“Is It Farther Than The Stars?”
Earthrise, an iconic image expanding human consciousness. 
The cosmos, according to the Old Testament authors. Courtesy Univ. Idaho, from N. F. Gier’s “God, Reason and the Evangelicals” (University Press of America, 1987). The cosmology is taken from many Biblical passages and other writings of the Ancient Hebrew authors and other Fertile Crescent cultures.

note: this essay, in a slightly different form, appeared in one of my published works, this time in a collection of essays by a regional Atheism group who shall here remain nameless, as I otherwise love and respect them and their Director. However, my essay, and only my essay, was changed, chopped up, and indescribably mangled. I sent the editor, and copied to the Director, my concerns as to why I was pissed off beyond belief – so to say – about the way paragraphs ran into each other, the section headings were integrated into sentences, etc. I did not hear back from either party, as I moved away to TX, leaving that segment of my life behind, forever wondering how incompetency and sheer fucking intellectual laziness can be allowed to tarnish the reputation of a great organization.
