4 Quotes by Suzanne Olsson

The old prophets filled our imaginations with gods and commandments and holy scriptures , with glowing descriptions of life in Heaven and among the stars. Because of them, we are on our way there. Perhaps that has been their intention all along.

We still carry our tribal baggage as we walk barefoot beside our camels and donkeys, clinging to old prophets and scriptures in the face of our own uncertainty, as though the answers to our future are somewhere in our past. Perhaps it is so.

We are down to just three choices: (1.) God made us exactly as told by the Scriptures (you pick the scripture or holy book that you prefer)(2.) God and the angels are ancient aliens who visited earth from a galaxy far far away and tampered with our genetics.(3.) We are the product of science and natural biology. There was no spiritual intervention, ancient prophets were all delusional, and God does not exist.

We'll do very well in space some day. We have an abundance of untapped creative geniuses in tents and mud huts around the world, waiting for their chance to help us settle new worlds among the stars.
