When God sees a phallus like object about to be launched up his rectum, he can't be too happy about that ;)

first of all the people who wear building the tower wear specifically making it to go closer or become more like god is would obviously piss him off, but NASA is going into outer space to learn more about the amazing world he gave us. the NASA sines don't say ( NASA AN ATTEMPT TO REACH GOD) so of coarse the space shuttles are not againts god

uh Duh!!

If this statement is true, ignorance is better than knowledge from a religious perspective. Now, from an atheistic perspective, this statement would be false since there is no god anyway. From a religious point of view, however, god supposedly created the humans - and gave them free will. God has (as far as I know) not said anything that we should not search the truth - quite the opposite, he gave us free will so we can do whatever we want to.

So from either point of view, this statement is false in my opinion.

God created out universe and world. He also created the science and laws that govern it. God always knew we would eventually get into space and what us to grow in knowledge and understanding. the only reason some would argue for this point would be if they were afraid that space would change or contradict there beliefs. If go didn't want us to go into space we would not allow. there are plenty of accounts in the bible of god stopping people from going against his will. God Destroyed the tower of babel not cause it was a tower to space but because people were trying to build a tower to get to heaven. if the lord didn't want us to allow it it would not be possible or would be stopped. The lord wants us to understand the universe and grow.

You're suggesting that God destroyed a tower because he was threatened that people might be able to reach heaven with it, but a space shuttle couldn't reach heaven or God would have destroyed it too? The only way this would makes sense is if the tower was a metaphor.

In this question I think space shuttles could be considered a metaphor for science. If you accept these metaphors I think your argument doesn't hold water. You suggest he created science and laws that govern the universe, and therefore created the ability (or loop hole) where people could create a tower to heaven, but then destroy any attempts to create that tower. You say he wants us to explore the universe, but some things are off limits. Rather than creating a universe where those limits can't be reached (if he created the laws that govern the universe) why strike us down when we get close to building something he doesn't like, just make it impossible (by changing the laws of the universe) to create a tower to heaven.

You suggest that god controls everything and it someone using your level of reason could suggest that god destroyed the Challenger space shuttle because it was against him.

Na dude I think your interpreting his comment wrong. I'm not an expert on the "tower" story but here's my understanding...

People building the tower believed there was a God...this shows because they were trying to build a tower to Heaven (so if they believed that there IS a Heaven I'm sure they also believed that there IS a God).

The problem with the tower was that the people creating it believed that they "didn't need God to get to Heaven" (that's a key point there!!!). Instead, they thought they could just build a tower and get to Heaven without God.

As for space ships...well science created space ships to get to space, not Heaven. So I don't see why God would have a problem with this. It's not that we believe we can get to Heaven without God, we're simply trying to get into space. I'm sure God was quite proud of us when we first accomplished that.

Gravity is what it is (6.673*10^-11) because that's how the math works out. If gravity were any stronger or weaker the galaxy would be a giant blackhole or would the orbits of it's solar systems and the galaxy itself would dissolve.

The only possible way for us to have the range of elements we have and all the necessary things to support life is for the fundamentals forces to be just so.

It's not that God's trying to prevent us from getting into space, it's just that he backed himself into a mathematical corner by endowing things with mass.

Space Shuttles have actually been in space. That is a fact. God requires a leap of faith. I can prove the space shuttle exists, not god.

Geez, what'd God ever do to Space Shuttles?

Maybe Space Shuttles should quit having such an attitude problem.

There is no evidence that I am aware of that Space Shuttles are against God! God has blessed us with minds that create knowledge through intelligence. Had He not wanted it so, I truly do not believe He would have given us dominion over ourselves.

This is purely a dumb-ass question. Science itself is man's way of understanding God.

Saying that space shuttles are against god is like saying eating lucky charms is against leprechauns. We all know that leprechauns don't exist even if we have no proof, we just know that them not existing is MUCH more likely than them existing. The same can be said about unicorns, santa claus, the tooth fairy...and god. So therefore, space shuttles cannot be against a fictional being that was created by man thousands of years ago in order to control the masses.

This is stupid. No, space shuttles are not against god. People should learn to keep religion out of physics.

Of course they aren't. If God didn't want us to go to space, he wouldn't have let us go there in the first place!
