Wow. I'd never heard that Christian Science (I giggle every time I read that) teaches that there are "infinite planets with infinite races". I did a thorough search for planets , Ctrl +F, at the Wikipedia entry for Christian Science, but could find none. I wonder if this guy has melded bits of LDS teachings with his own dogma? Just to make it more fun.

Fuck no! I dragged the slider under the player forward to different spots as the video loaded. Still, I saw and heard too much, mostly because I was rather confused by the Christian Science puppets talking about planets as if they were Mormons. I still don't know what's going on.

Christian Science was probably influenced by some of the same ideas as the early Mormon church. When Mary Baker Eddy began her career as a religious teacher, she was toying with the idea of mesmerism (Look it up; it's not a concept I understand very well and I'd only confuse you more) which was highly influential at that time. Similar schools of thought were making the rounds in in New England and Europe at the time so it's not unusual to find similar threads of thought.

OK, that was the weirdest video I've ever seen. Christian Science does not teach infinite planets and infinite races. I looked in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, the textbook of Christian Science for mentions of planets and found these two verses.
"Suns and planets teach grand lessons. The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns naturally towards the light."
"The planets have no more power over man than over his Maker, since God governs the universe; but man, reflecting God's power, has dominion over all the earth and its hosts."
The second verse is a rebuke of astrology.

Dude, it's LA Xtian Science. Those dudes smoke crack in cheap glass pipes with Ma Eddy's face molded on the side. You take your way to awaken mortal thought, they'll take theirs.
