ISTANBUL
A popular televangelist in Turkey has condemned the European Space Agency’s (ESA) successful landing of the Philae probe on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, describing the mission as “maniacal.”
Most Earthlings are watching the comet-conquering landing craft with awe, but Ahmet Mahmut Ünlü, popularly known as “Cübbeli” (Robed) among his followers in Turkey, declared his skepticism of the mission in his latest televised sermon.
“It isn’t worth the expense. Is there water in Mars? Is there meat? ... These are maniacal issues,” Cübbeli said, expressing disdain for all forms of space exploration. He also voiced his belief that “the world will end” before a human steps on the Red Planet.
“They waste their money. Give me $100,000 and I will tell you about everything,” Cübbeli added.
Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Epiphany 3 Centurion - "Here behold the
attitude of faith toward Christ: it sets before itself absolutely nothing
but the pure goodness and free grace of Christ, without seeking and
bringing any merit. For here it certainly cannot be said, that the leper
merited by his purity to approach Christ, to speak to him and to invoke his
help. Nay, just because he feels his impurity and unworthiness, he
approaches all the more and looks only upon the goodness of Christ. This is
true faith, a living confidence in the goodness of God."
