Backyard Professor on Mormonism Live Tomorrow Night

Post by Philo Sofee »

Mormonism Live (Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon) have invited me onto their show to talk about UFOs and Mormonism. It ought to be informative and fun! Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Kerry, could you address the question of whether temple spires are helping guide a Kolobian invasion fleet to Earth?

Great episode BYP. I loved riffing on your alien quest and it's fun to speculate. I think there probably are aliens out there. I don't know if they have made contact with us but it seems likely that there is alien life out there. The universe is too big. As for the encounters by people here, I believe that there is technology that is 30 years or more ahead of what is public, for military reasons, and that is probably what is taken for UAP's.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Thanks, it was a lot of fun. I don't think their audience much liked me, the hazards of putting it out there I suppose. Difficult people. But then again, a difficult topic!

Yes. It’s topical (spire height) and satirical. It made me smile. It’s clever because as ridiculous as it sounds, if Nelson suggested that Spire Height was significant in heralding the second coming, most Mormons would believe it.
1. Eye witness testimony is notoriously unreliable. 2. The best evidence for The Book of Mormon is eye witness testimony, therefore… 3.The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is a type of evidence that is notoriously unreliable.

Oh. But Nelson has suggested no such thing, hence my (continued) confusion.

There are layers of funny in the joke Shades.

It posits a temple spire antenna network which in turn enables an invasion of a fictitious army from Kolob, ostensibly coming here to further Mormonism on earth. All of which pokes fun of the ridiculous nature of some Mormon beliefs.
