realized that the people making the movie were not Christians.
For me the premise that the human race would die out due to some cataclysm perhaps in theory is more than possible. After all our existence on this planet is defined by razor thin margins.
Still I do not believe for one second the human race would die out. Human beings while here on earth are have bodies of flesh and bone but that is not what makes up a man. Men and women were crated by God as eternal beings.  Let me quote loosely from Martin Luther King Jr who said,
“We thank thee, O God, for the spiritual nature of man.We are in nature but we live above nature....
Then, finally, help us to realize that man was created to shine like stars and live on through all eternity...”
King recognized the one thing all Christians and other faith groups know. First of all man is not just a corporeal being, but a spiritual being who is destined to live on through eternity.
A comet, asteroid, neutron star, nuclear holocaust, or for that matter a mass murderer, cannot sent people into oblivion.
To me the thought that all there is, is this life is very sad.
Every man, woman and child has so much potential. For it to be limited to a few years or decades or even just over a century seems such a waste.
I do believe the words of Martin Luther King when he said, mankind was created to live on like the stars through eternity.
I know to the unbeliever that may seem silly even stupid, it is never the less what I believe.
I have read the Bible with an open mind and truly believe what it says. The apostle Paul writing to Timothy wrote,
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.  
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. 
                            1Timothy 1:15,16 
Eternal life to a Christian is a gift from God. C. S. Lewis said,
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” 
                                           C.S. Lewis.
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
        Romans 5:8.
Writing to the Ephesians Paul said, 
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
                                                                   Ephesians 2:8,9
When all is said and done however what will happen to mankind and each individual on this earth comes down to a matter of where you put your faith, in Science or in God.
The writer of Hebrews noting,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                                      Hebrews 11:6
Think about it
