What Does God Need With A Starship?

(I’m in my early teens and have recently become obsessed with Star Trek. My family is also very conservative and Christian, though my dad and I are both geeks.)

Dad: *concerned with my obsession* “You know, [My Name],there’s nothing in the bible about Star Trek.”

Me: “I disagree! I distinctly remember a scene where Jesus was beamed up!”

(My dad gave up at that point, laughing and saying he couldn’t argue with my logic!)
