Star Trek's Philosophy and My Viewpoint

TOS Episode "Bread and Circuses"

Director Ralph Senensky notes
"Both Gene Roddenberry and Gene Coon
were writing on that show
as we were shooting.
I don't remember what the problem was,
except that we were doing the Roman arena
in modern times with television.
I do remember that my concern was
that the whole thing
about the "sun"
which they talked about from early on,
might not be a mystery when we got to the end.
We didn't want to tip
that we were doing a Christ story
from the word go.
That took some doing
because it wasn't really in the script,
but they did it.
They were sealing up the loose ends,
because originally
when they were talking about the sun
you knew right away
that they were talking
about the son of God."

Dorothy Fontana commented

"Bread and Circuses"

"Certainly there was a nice philosophy going on there
with the worship of the son,"says Dorothy Fontana,
"and then the indication that it was the son of God:
that Jesus or the concept had appeared on other planets.
I thought that was a nice touch.
There have been other stories written with the same theme
as the main point, but just adding it at the end
really seems quite nice."

I am not saying that Gene Roddenberry embraced anyone's beliefs but his own.

"Writing for the television audience,"
he explained in 1988, "does the same thing
as the great sculptors and painters
and composers also do.
What you do is say to the world,
'Hey, these are things as I see it!"
These are my comments.
This is how I see the world.'
And you do this with utter selfness,
which is what an artist should always do.
All writers should be selfish and say,
'This is the way that I see it.'"

Einstein helped turned around the direction science was going in.
He was one of the smartest scientist known.
He made the statement "I'm not much with people
and I'm not a family man,

I want my peace.
I want to know how God created the world
I am not interested in this or that phenomenon,
in the spectrum of this or that element.

I want to know His thoughts,
the rest are details."

He did not believe that Jesus had already
come to save the world.

But he had faith in something he could not see.
No one will prove to anyone the existence of God or Jesus
without faith.

So if you had Jesus' body you still would not believe!

I only used Einstein's name because he is so well known
and easily recognized as an intelligent man.

Did I say Einstein was perfect. No.
Why argue the matter?

My previous biology professor stated that
he used to believe in God,
but he no longer believed.

So, do not tell me that a intelligent man like Einstein
could not change his views had his intelligence so inclined him.

Among Einstein's contibutions to science
were three new fields to physics.
And he helped to turn history around in more ways than one.

Religion is a general term Thus my avoidance of the term above.
Example: Jones was religious in responding to almost all
the comments on Einstein.

You can not reach someone who is in denial of God.

Thus my final statement was saying
even if you had proof--you would not believe.
