Ponderings

What if there are more galaxies than ours? Suppose there are Snickers, Babe Ruth, and Almond Joy galaxies out there, in addition to our little Milky Way. Each is God’s little experiment. Maybe He tweaked each establishment just a little — perhaps improving each time, perhaps not.
Like a dutiful scientist, he watches over each galaxy. Are they abiding by His commandments? Did Eve of Earth in the Snickers galaxy not eat of the forbidden fruit? Are we as I write this participating in some sort of intergalactic competition? Perhaps us landing on our moon in 1969 would have impressed Him if the Earthlings of Almond Joy hadn’t already accomplished that feat in 1943 (they weren’t entangled in a second world war). We can comfort ourselves in the fact that the Babe Ruth variation has not yet made it into space and haven’t yet located their Pluto.
Well, I like to think that we’ll catch up with the Almond Joy in the next quarter century and learn a little something from the Snickers natural resource conservation efforts.
