This Week Is the 50th Anniversary of “Star Trek” September 4, 2016

StarTrekNext Thursday will be the 50th anniversary of the wildly popular Star Trek. For over ten years, I never hardly paid any attention to it. Then I met its creator, Gene Roddenberry. We sat together on an airplane having a very stimulating conversation, just the two of us, for nearly an hour about the possibility of aliens in space and if they have visited earth. We discussed if there are angels. More importantly, is there a God who made the universe? I posted about this experience on October 8, 2014. Click here to read it.

GeneroddenberryGene Roddenberry died in 1991. But because of his son, Rod Roddenberry, it’s not going to be just television reruns of Star Trek from now on. Rod is an executive producer of a new television series of Star Trek that will appear on CBS All Access in January. And a 13th film, Star Trek Beyond, was released July 22. Rod says, “My father used to say, ‘We’ve got a universe. There are plenty of stories in the universe to be told.'”

Yes, and I’ve got a whopper story of the universe and heaven that I’m telling in a book I’m writing. Did I get some inspiration from Gene Roddenberry to do this? I think it’s coming from God, and it will be unprecedented.
