Space elevator

Today, I was thinking about the possibility of an elevator to outerspace and it is reasonably possible, and yet people assume it is impossible, regardless of the science that proves it. It harkens the memory of a tower of Babel. I am sure it was foremost in your  thoughts when you read the title of this post even. And that is what made me really think about.

It was said that the Bible was not what it is claimed to have been, and that it's stories are not first hand accounts but tales recorded much later by scholars, be they religious scholars, to help an agenda. In this vein, the religious undertone of this tale is that man must be that man never assume they can perform on an equal level as God, the omnipotent. Because men tried to assert their challenging power, their languages were confused, teaching them humility and need. It also explained how so many languages came to be, like the great Greek Epics and stories of diety explain anything that seemed magical on could not be explained by any other means yet known. Thereby, man could explain Everything, and was born the common saying, that it was the will of the gods.

But, while I was thinking about a group of relgious scribes writting stories to assert control over their anxious peoples, I thought, "well played. Centuries later, we still believe that man cannot reach God." That is when I realized that my very disbelief is a testimony that Bible stories are true, wether or not they are factual, or as we, modernly consider accurate.

Sure, there are many things that are possible, but ought not be done, and the thing that holds me in my place is not the story of a group of men who united to try to achieve a thing greater than God, it is that it is better to be humble, that is true, ragardless how it is learned and it has not become a variable in any great equation that I know of yet,  but it restrains my belief and by so doing has more power than any scientific fact.
