Why is science fiction so in vogue?
Maybe because we seek a richer, more varied sense of environment. Perhaps mankind intuitively longs to see the whole cosmos as having pockets of life.
Whether this is so or not, a larger sense of being—of reality—won't come merely through letting human imagination range the universe to planets and galaxies in bizarre spaceships or time machines. It won't come just from men stepping on Mars. It will come through spiritual sense moving toward the infinite universe of Spirit. "Advancing spiritual steps in the teeming universe of Mind lead on to spiritual spheres and exalted beings,"Science and Health, p. 513; Mary Baker Eddy tells us in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
