Already been done in "Star Trek: Into Darkness". How original.

He would be required to disembark his Rascal in order to stand at the pulpit. I'm not sure he's up to the task.

Imagine if they had to choose the apostles from those guys.

Didn't they let Packer give his last speech from a chair? Maybe they would give flatulent faqs a break too.

Now, if there are god-like beings (as the Book of Mormon claims), what is more likely? That they are magical creatures or an advanced species?

Doesn't the Book of Mormon state that there is just one God??

Alma 11:

[26] And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?

[27] And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.

[28] Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?

[29] And he answered, No.

[30] Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?

[31] And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.



Then later on in that same Chapter, Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are described as one Eternal God.

Alma 11:

[44] Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Actually, the Book of Mormon mentions multiple god-like beings, the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, elevated immortal humans such as the three Nephites, angels and so on. Seems like there are a lot of these beings around.

Say hello to my little friends... the "three Nephites"...

Hey, those things have protruding ears and a long, tapering thing coming out of their heads. They must be elephants!

Adrienne Mayor is a cool person. I love her stuff.
