If Kolobians are "out there," they're as likely to have already died ...

ie, extraterrestrials. So much for intelligent life in the Universe?!

"A research team under the leadership of French astronomer Claudio Grimaldi recently published a paper suggesting that any extraterrestrial civilization we discover is likely to be long dead.

This possibility may sound bizarre. After all, how could we possibly tell whether a culture is still around when it’s hundreds or thousands of light-years away? In general we can’t. And yet there are reasons why Grimaldi and his team may be right. In fact, their argument is reminiscent of one I often hear in connection with the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

Since any alien radio message we might receive would have been lumbering through space at the finite speed of light — and since space is big — many folks assume that the signal must have been sent “millions of years ago.” The obvious corollary is that the alien broadcasters may have long since cashed in their chips."

Maybe The Kolob Observatory is working on this very question?

You forget that Kolob uses "In a twinkling of an eye" technology. As they say at the FAIRMormon Conference and Survivalist Expo, that is a real game-changer.

Yeah, real, actual scientists (non Holy Ghost bearing non-Mormons) only have come up with electricity, Relativity, Calculus, Quantum Mechanics, which has only given us lasers, television, radio, MRI machines, modern medicine, telescopes, chemistry, genetic engineering. That Mormon "Twinkling of an eye" technology however.....WHOA baby! Very valuable useful stuff for the world's inhabitants. They ought to be more thankful than they are for such a God-send.

Step by step Brother Sofee. First, we need to build impulse drives before we can move on to warp technology. Right now I would settle for a matter replicator to sit next to my computer desk. I would say, "A gyro and a can of diet coke".

I'm a Kolobian!

My grandfather liked "If you could hie to Kolob in the twinkling of an eye," so much he had it sung at his funeral.

It seems Mormon God is within this universe's time/space and in fact lives somewhere in our very own Milky way.

It strikes me of late, listening to various creationist debates, that Mormon God is not Christianities (at least creationist Christians) God who must live outside of this universe's time/space.

An infinity of God the Father, Grand Father, Grand Grand Father gods totally breaks down at the big bang

And yet there is something very consistent in the 'white light' that people who experioence NDE's go through on their way to the other side and back, regardless of what religious convictions they may have held in life, if any.

I suspect that the other side isn't all that far from where we are. It's just in another dimension of parallel space and time.

AmyJo,

You'll probably enjoy this Fermi Paradox video if you haven't seen it yet:

eta: TL;DR - If Elohims and Elohers are for all intents and purposes Type III Civilization gods and goddesses then evidence for their civilization would be all over the place. Planets would be talking to one another, ships would be zipping about, dyson vacuums spheres would be abundant, so on and so forth.

There's nothing. At all. Mormonism's own Plan of Salvation disproves the existence of their own god.
