He ascended to heaven on mist vapour, realised that heaven wasn't in the sky and died a painful death from a mixture of freezing and asphyxiation?

Sounds un-theological to me.

What is Judeo-Christianity

The Christian Faith of Judea, and perhaps also the Judean Christian Faith.

I don't know if any of that makes sense, but I think it would be an interesting take on it.

EDIT: I think setting something in stone by observing it may be one of those bits of quantum mechanics where the map is confused for the territory. Whether you observe something (with the possible exception of burglaries) or not does not really impede or affect its occurrence in the macro scale, does it? That's kind of the point of Schrodinger's Cat.
I thought so too, but there's a really weird effect that makes me unsure on that point, where continually observing certain particle can basically hold it in stasis. It's really weird.

Fresh railgun news: Slavs to test 6th generation space combat fighter with railguns and laser beams that melt jet fuel

​"In particular, the electromagnetic impulse, with which the SHF’s weapon will be hitting the targets, will be so powerful that it will be extremely difficult to protect a human, a pilot from his own weaponry,"
I'm not surprised it's dangerous when the thing went through what, a dozen steel sheets? That is amazingly cool

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Religion is a weapon. Used to protect, but often to harm.
