My specialty: Science fiction based on science, not fantasy.

You will find no stable wormholes, warp drives, hyper-drives, force fields, or transporter beams here! My stories are based on technologies that currently exist, are actively being researched, or are plausible extensions of known capabilities.

My latest publication:

Martian Red Blood / Lunar Labyrinth, a collection of two science fiction murder mysteries in one volume: https://david-seldon-moore.blog/martian-red-blood-lunar-labyrinth

Jesus was NOT the Son of God

When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, God declared that Jesus was in fact his son: And when Jesus was baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw God’s Spirit descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven…
