Such a city with walls 216 feet thick and 1379 x 1379 x 1379 miles can travel through the universe to other galaxies and solar systems.

Ummm.... You said "Even at the speed of light it would take thousands of years.".
Lets do a simple math problem:
If one light year is the distance light travels in a vacuum, and Tau Ceti e is 11.9 light years from our sun. How many years would it take you to reach Tau Ceti e if you are traveling at the speed of light?
Your fantasy life tells you that you can travel at the speed of light, but nothing in science agrees with you.

I never said I expect an alien species to arrive at earth after 20,000 years. Putting words in my mouth is quite a dishonest practice.
I was attempting to illustrate that aliens (assuming they exist) could have feasibly started their journey a long time ago. Time + speed = distance. Add more time, you get a longer distance.
How can aliens feasibly start something when they don't exist? Pure fantasy. Hugh Ross has gone over 800 variables for life to exist on another planet and when multiplied together make life on another planet impossible, for there are no enough planets in the universe. Your expectation of the return of aliens is pure fantasy and delusion that you use to reject God.

What technology are you referring to?
Are you aware of the rate that technology progresses? Within one generation the human race went from being exclusively terrestrial, to unpowered primitive gliders, to the Saturn 5 rocket capable of reaching approximately 24,500 miles per hour. No deity(deities) required, just science.
Or are you asserting that there is a limit to the extent technology can progress?
There is no technology that humans have that can sustain life indefinitely without the sun as we see with the New City with God and the Lamb as its center that will arrive on the scene after the millennial reign of Christ on earth for 1000 years.

So essentially anyone who doesn't agree with you is crazy?
Correct since it is crazy to believe in aliens since aliens are proven false.

I think you meant for not from.
And could you cite me the peer reviewed scientific publication you are getting this information from?
Kind regards: ~Robert~
From for tomatoe tomato. I know Hugh Ross as done the work and cites many of those variables in his books. I am satisfied with that.
