Is Mormon Jesus about to Punish the Earth (link)

After eight years of planning and eight months of interplanetary travel, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory pulled off a touchdown of Super Bowl proportions, all by itself. It even sent pictures from the goal line.

The spacecraft plunged through Mars' atmosphere, fired up a rocket-powered platform and lowered the car-sized, 1-ton Curiosity rover to its landing spot in 96-mile-wide (154-kilometer-wide) Gale Crater. Then the platform flew off to its own crash landing, while Curiosity sent out a text message basically saying, "I made it!"

After all Mormon Jesus was pissed off by this endeavor;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel - According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower "with its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth." God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said, "Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel "because God there confounded the language of all the Earth." (Genesis 11:5-8).

Landed on Mars. That is fine news.

What is this weird nonsense about some Mormon Jesus? Sounds like some dopey thing.

It is hard to imagine the tower story having anything to do with science. I suspect it has to do with dangerous empires. Israel was a small area near dangerous expansionist empires which demanded taxes or tribute when they felt kindly.

Look, science is just a lot of theories, and scientists keep on changing their minds all the time. Real truth must be sought elsewhere, like in F&T meeting.

Why, in a few years scientists will change their minds again, and tell us that Curiosity didn't land on Mars at all. Then where will all you science worshipers be?

Actually, Mormon Jesus is the author and revelator of Science and invites all to receive. Because I have received it, I am able to continually KYA in debate.

Receive what? A lobotomy? I am guessing that's what you mean because that is the only way your second sentence makes any sense...

While I would rather have a bottle in front of me than have a frontal lobotomy, the fact remains that an LDS persona can accept all science without coming into conflict with LDS doctrine except for a Global Flood.

Ah, so an LDS person can accept all science without coming into conflict with LDS doctrine except when they can't....I can see how that would make sense to you.
