What is the age of the Enterprise (NCC-1701)?

Just look like doodles you're doing for fun. And if you're having fun doing it, then it really doesn't matter what I think.
The book may not be evil, but has some pretty evil ideas in it (slavery okay, anyone?) in stark counterpoint to all the enlightened ישוע/yēšūă' stuff. But we digress...
I am. Thank you. Meant to have fun AND make relevant replies to what is being said.

I tend to think most of us are smart enough to know what we should and shouldn't be doing. Including slavery.
I don't understand why?
I should hope so.I tend to think most of us are smart enough to know what we should and shouldn't be doing. Including slavery.

Well, there are some passages where no subversion is needed for evil to occur. Leviticus comes to mind.
Jesus was mostly cool, although he seemed to have delusions of grandeur.
What is a Jesus?
Because the words coming out of his mouth were not his own
A figure in ancient Terran mythology. IIRC he was a son of thunder god Zeus. He rode a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer and brought gifts to children during the winter solstice. He was commemorated in a cannibalistic ritual known as Eucharist. Mostly forgotten by 24th century.
Books aren't evil, just the ideals written inside them. Except the Necromonicon, that thing'll bite your face off.

Try reading the Old Testament some time. The alleged "Lord" makes Hitler look like the CEO of Goodwill.
Ah, that makes sense (to a fictional Star Trek 24th century character).
Good explanation that would "fit" in the period (24th century).

"Pronoun trouble" clarified. The correct interrogative pronoun for a proper noun then referred to by the pronoun "he" is not a "what" but "who/whom".
You're welcome.
Isn't that the whole point of the New Testament? "Ignore all that crazy fire and brimstone crap, it's all about peace and love man." The trouble is, too many people agree with the fire and brimstone stuff, as it appeals to base human nature.
But I digress.
Ah, I stand corrected. That's pretty significant overall: not only was there a five-year mission, it was "Kirk's" (rather than the ship's), and it was an historical event possibly unparalleled in Starfleet history, at least until that point.
Either Pike and April and the dozens of other other starship commanders did nothing of comparable scope (despite Pike apparently being in command for twice as long, unless he did a stint or three elsewhere in between), or then they tried to but luck wouldn't have it that their respective five years should include such impressive random encounters. I'd rather that it be the former - that they didn't spend comparable periods of time in such depths of space, where it hopefully is statistically inevitable that fantastic things be encountered. The version where Kirk just gets lucky (that is, with millions dying in such interesting ways on his watch) would IMHO lessen Kirk's own contribution in addition to being a statistically implausible fluke.
