I guess the difference is that we've already been into orbit and on the Moon (and robots don't count or something). If we do go to Mars and the Rapture doesn't come, then it will surely come after we go outside the Solar System.

People finally getting the opportunity to go to Mars. In about 20-30 years we could truly have the first alien ever be born on another planet and come to Earth. In my personal opinion I think the end times would happen first.
You just stated that according to your religion the world will end before we settle humans on Mars...
So if we settle people on Mars and the world doesn't end...
Did we just disprove your religion?

have that nonsense.
Anyhow, it's irrelevant to the point.
If you make a testable prediction and say "if my religion [my faith] is true then
this will happen" then you have made a falsifiable claim that can [and probably
will be] tested. And if that prediction does not come true then if your reasoning
was sound you religion has been shown to be false.
This is the main reason religions and religious people don't make falsifiable claims
very often because people will go out and test them.
IF it is true that humans settling on Mars not setting off an apocalypse will not
cause you to question your 'faith' [religion] then that isn't something that your
religion actually predicts. And you don't actually truly believe it.
I think I brought up one issue a year or so ago...
Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians has the dead rising up to the clouds after the trumpet blows. Would colonists' bodies buried on Mars go to Martian clouds after the trumpet sounds on that planet, or would they be carried through the vacuum of space from Mars to Earth's atmosphere by the Lord to join with Earth's corpses there?

Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ is not doing anything but his providence/sovereignty in saving you from His wrath before the foundations of the world.

So, no.

So, no.

Happens all the time on this forum.
