what are the biblical arguments FOR man in space?

Genesis 11:4, The tower of babel was to reach Heaven, NOT space. "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

Genesis 11:6: "...now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

Space is NOT Heaven, Heaven is hospitable, and space is very inhospitable. ( Cold, lack of oxygen, dangerous cosmic rays. )

    I do not believe it addresses the issue of space. However, the attempt to reach the "heavens" with the tower of Babel was exactly that and not simply an effort to get way up high. It was humanity's attempt to get to god, not God's salvation doing the work. In that era mountains were seen as sacred sites and the home of gods, and so they built their own. It was pure hubris!

    But of course - according to the Bible Heaven MUST be in the sky or God would not have minded them building a tower. If Heaven was in another dimension then it wouldn't matter how high their tower was they couldn't reach it so according to the Bible Heaven has to be in the sky - but of course we know that it isn't .............
