For over two thousand years every generation has told the story of Jesus that was fitting for that day, time and age.
My story tries to explain the Purpose of the Universe thru science and a modern tale of Christ. - TJDS
This story is about Tommy. He is turning grey - yet still tall, dark and handsome. Set in his ways - yet puts up with the girls in his life including two female dogs & two cats, a girlfriend, her sister, and his sister. And let's not forget me.
I'm Christine and almost 20. His lady took me in during a snowstorm and I stayed there for a few months and picked up a few things from him about cooking, science and life.
All the ladies respect his intelligence and the animals consider him the alpha dog.
He cooks world class food, watches t.v. and writes sci-fi stories - like this one.
There are a few things that always bothered me. One was about the Bible and History. And the other is why on earth did people build those big things like pyramids.
Of things like the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge there can be no misunderstanding. How could people back then make these things so big without using a wheel. At first I thought I knew the answer. It must be that spacemen (called the gods) did it. They came down to earth and taught us humans how to levitate all those gigantic stones and put them in the right place. But that can't be because why would we forget how to do all those great things. After reading Tommy's stories now I think I know better - at least I think I do ...
First thing Tommy did was to tell me that he wrote a few stories about the same thing. One was the Christian version and the other was for everyone else; that was the Universal version. Well, since I was a Christian I chose that one.
Oh, I almost forgot I became his public reader because he said, “You read better than I do.”

Before reporters and storytellers concentrated on Who, What, Where, When & How, they centered their tales on the very basic things of existence like Earth, Wind, Fire, & Water and the Four Seasons.
They wanted to create “Aha Moments” so their audience would feel the emotions of Joy, Hate, Love & Bliss. These stories were designed to help people remember the most important things in life like the Four Seasons.
But what tales would be lasting and gigantic enough to capture the minds of their people? It would have to be as big as the sky and more important than their life and love experiences of everyday life.
So they first looked up and charted the difference between Day and Night. The sun captured the day and the moon, the night. There was a pattern in the timing of the Sun and the Moon that continued in an endless cycle called 'A Day'. They witnessed the sun move from East to West and they noticed that it followed several tracts across the sky from one gate of the Earth to the other. Those tracts marked the Four Seasons. The Moon's glow also created a particular pattern from full, to half, to new, to half and then it become full once more.
The moon's cycle was very regular and that made it extremely easy for early civilizations to create a chart called 'A Month'. It would be our first Calendar. But it was useless when it came to predicting the right time to plant crops.
The Earth seemed to take on a repeating cycle and the people needed to know about it so they could do their planting and reaping accordingly. But how could anyone remember the where and when of these activities? It would be through stories of the Four Seasons. All one had to do was to look up in the sky and see the difference among the Stars to create a chart for 'A Year'.
If the days stayed longer it was Spring. If the sun was highest in the sky it was Summer. If the leaves on the trees began to fall it was Autumn. And when the sun would follow a lower horizontal tract (from gate to gate), and the night air would would be cold, that would be Wintertime.
And when the evening sky would show the constellation Leo the Lion, it was Springtime and in the Middle East lions would roam close to the towns and it would be time to plant crops. In Summer Hercules would appear in the sky bending his body on one knee. This genuflect showed them that they should be ready to perform public service for the Clan and State.
Aquarius, the water-bear would shine in the sky in anticipation of the rainy season in Assyria.
Lastly, but not least, was the magnificent constellation of Orion, the hunter – with his three star belt and outstretched arms and legs that presided over the winter sky. But no matter how cold and snowy it got, all the people had to do was to look up and see Orion and know that all is well in the heavens and on earth.
When storytellers brought Mythological SuperMen to narratives of the constellations the people would remember the stories well and pass them to their children. Then when they combined human elements of blood sweat and tears with the four basic elements of Earth, Air, Wind, & Fire they gave vitality to people's Real Life Experiences.
(Just think of all the combinations that can be made with good men and woman fighting the evil powers of the earth. And in doing so they helped the people remember important things like the four seasons and the growing food, too.)
Ancient civilizations also had special holidays to mark the changing Four Seasons. Think about it; they built gigantic temples and monuments that cost them 25% of their GNP to commemorate the Summer Solstice and their North Star.
We do the same today with our mid-season holidays. In Springtime we celebrate May Day. It is a special day when all the young ladies are given ribbons attached to a May Pole while they dance around it and decorate it with their colorful ribbons. The boys sit around in a circle and watch the young ladies to see which one they want to date. The results of this ritual could have implications that would involve generations to come – children, grandkids, and great-great ones too.
Also during this time we have new beginnings, births, and rebirth in the form of Easter and Passover.
High points in Summer are picnics at the beach and the Fourth of July Festivities. We originally did these kind of things as our crops continue to grow.
When the summer is gone, and the crops have matured, it is time to have the famous dinners of the harvest and enjoy Halloween, All Saints Day and the Thanksgiving holidays.
When winter begins, the days start to get little longer. To celebrate this time of the year – the return of the sun – we have Christmas. And as the cold days continue, we play with Groundhog Day and hope to continue to have love on Valentine's Day.
Real life can be quite boring and forgettable so it sometime needs a little help form dreamers to create lasting impressions.
Dreams come from the same place where Myths exist. My stories take life and add my dreams to create myths.
All of these stories try to combine Reality, with Dreams and aspirations that turn into Mythological narratives. They help us to remember the most important things in life. The repeating patterns of the seasons give us hope because they continue to follow one another - seemingly without end. That brings peace and hope to our minds in this ever changing and challenging world. And the love we have for this planet will keep us safely protected through the Space/Time Continuum as sure as Day follows Night. And that is a major way we have attempted to live in peaceful harmony and security.
So once again – as the story goes – all one has to do to make one's mark on society is to take a little Reality, spice it up with Dreams and produce a Myth that will lay the framework for generations to come and bring about a Future reality that continues to help and astound us.
And what goes around, comes around Just like the Sun, the Moon, the Constellations And our Four Seasons.

The Universe has a Purpose. Even the smallest changes in its makeup help create our life on Earth. Understanding this concept helps us better deal with our own personal problems ... It appears to be guided by A Higher Power.
The Miracle of Life...
How it all began:
Call it something like a teeny-tiny Spark – The Big Bang. It was extremely hot beyond belief. And within a second it grew and got cooler.
Space-Time started to grow faster than the speed of light. The scientist called it Expansion/Inflation. We can chart this growth by the evidence of Gravitational Waves and the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the positions of the Galaxies themselves throughout the Universe. What happened was this Inflation expanded the space of the universe while Gravity push the expansion of Radiation in a uniform spread.
The universe had no mass. It weighed nothing; just radiation; but particles began to form as things cooled. But still, they had no mass to build this great universe we live in. So there had to be something, but what?
Scientists at Cern were able to reverse engineer atoms to see what they were made of. (We know this process as Reverse Engineering. Companies and Governments compete with one another by reversing plans, plants, and/or objects to see what and how things are made.) Well, at Cern, they did the same with small things like Quarks, Protons and Neutrons to find out what they are made of. In the process, they found a Field that gave weight to sub atomic particles. It was a Boson Field that gave weight to everything. (When they first thought of this boson it was so elusive to them that they called it “that goddamn particle”, then when they came close to finding it, they called it THE GOD PARTICLE. Well, then they named it by the guy who thought of it, Peter Higgs, the Higgs Particle.)
All this happened way before the Universe was one second old.
Heat from subatomic particles and photon vessels of light cooled and converted their energy into Matter and Antimatter nucleons like Quarks.
There should have been equal amounts of matter and antimatter created. These things would have annihilated themselves and the universe would have been destroyed. But...
(There was only one billionth of a billionth more matter particles than there were antimatter. The result was when they blew themselves up, they left a small amount of regular matter. That remnant is what made everything we have today.)
That's when things got cool enough for a force so strong to emerge. This force is the Strong Force. (It would be able to forged Quarks, Protons, Neutrons, into the nucleus or center of Atoms.)
Fractions of a second later two more forces would be added to Gravity and the Strong Force. They were the Weak Force that will keep electrons spinning around atoms and make the stars shine. The other is Electromagnetism which will govern all that we are - like our very own chemistry and all that we do like build. These forces drive the universe.
All this took place in the first second of Big Bang.
The continued expansion we call Inflation took small things like Quarks and spread them all around the universe. They joined forces to become Hydrogen Atoms.
About fourteen billion years ago there were three kinds of atoms that formed. They were ninety percent Hydrogen, ten percent Helium with trace amounts of Deuterium and Lithium that created everything else.
About one-third of a million years later Dark Matter pulled the atoms together and enabled light to appear in Galaxies while Dark Energy continued to expanded the universe and separated the galaxies. Every Star combines to make several several atomic elements. When some of them explode, they make every element that exists in today's universe. Even us!
Gas clouds became the birthplace of more new stars. Ideal places within solar system created asteroids that rolled together and became planets. The Earth was formed by these asteroids and then a similar planet called Theia crashed into Earth. This collision doubled the Iron core of Earth, tilted it twenty-four degrees, allowed for life to expand because of the creation of Seasons, and created the Moon which held the Earth on its tilt. This made it perfect for life. (We call places like our planet Goldilocks Zones because it is not to hot and not too cold!)
The Earth protected itself with its huge amounts Iron core and its molten core creating an magnetic circle around us. It deflected almost all of the solar winds except some of it got trapped in the Van Alan Belts. They kept us safe from the one million mile an hour Solarwinds.
The Earth became filled with greenhouse gas called Carbon dioxide and it became warm. Oceans interacted on land and formed tide pools. Bubbles often formed and these became the bases for the single cell membranes. The compounds needed for life have long been around. DNA compounds were brought to Earth when astroids fell from the “clouds”. Sparks from lightning strikes combined them and enabled them to replicate. Then they eventually found a home in the newly created cells. Also, at the same time underwater volcanoes produce similar effect in cell growth. Anaerobic bacteria became the dominate single cells on Earth. They took carbon dioxide and converted it into oxygen. Ozone (O3) protected the earth from UV photons.
Life began in the Ocean as single cell plants and animals. The plants produced CO2 and the sea animals produced O2 which the plants took in.
Two hundred fifty-two million years ago the Earth experienced violent volcanoes which created soot and ash that covered the atmosphere of the earth which made the Earth so cold it turn into a Snowball Earth and killed almost everything (99%). It was call the Great Dying. Life began again... Fishes roamed the seas eating plants and other smaller fish. The clams, oysters and mussels literally covered the ocean floor up until the evolution of coruscations that adapted claws to crack the hard shells open. Then the shell animals clung to the shoreline for safety.
The fish developed and sharks took over the sea. The sexual evolution continued and the fish became reptiles and mammals and hominids.
Then sixty-five million years ago a massive astroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula and wiped out seventy percent of all life including the smart-thinking T-Rex that would have eventually evolved to build spaceships. But that was never meant to be. You see tiny animals like the five-toe Shrew would survive and evolve.
Hominids had to evolve from their ancestors. We were Hunter-Gathers in the grasslands of Africa with a common ancestor called Scientific Mitochondria Eve. Some say a moment before that is when: “God breathed into Adam [Man] and Adam [Man] became a living Soul.” The grasslands dried up and we moved to Asia and Europe and Indonesia. And some believe that others went to Polynesia where they looked at the tide pools and learned about Hydraulics and became super smart.
(Here is a cute aside from Buckminster Fuller: He speculates that some of the People there decided to live in the Ocean and became Whales – The only mammals to cry salty tears are Human and Whales ...)
Could be that man became intelligent there and his knowledge branched out to all the other continents?
In any event, Mankind eventually found a Stick and learned to plant crops, start wars and dominate land. This ended the age of Hunter-Gather and the beginning of Man as Farmer with Agriculture.
In tribes, communities, cities and countries there were powerful men and religious leaders that controlled trade, the Industrial Revolution, Manufacturing, Planes, Boats & Trains, War and eventually the American Way of Life – The USA.
All that leading to the Information Age, Computers, and the Space Age.
An interesting note about Einstein:
There was a time before Einstein where physicist studied either Matter or Energy – but not both. They never knew that one could come from the other. It was really strange, because they knew the speed of light but never thought that it could be used to convert one to the other. Yet today every school child knows E=MC2 because it is so true. Energy equals Mass times The Speed of Light squared.
The Miracle of Life.
The Universe has a Purpose. Even the smallest changes in its makeup help create our life on Earth. After all we have learned and how far we have advanced, it still appears to be guided by A Higher Power.

This story is about a Type I Planet that was greatly influenced by their spiritual
Teacher.
Something went wrong in their world and they had to move to another planet.
This tale is a work of fiction designed to stimulate your imagination.

SPACESHIP XMAS-1 - In love's new beginning -
- Spaceship crashed, test tubes broke, and the red light went on. -
My Dear Children of the Future,
My presence on board XMAS-1 is my gift to you.
Our kind is imbued with a soul. And that spiritual aspect of our lives gives us a fifth dimension beyond space and time.
Many prophets spoke to us about our children becoming as numerous as the sand in the sea, and the stars in the sky. That is why you are being sent forth to the heavens above. You will make a new home for us.
As most can recall, the gift of life was given to us when our higher power breathed into our kind and we became a living soul.
Many, many years ago someone found a stick. It could be used to tame the friendly animals and beat away wild beasts of prey.
About ten thousand years ago, the most important thing one could do with a stick was discovered. It could be used to poke a hole in the ground – ready for a seed to be dropped in it. That simple act produced plants and trees that gave us majestic, luxuriant, and delightful foods like fruits and vegetables for us to eat.
Fire was used in making meals, and everyone could eat well. It cooked the flesh of the wild beasts. (The children were always given the best parts like the hearts that helped them grow big and strong.)
All aspects of life can be used for purposes of good and evil. The fire and the stick were no exceptions. They broke the bonds of kinship and the unity we share with all things. When you combine the stick with fire great things can happen, but there is also room for murder. And that's when the Killing started - even brother against brother.
This created a need for law and order. Therefore, each clan chose a Strong Man to lead the battle, and also to keep wild animals away from their homes. Strong Men used religious men to make magic. Those tricks firmed people's belief in their power and majesty. The people blindly followed them.
Children, our people are capable of accomplishing many things, but the thing we do best is Believe in someone or something. It has allowed our lineage to survive tragedies for millions of years.
The things we believed in, during those days, were the Strong Men and also the ones who could amaze us by doing feats of magic. The Strong Men became Kings and the Magicians became Priests. They came together to build armies and fought others who were different from them. They did that so they could make short term gains. There was no peace. But...
As time passed, Sellers of exotic goods came from far away lands to little towns to make good trades.
There were Actors and Writers who told stories about how situations in life could challenge people to alter behaviors.
Many years had to pass before people began to Believe in themselves. They also began trusting their instincts. When they began to Trust themselves, a new way of life began to take shape.
That innovative idea that was to bring peace to our land. It was first presented by great philosophers and a greater impact was made by our Christ.
The reason why we called your spaceship Christmas is because it was designed by a man who gave children gifts and was fond of saying, “Every day is Christmas.”
In regards to the designation XMAS-1 on your craft: The X is the ancient symbol for Christ and excellence. The MAS part is reminiscent of our celebration of the mass festival honoring His sacrifice.
(The Dash 1 is there, because you will be the first of many.)
On Christmas Day we give gifts to each other – but the best gifts are given to our children. And now my dear little ones, we have indeed given you the best gift of all. It is LIFE.
Our intellect grows because we change our behavior to meet new challengers.
For example, both the Sellers and the Actors wanted clear passage and peace in the land as they travelled from town to town.
Some Brave Men & Women said, “You can knock me down, but it will only make more people want to follow me.”
The people rose up to confront the Kings and the Priests by Passive Resistance. Sometimes they made gains toward peace, many others went to jail. Some were killed!
The world knew that the only way to survive as a species, was to become friends with the animals and people from different cultures.
Just when things seemed optimistic, the people became afraid of internal planetary destruction by evil companies... and nation states. But realizing this idea, Corporations began cooperating with the people, governments, and even other businesses. This was only a beginning. It would take hundreds of years to break through the barriers that had separated people from one another.
In the meantime, we thought that the extremes of religion, politics, & greed would continue to expand, and wipe us out before it was too late...
So, we built this magnificent spaceship to go on an extended journey through the Interstellar Clouds to your new planet. Life emerged from those rocky clouds, and life will return there again. It is a rock of ages and an ark of our salvation.
Ironically, it was not any of these creeds that would kill us. It was not even exploding stars or black holes, but an unexpected collision of two tiny neutron stars. That event did, however, release an automatic trigger to sending our ships on a voyage to known worlds like our own.
In our world, there came a time when it seemed to us that all things were possible. However, it was not meant to be in my time. You now have the opportunity to make that dream come true in your own soul driven 3-D / Space-Time – and in your own way.
Unfortunately, nothing is perfect. In our time we made a slight miscalculation. We were never able to totally correct your trajectory, and your spaceship will be pulled by a gravitational force. It will send you slightly off course.
It will bring you into a new home planet – but unfortunately, your ship will be destroyed. I believe all that will be left is your test tubes and a special seed.
You will suffer great hardships just like our Lord did. I pray that you come out victorious through that hell.
When you survive, plant the special seed in the ground. A tree will form. Learn from that tree and its rings. In it you will see the seasons change.
On warm days, you will see its luxuriant leaves and awesome blooms with amazing fruits falling from its branches.
When in its dormant state, you will see it alight with all its branches reaching outward into the sky above. This tree will tell you all you need to know about life. It is The Tree Of Life. Look up at it – and see through its branches. You will be uplifted by the knowledge you get from the vast Universe. (Oh my, there will be so many wonderful worlds for you to see.)
As you progress in life you will notice that there are many ups and downs in everything. The shape of this tree will look like a curve of a bell – a Bell Curve. Its shape will tell you all that you need to know about everything. It will look like the bells we rang for freedom. It will remind you of the freedom each and every one of us shared.
You will notice some of the branches will fall and new ones will replace them. But, do not worry because the roots are strong and the tree will continue to grow. This is how our own Evolution worked back home.
The secrets of Extension in the branches also relate to the things you will experience. Everything in and out of yourself is Interconnected. You will especially learn the benefits of being part of a Family.
Light, Matter & Energy will lead you to a greater understanding that all things you see have Beginnings And Endings. All except, that magnificent universe that is everlasting – just like our hopes and dreams.
Oh how I envy the nature trips you will take in your new land. I will miss the canyons, caverns and ancient trees of my home. They always did outshine the massive buildings, cathedrals, sky towers, and elevators that we built.
Please remember that you came from a long line of people who acted on strong feelings, that were filtered through emotions and reason. Where nothing is felt, nothing really matters.
All of life is Love. The tree of love has many twists and turns in its branches. And what matters most is Love and the Courage to stand in the face of adversity.
If there is still a charge left in the battery, press the red button to repeat if necessary.
Your Hologram

She wanted to give suck to the newly born babes. -

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
Who can forget a little girl opening up a Castro Convertible Sofa in 1952. A sofa actually became a bed!
There are constant changes being made to all of life on the planet. Believe it or not we enjoy spending part of our life in a virtual world. This can take the form of many things from movies, t.v. series, to Facebook and the Internet. Then as time passes we expect to see the best things from our virtual world to turn into reality. Here are some things that have been in the works for the past fifty years and will become a way of life for our progeny. Here are some.
Humans will continue to be aided by artificial devices like limbs, hearts and possible brains. This will bring up many questions regarding THE SOUL. Where is it? On you? Above your head? This may lead to having people living inside a computers and even the hope of living life as spiritual beings.
INCREASES IN TECHNOLOGY
With advanced computer power doubling every year, will future generations have the power to create a pre-existing world just for their entertainment, or would they continue to chart a path for their own evolution, or both?
SPEED DEMONS
The Speed Of Light is the speed limit of the universe. We can get close to that speed using Negative Matter to move our spaceship closer to that limit. In other words to go from the Earth to Alpha Centauri it would take 4 light years to get there. And to go to deep space it would take billions of light years. But let's say that we have the ability to bend space using worm holes or warping space in front of a spaceship, then we could actually move faster than the speed of light. But, let's say that we can take two particles and Entangle them so that one receives information just like the other and separate them in Space/Time millions of light years apart and the ability to transmit information – from one particle to the other. This will put the speed of light to shame because you will arrive the same time you are sent.. Then you have INSTANT transfer of information.
Make a machine that can rebuild all your information. If you consider all the atomic and subatomic stuff that makes who you are, you then know that you are a bundle of information. Take that information and transfer the old you to the new you. (Unfortunately, the old you will have to disappear in the transfer. That is a little risky, hah.)
So “Beam me up Scotty” will become a reality. And if we can do that with a person, why not do it to a spaceship, too. Now that is way faster than the speed of light!
There are some nice things you could look for like clothing that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. There are the beginning of such uniforms available right now – if you can afford the huge price tag for a little A/C.
THE PAST IS PROLOGUE
We've come a long way baby. Just yesterday we transporting goods by horse and boat. Now major transport is by high speed trains and aircraft. In the past we slept on mats and ate over open fire pits. So much has changed. And so much will change again.
A in 1952 we watched a Castro Convertible Sofa actually became a bed! In the future there will be many creature comforts that won't take up much space in your quarters. These items will be made of regular things – but they all will have miniature-micro-supercomputers inside of them. That additional item will give them the ability to Program Matter. For example people will live in one room apartments and the quarters will actually change shape.
Let's say you wake up in your bedroom and you say, “Room, become a kitchen.” It will turn your bedroom into a kitchen ready to serve you breakfast.
You go to work, come home and you tell your kitchen, “Make a dining room for 10 people to eat a meal from soup to nuts.”
Later, you can easily turn it into a T.V. Theater. (Your dinner guest will greatly appreciate that gesture.)
Then, after you have a most enjoyable day, you can have it become your bedroom again.
YOUR NEW RESTROOM
Oh, I almost forgot: You will also need a restroom. Your new bathroom will not be like the one like you have today. This one gives you an examination by flushing the toilet and washing your hands. If, for example, it detects that you have a 2 % cancer growth in your kidney, it will print out a report and make a doctors appointment for you. When you get there you will be given a shot to kill that bad spot in your body. It will make today's medical doctors look like familial butchers or witch doctors. (And you will be pleased to know that there will be NO probs used.)
SEA WALLS
Storm Surges will be things of the past as Sea Walls will be made out of Shifting Matter that will get bigger and stronger when ocean surges turn wind mills faster and increase their power as the ocean pound the coasts. The increases in electrical power will make the miniature-micro- supercomputers inside the walls grow and protect our cities.
ANOTHER PLACE TO LIVE
Earthlings will need a new home just in case we have an earthquake or get hit by a big, bad asteroid. So we will Terraform Mars or one of Jupiter’s moons. Eventually we will eat up those resources and we will have to build a Ring World around the Sun made up of all the elements in the solar system. Some say it will have to be a complete Sphere – A Dyson Sphere.
ON BECOMING AN AVATAR
Today we have Metaverses where people can spend time in a alternate life using avatars to enjoy different experiences. One such computer simulation is called Second Life.
It is the hope of some people that in the future there will be options for people to give up their bodies and live inside their avatars or a computer. They hope to eventually become spirits that can travel everywhere in the Universe and hold – the hand of God?
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANET CIVILIZATIONS
Kardashev Scale is the measure of where a civilization is. A Type I Planet Civilization (1.0) should control its planet totally, a Type II Planet (2.0) will control its Solar System. Type III Planet (3.0) will have power over its Galaxy. Our current scale on Earth is (0.7) that means that we have not been able to control Earth's resources especially all the powers on Earth like the weather or volcanoes, or earthquakes.
NORMAL LIFE SPAN OF INTELLIGENT BEINGS
Now there are some who honestly believes that the life of a civilization is only 40,000 – 60,000 years. Some believers in a Supreme Being think that from the time that, “God breathed into Adam [Man] and Adam [Man] became a living Soul” to this present age maybe all we have left. Yet they hope to see a future time on Earth where Six Billion People can live like Millionaires before our time runs out.
And if they are right we only have a 1,000 years left. But we will achieve almost all the goals of a Type 1 Society. No so bad if you consider where we came from.
So that's the future for ya! Provided we make it through the next millennium to become that Type 1 Planet that we are destined to become.
MONEY FOR SPACE EXPLORATION
The countries that built the Pyramids, Stonehenge and the West Wall had no problem taking 25- 50% of their taxes to build these edifices. And now look at what we have done with our Space Program with only 1% of our Federal Budget. Just imagine what we could do if we chose to make our space exploration a priority. It can become 25% of our budget. Do you think our society would last another 40,000 years if we did that?
IN A NUTSHELL
Honestly, I just gave you the short history of the Universe and a glimpse at the Future. There is nothing I could say to make it any shorter or simpler. Just read it again.
Original lyrics by Ira Gershwin Additional Spaceship-XMAS-1 Lyrics

by Thomas Joseph DiSalvio
(recommended melody “Our Love Is Here To Stay” by George & Ira Gershwin)
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but forever and a day ...
That old spaceship crashed It crashed in the deep,
Dark depths of space
And test tubes flew
Up in the air and broke
Oh no, oh no but, wait...
Oh the radio and a telephone, movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go...
Oh yes the lights,
The lights went on
And the red recorder
Sounded, sounded
Loud and clear...
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going on a long, long way...
In the light of the day
We see the mountains on high And the rivers and seas again
In the night we look up
And view the starlight sky
All this beauty and
A chance to live again In peaceful bliss
And there is hope for tomorrow
Along came a mighty She-wolf who
Just happened to pass by
And looked inside
Inside to see
To see what happened
Then entered,
Entered the shipwreck
Found two newly born babes
She wanted to help them survive
In the light of the day
We see the mountains on high
And the rivers and seas again In the night we look up
And view the starlight sky
All this beauty and
A chance to live again
In peaceful bliss
And there is hope for tomorrow...
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but forever and a day
Our love is here to stay, our love is here to stay...
In love's new beginning
These stories were written to:
Express an opinion on history,
Use science to show that there is A Higher Power present in the universe,
Take a little trip to the future of life on Earth,
To present a modern day story of Christmas and,
To put forth a first mention of Jesus in history:
During Roman Times a song was sung by the faithful. This song gave them enough courage to die a martyr's death, rather than submit to that state's religion:
“Being found in human form
He humbled himself
And became obedient
Even in death
A death on a cross.” - Phil 2:8”
The Christians eventually overthrew that great empire.
