What?!! I thought that elephant aliens really invaded Earth but cunning humans dodged them away. But back in 2009 there was a TV show to be called "Virtuality" by Ronald D. Moore who just finished doing Battlestar Galactica and was writing all these scripts for potential TV shows (until he nabbed "Outlander") and one of them was this SF show about crew traveling in space using atom bombs. Now the show was never picked so I guess the never-picked-pilot is now a TV movie?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
