I took my Dad to see the new Star Trek movie last week. Now both of us are die-hard fans (he being fond of the original 60s series while I gew up under the tutelage of "The Next Generation).
With regards to the new film, we both loved it. The time travel subplot allowed for the writers to obviously have a degree of freedom in creating what served as both a prequel and an original story without having to compromise established continuity. I guess my only gripe is that the main characters are portrayed as being considerably younger than their original incarnation i.e., Chris Pine's Captain Kirk is portrayed as being only 25 years old whereas William Shatner's Kirk is at least in his thirties.
Anywhoo, back to what this blog is for: the discussion of theology. While surfing through YouTube, I found this short but interesting video from the Original Series. Surely with a mind that is so Rational, Mr. Spock should at least have something to contribute with regards to the Arminian/Calvinist debate about Romans 9:10-13 and unconditional election, right?
