Welcome to Die!

It takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth. No animal sees darkness: most nocturnal animals register infrared better and bats rely on echolocation. Also, the bit about the back end of light rays is just confusing although I don't doubt it makes sense to you. Keep a journal and you could be the next William Burroughs.

 

Err, light travels at about 300 million metres / second and takes about 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach Earth.

Edit: Ninja'd.

 

I don't care what anyone believes, but one thing is for real...having a real discussion of any substance on TA is like a limbless person trying to scratch himself.

 

Light travels in waves which are like ripples and any rippling affect that is cut off from it's source would always have a backend.

I'm sure you can understand that right?

We ring a bell with our teeth and someone else has sophisticated conversations for us?

 

Ok so it's minutes and not days or weeks, I said in theory & actually that would be still accurate I just said way longer than it is.

But technically we are still looking through "old light" because it would at least take eight minutes to diminish after/if the sun went out.

Compared to the cutting off of an artificial source of light like a light switch, eight minutes is an incredible amount of time. Not to mention distance.

It tacks like nano seconds for a light swich to turn off and on that with a bulb right over your head, so the eight minutes and distance that the sun's light produces to reach us I think is quite significant in weather dark is actually "dark" once a natural source of light that has help shaped the evolution of this planet and our visual spectrum is gone.




Of course I never said you were wrong in anyway, as it stands dark is the absence of light & that is true.

 

Absolutely no proof that anything in the Bible is true or that there is a God. All of it sounds much more like "explain the unexplainable with obvious, false answers."

Might as well throw in my opinion since this has stayed open.

 

God does exist.

 

Try telling that to Anubis

 

I choose to believe God does exist.

 

Think about it for a minute. Let's say you believe in God- if there is a God, happy day for you. If there isn't a God, no harm done. You had a happy life hoping for something after.
Now if you don't believe in God, and there is a God, you're in a not so good position. If there isn't a God, woohoo for you. You can get drunk, knock a girl up, get stuck with her, and live (not) so happily ever after.

In my opinion, there is a God. And I also am a believer in Karma. Being a good person makes good happen to you, and I like the idea of a point to life. I also like knowing I'm more than a slightly sophisticated monkey.

That's my opinion.

 

I believe in God, but not really in Karma. I do good deeds not because I expect something back, but simply because it's the right thing to do.

 

There is plenty of harm done: the Crusades, Prop 8, witch hunts, residential schools, etc, etc, etc. There is seemingly no end to the persecution, torture, slavery and murder, all to satisfy the invisible sky man. And you enable that suffering. Good for you.

 

Being an Atheist doesn't mean you have no morals or guilt, Hitler was a Christian and he caused the death of millions of people.
Both my parents are Atheists and they met at university, went out for 6 years and then got married, and had me three years later.
My Dad actually knows a Catholic who had pre-marital sex and married a girl he didn't love and is now an alcoholic, so these ideas you have that Religious people have better, more wholesome lives is completely wrong, it's really about equal and an impossible to measure idea.

 

Or would you not take that chance and have risk of eternal suffering?

 

OH SH*T So that was Jackson's second account. Whoever called that good job.

 

No, because you're the one telling me to do it, not God.
