Where is it? Can this explain why mitt romney acts funny?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Mormonism may be strange, but by golly are they good at making themselves believe that they're happy.

I think most heavily indoctrinated religious folks do that. Makes me a little sad thinking of all those cognitive resources going to waste

Maybe, but they've still got it backwards.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Or gravity. God pulled him up towards himself. Or he pulled himself up towards himself. Like a black hole. Jesus could have turned to the assembled disciples and said "I will now enter god's large and powerful black hole, where I will reside for all eternity."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

According to the made-up Book of Abraham, Kolob is the star closest to the throne of Elohim (God the Father). It's assumed that this throne is on some planet that orbits Kolob. I would've liked to see the crew of the Enterprise show up on Elohim's doorstep during one of their adventures.

Use the Starry Sky System NASA has, it's available to everyone. It runs all the calculations for you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Starry Night is a commercially-available astronomy suite. There is no evidence that NASA uses it, nor any reason for them to do so since they have the resources to collect the data that SN and all other planetaria use in their databases. All SN does is take that data and calculate planetary positions for specified dates and times, and what may be visible in the sky for a given latitude and epoch. Very useful and hugely recommended for the purpose of this thread, though there are far easier and cheaper packages available, but it's interesting that nowhere in their documentation is there any apparent mention of NASA as a client. Surely that would be a huge selling point?
