Quix, I liked your post, and I quote you:
How about this.
I have found that God is almost always willing to meet us part way.
HOWEVER, IT’S ALWAYS STILL ESSENTIALLY ON HIS TERMS, IN HIS WAY, IN HIS TIMING.
PLEASE CONSIDER
asking Him
TO MAKE HIMSELF REAL TO YOU IN TERMS YOU CAN TRUST AND MAKE SOME USEFUL SENSE OUT OF.
Now the trust will involve some faith.
HE HAS DECLARED THAT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, TO PLEASE HIM.
HE WILL NOT REMOVE THAT PRIORITY.
However, He certainly knows we are but flesh and quite flawed in our capacities to apprehend Him in a functional way. He is virtually always willing to meet us part way
AS LONG AS we recognize HIS being Almighty God in terms of authority, rights, etc.
Otherwise, there is no order, all is meaningless chaos.
I would not guess how long He might take to respond.
He tends to do so when we least expect it and in ways we least expect.
THEN we have a choice—to accept the evidence, or not.
It is usually not emphatic undeniable proof. He requires too much faith to totally remove all need for faith.
However, HE DOES, IS VERY GOOD AT providing SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, SUFFICIENT FOUNDATION for faith in ways very tailor made to our unique person and experiences.
I will certainly pray accordingly.
I will ask Him to touch you in the area of your deepest need, your deepest longing, your specific unique personality in ways that only He could know.
Others will be praying as well.
We shall see.
I join in your prayer, dear brother in Christ!
THX MUCH YOU 2.

I think you might amend your sentence . . . ‘no living beings we are familiar with could survive such G forces with the technologies we are capable and aware of.’
Time will tell.
Housemate wonders if you are still around?
