If We Were To Start Today On An Organized And Well-supported Space Program I Believe A Practical Passenger Rocket Can Be Built And Tested Within Ten Years.

In This Modern World Of Ours Many People Seem To Think That Science Has Somehow Made Such Religious Ideas As Immortality Untimely Or Old Fashioned. I Think Science Has A Real Surprise For The Skeptics. Science, For Instance, Tells Us That Nothing In Nature, Not Even The Tiniest Particle, Can Disappear Without A Trace. Nature Does Not Know Extinction. All It Knows Is Transformation. If God Applies This Fundamental Principle To The Most Minute And Insignificant Parts Of His Universe, Doesn't It Make Sense To Assume That He Applies It To The Masterpiece Of His Creation, The Human Soul?

The Universe As Revealed Through Scientific Inquiry Is The Living Witness That God Has Indeed Been At Work.
