okay yes there are aliens they have been found and there is proof. Even if you dont believe the life they found on that metor from mars then just think of it the odds are there has to be life out there. Also vag no one said anything about intelagent life here

Vagrant

Aliens haven't been found, but there is proof kevinok.

I personally sorta think that if there are aliens, that they're like 'hands of god' sorta thing

Hand of the Castle
08-05-2003, 03:43 PM
If there are aliens and they're hands of God sorta thing, that somewhat is confusing. Because I thought we, the humans, were god's last and finest creation, etc. By being hands of god, wouldn't that mean that they're somewhat superior to us? And that we're not the last and finest?

Hand of the Castle
08-05-2003, 03:49 PM
Mars and micro-organisms... Not the exact aliens you think of but aliens none the less... Just because they're not some predatorial killer psycho alien with a killer tongue doesn't mean that they're not aliens...

Vagrant
08-05-2003, 03:49 PM
They're controlled by him, meaning they're not the last and finest... Btw, who says we're the finest? lol

What I found odd is that most ppl with credentials who say they saw ufo's, saw them usually disabling things closely related to ICBM's...

Hand of the Castle
08-05-2003, 03:51 PM
If they are his "hands" and they do destroy our weapons of destruction, then there may be truth that god exists... But it's pretty far fetched...

EDIT: I thought I read that we were his last and greatest creation somewhere in the bible, but it's been ages since my last RE lesson so you'll have to double check for me... I'd check but I'm too lazy. :P :mrgreen:

Hand of the Castle

IF he controlled our thoughts, it'll be hyper contradictory because he supposedly gave us freedom... If he controls us, I don't think many of you will agree that that's freedom...

the micro organisms found on mars were dead. God exists (capitalize it, ppl. were not egyptians). He doesnt control us (if he did, we would always be praying, not on the internet).

cussing isnt really a sin, i dont think. why should words considered taboo by society be a sin? its only a "sin" if someone you should respect tells you not to say it then its a sin, such as your parents telling you not to.

Which in most cases parents tell children not to swear... so... blech...

it's not the word that is bad it's the idea behined it that is bad

Kevinok is right about that. If each word had a different meaning, then they wouldn't be cuss.

God.. definately.. im not gonna get into a huge argument about this or anythign but yea.. its obvious

kevinok
08-06-2003, 12:58 AM
well each different way the say god or lord means a different god. The reason for this is that the bible is maybe up from many different versions of the same story (sorry i dont mean it that way but thats the only word i can think of) from different familys. I know that is not how the bible said it was done but if you read around you would see that what im saying is true. If you read the bible closely you can see storys repete but are alittle different.

theryman
08-06-2003, 01:02 AM
well, theirs Abba, God, Lord, Father, Almight one, Alpha, Omega, Saviour, Messiah, Redeemer, Friend, Prince of Peace, Jesus, Christ, Lamb of God, Ancient One, Holy Spirit, King of Kings, and Holy Ghost to name a few, but their all reffering to one of the 3 parts of God.

kevinok
08-06-2003, 01:06 AM
but there are also the spellings of GOD, God, Lord, and The Lord. Each of those mean a different god

theryman

u dont beleive in God? well, all i can do is wonder wat has happened in your life. how were you brought up. wat could be so horrible that it made u deny the 1 person that can help you. the bible is more than i holy book. it is a historical document. if all those people saw Jesus die for us on the cross, and saw him, walking out of the tomb, saw the holes in his hands, the scar on his side, how can all those ppl be wroong. try praying. believ me, it helps. i am goin on vacation on thursday, but i will read it. i will prove to you that there is a God, that Jesus died for us, and, that if u dont change ur mind, u will, unfortunately, burn in hell. for Jesus says "The only way to my Father, is through Me."

I guess the entire point's having faith, etc. But you know, it's hard to keep a grip on it for so long and not being answered... And we aren't truly sure if it's a historical document, I mean, the other religions have their books don't they? Are you saying that all of those are wrong?

What you believe isn't neccesarily what other people believe. Some people question if a god exists. It doesn't make them a bad person, they just don't know is there is a higher power. As I have said, there is no way to prove that there is a god, and vice versa. Burn in hell? For what sins? Of not believing in the same god as you do? And yes, alot of people believe in ONE god, and what makes you think they all believe in the same one? I could go and on... but im gonna eat. :lol:

Bah! I'm not in an arguing mood today so I'll say this... If god does exist, as in the god we're all talking about, and if we don't believe in us he sends us to burn in hell, then what the hell kind of god is he!? Seriously, just because some of us are wayward, does it really mean we should burn in hell? I mean, sure I understand that if I kill someone in cold blood, poof, hell, I'm fine with that, that makes sense and all, but if just because we lost faith and became wayward we HAVE to burn in hell, well I'd be pretty pissed... There's such a thing as rehabilition for crying out loud!

Well that's my two cents for today...

I disagree with Jews and Muslims i won't say they are "wrong" but i do not believe they will go to heaven.

Then you haven't looked into your religion very well, because your own precious Bible states very specifically that the Jews *are* going to Heaven.

I do believe in the big bang and there is proof that it happen

okay lets look at the universe every second it's getting bigger. Also radio teloscopes have picked up echos on a blast

actually, there is no way to tell if the universe is getting bigger, if it was getting bigger, it would be a finite space. since we have never gotten to the "end" of the universe, there is no way to tell.

CastleFreak04
08-07-2003, 05:06 PM
the universe is infinite

Namhet
08-07-2003, 05:10 PM
Actually, the universe is getting bigger (we can tell by the red shift of stars). Red shift is waves getting bigger as objects move farther away. Also, we know by this that the universe's expansion is actually speeding up.

there is no way to prove it is infinite or finite.....we havent built a space shuttle capable of getting even past mars w/ humans in it...so we will probably never know....

well atleast im not the only person that knows anything

Namhet

The universe is expanding at near the speed of light. Therefore, if it keeps speeding up:

It may reach the speed of light (i know the theory of general relativity says this is not so- but the theory of general relativity also predicted its own downfall) and stop at the speed... therefore, no light would be moving relative to us, so everything would appear stagnant, nothing would move.

If we get faster than the speed of light, we would be plunged into eternal darkness. the question is though- Which, to you, is scarier?

kevinok
08-07-2003, 05:48 PM
also you would age slower

Namhet
08-07-2003, 05:50 PM
Well, there would be no time, as our entire concept of time is based on light.

And i also think this thread is stupid. Why cant god and aliens co-exist?

tiritaka
08-07-2003, 06:00 PM
yeah, i think there are aliens but i don't believe god.............

this whole expanding thing it's true, at least i believe it, science can tell it beacuse they can see that the planets are "moving" and getting far from each other all the time....they have their way to know, don't ask me, i ain't no scientist...........

There's also an theory that one day the sun Helium will end, causing lots of chemicals reactions and it will make the sun mass expand in an scary speed and size, "eating" the earth and the other sollar system planets, but i don't know if that's true.............

Namhet
08-07-2003, 06:05 PM
The sun's hydrogen will run out eventually, and it is a boderline size where it might be a white dwarf/neutron star or it might be a red giant/black hole.

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 06:19 PM
Let me explain...

Scientists believe that the big bang occurred because of the current motion of the galaxies. They are all moving away from a specific point in the universe, which is supposedly where the explosion took place.

As for the sun dying. Tritaka is right. It will run out of hydrogen (not helium) and it will turn a dark red. It will then expand to engulf the inner planets. But because it is a medium star, it will then lose it's gravity collapse back to the size of Earth (it will have the same mass though) become a white dwarf which glows only because of it's former energy, then once the glow is gone, it will become a black dwarf. A spoonful of the material is supposed to have the mass of a pickup truck.

Vagrant

I think of science as an understanding of God's work. That's partly why I like it so much.

Namhet
08-07-2003, 06:26 PM
Vag- The sun's size is a kind of in-between size, they dont know its starting mass (or amybe they do- a lot of my physics stuff is dated, im too poor to buy newer books :| ) but im not sure if the diameter is enough to escape being a black hole... so yeah.

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 06:35 PM
The scientists say it's a medium star. A star keeps the same mass for the entirety of it's life. Why? because fusion doesn't destroy mass, it just turns the hydrogen into helium. Secondly, the gravity keeps the atoms from flying off...

Scientists also say that compared to diameter of giant stars, ours is only a medium...

Also, I forgot another way of our star's dying.

It could have just enough molecules left over after the expansion to form a new star, but it would be one of the smallest star types.

Edit:

Ok, here are some images comparing Sol and the supergiant Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetle Juice)

These are pictures taken from a star viewer program. Both are from the distance of about 8 AU (astronomical Units) Compare the size. Supergiant to medium.


That's a huge and I mean HUGE difference

Man I love my star viewing program. And best of all it's free.

kevinok
08-07-2003, 06:54 PM
the sun is to small to be a black hole

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 06:57 PM
you think? Compared to Betelgeuse, it is too small. geez, betelgeuse is huge.

kevinok
08-07-2003, 07:00 PM
unless im mistaken the color of that star is orange

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 07:07 PM
It's red. The temperature of Sol and Betelgeuse are very different. The hotter a star is, the closer to bluish white it is. Our star is hotter than Betelgeuse, even though it is smaller.

kevinok
08-07-2003, 07:15 PM
i thought the hotter stars are blueish like vega

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 07:18 PM
Here's the scale....

Red = cold star
Orange = cold/medium warm
Yellow = medium
Some color here = Medium/hot
Blue = hot
White = Hottest fricking star in the sky

Never heard of a plasma star.... it's just superhot.....

Namhet
08-07-2003, 11:38 PM
Plasma state is when atoms have no electrons.

And vag, no, fusion releases energy, so the mass goes down, which is why stars die in the first place.

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 11:39 PM
stars die because they don't have any more hydrogen atoms to fuse tehman.

I don't think the energy takes away the mass.... but it might.

kevinok
08-07-2003, 11:41 PM
it just runs out of fuel to put it in a nice way

Namhet
08-07-2003, 11:42 PM
It does. The atoms eventually break down again during fission, but they lose a neutron sometimes during the process, and therefore the mass is lost.

Vagrant
08-07-2003, 11:42 PM
that's what I mean.... it doesn't run out because lower mass.... that would mean black holes, white dwarfs and black dwarfs would never exist if they had no mass...
