Today, I am reviewing an incredibly important and relevant book, which you have probably never heard of. It’s called
The Bible and Rockets to the Moon by Edward Boone
. First
off, let me apologize; you won’t be able to find this work anywhere,
nor can you borrow my copy. But that’s okay, because I’m going to tell
you everything you need to know about this little volume. Strap in;
we’re going to hit 5 Gs.
The book begins with the bold observation that, “Radio commentators,
newspapers, and magazines have been talking in terms never before used
in the history of the world.” This is conveyed as a bad thing, largely
because recent achievements have been so far beyond the average
citizen’s understanding that they “leave the human race groping in
darkness like a blind man.” I know, sounds bad.
Oh, I should mention that this little booklet was written after
Sputnik and Explorer, but before Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar
surface. And the “relevant issue” at hand is whether or not landing on
the moon would be a sinful rebellion against the Almighty. I inherited
this short, saddle-stitched volume from my late grandmother, who had a
whole shelf full of similar booklets and pamphlets—some of them full of
solid Gospel material, and a few of them more or less cookoo for Cocoa
Puffs. I have no idea where she got them or what she thought of this
particular book. Seriously, though; stick with me. I promise it really
is relevant.
Mr. Boone attempts to use the Bible to build. . .
