Creation Moment 10/19/2021 - "Lucy" Mission?

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God... Romans 8:7

"The Lucy mission is studying asteroids. What does that have to do with fake human evolution?

No supposed hominin fossil has garnered as much iconic attention as Lucy, the fake human ancestor dig up by Donald Johanson. 

The Lucy mission, planning to visit 10 asteroids, launched this morning from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Its mission is to study the Trojan asteroids that swarm in stable pockets within Jupiter’s orbit. Right off the bat, the BBC News drags in an evolutionary angle to a mission that will be looking at dead rocks, not life:

The Trojan clusters are “thought to be remnants of the primordial material that formed the outer planets,” according to a Facebook post by NASA.

“The Lucy Mission hopes to expand our understanding of solar system evolution by visiting these 4.5-billion-year-old planetary ‘fossils,’” NASA says.

It is believed that the asteroids are robust in carbon compounds and may provide novel information about the formation of the planets, and possibly the development of life here on Earth, according to Reuters.

Reporter Nick Gilbertson explains why the mission was named Lucy:

The probe was named after the 3.2 million-year-old skeletal remains found in Ethiopia during a 1974 expedition led by Donald Johnson, according to Reuters. The remains were named Lucy after the hit Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

Missions used to be named after famous scientists, like Kepler, Galileo, and Hubble." CEH
