in one sentence shakes the foundation of all science writing whether "real"science or scify. And what he says goes deep into the psyche of man because in man is the need to satisfy this very deep yearning. A yearning spawning a mind numbing number of stories, legends and tales that are one step beyond most of our own experiences. What did John say that was so edgy, so dramatic, so mysterious?

Translation Please!
"That which was from the beginning" (John 1:1 - Genesis 1:1, yes that is the beginning John is talking about).The "that which" (the being which) "was from the beginning, which we heard",(It talked in John's language) "Which we saw with our eyes" (John and others saw it.) "We felt with our had, concerning the word of life."
John said in the next few verses that this being he and some others saw, heard, touched, was a person sent from the Creator of all we know. Not just a being that helped populate the earth like some pre-Egyptians space landing pyramid (Star Gate), but the being that created all things! The Creator of the Universe came into John's town and talked, walked and if you read further you find he ate with John too. A being that has eternal life. A being powerful enough to blow himself out of death. The creator of all things can't be held by that which was created by Him.
Governments make secret buildings and areas to hold these mysteries. Books tell about their destructive force, and usually they are all wanting to wipe out the human race. And movies scare us spit-less with death and destruction except in "The Day the Earth Still". I mean the original.
But this being came to earth and proclaimed peace and freedom to captives and health to the sick. The only destruction he promised was to the evil things the scify writers describe to us that are waiting in some dark abandon house or the backseat of our car. They are the works of the devil. It is all contained in John's report. An eye witness account, a daily journal, of his personal experience with this celestial being. You can read it for yourself.
THE Creator in human form ate, drank, talked, slept, and got mad in John's lifetime and mostly in his presence. It wasn't a "visit" to the mother ship for probing. It wasn't on a dark and lonely country road or a pattern of lights over a large town or a farm house. Or a large bug maybe a coach roach that was living in human skin. This was someone John lived with for three years! Night and day he was traveling on the road with him. If you have ever traveled extensively with some one you know how close you can get! But John found love. He witnessed eternal life. He saw the power of our Creator. He heard words of reconciliation. And greatest of all, he felt that deep, deep yearning to be in touch by our celestial Father happen for him and others (read "The Heavenly Father's Search"). And greatest, greatest of all is he claimed it could happen to us, you and me. Yes, we are not alone on this pale blue dot adrift in timeless space.
Personally, I am an eye witness of that transforming touch. I, like John, have felt it, touched it, heard it and at times seen it. It is the eternal being in the form of Godly love in my life and others like me. The experience is there for everyone. God sent his son into our world because he felt our yearning for Him. The greatest scify story ever told is in the Bible. Read it some late night. It will thrill you. It is the genuine thriller.
