Who wote the simplified english version of the bible? We were given them yesterday and it was like an 8 year old wrote it...

'"Do you know the Son of Man" Jesus asked the man. "No I don't but I would like to" said the man. Jesus said "you are looking at him" so the man knelt at his feet and said "I Believe!"'

"Jesus went to Peter's house where his mum was in bed due to a bad fever. Jesus placed his hand on her head and the fever went away so she got up and made dinner"

huh?

Sounds like a children's book. A very badly written one at that.

Why does school have to start so dang early
but so dang late

Don't answer

BUT

The most worldwide accepted theory of the creation of the universe (other then religious theories) is the Big Bang. But what confuses me is how can something appear from nothing? There was nothing there and then something suddenly existed and that things made everything we see today... It's too confusing to think about. I'm confused at how Stephan Hawkings can figure this out...

There have been some instancs in which energy spontalesly changes to matter.its the oppisite of a nuclear reaction pretty much. say when they have a nuclear reaction they put in 1000 g of plutonium when they remove it there is only 999 g.that 1 g turned into a great amount of pure energy pretty much.

I went to an Alpha Course last night (and my top is stained with curry now...) and we were talking about how to read the bible so they gave these little new testament bibles which were written in new english but it was too simplified...

How many moons orbit the Earth? (last time I checked, there were about 5...)

 

[PurpleDucky]

ooh, i think i know the answer to some of these lol

big bang: i believe the big bang theory and evolution.. in that theory, it just says how the earth was formed... there were unstable gases and such and an explosion occured in space, drawing matter that was already in space into a concentrated area, essentially forming earth... however, like desan said, it doesnt explain where the matter in space came from.. my take is that someone or something of a higher level (?) put that matter there so it can react


Colors: people all see the same colors lol... all of our systems, including the visual system, are built the same.. the rods in our eyes are sensitive to light... and our cones are basically responsible for color vision... basically, different colors are just different frequencies of light waves.. so when the frequency for red hits the cones in your eyes, it will interepret the frequency into the color that you see... so if you stood in a room with someone.. and were shown a picture of the color red.... you guys will be looking at the same frequency of light... and since you guys are of the same species (humans), your rods and cones work exactly like the other persons rods and cones, meaning you will both see the same color (same structures interpreting color + same frequency of light = see same color)...... and just a fun fact.. color blindness is just a deficiency in the rods and cones



Sleep: time doesnt past faster when you sleep.... when your asleep, your conscious mind totally goes away and your unconscious emerges (dreams)... what keeps track of time is your conscious mind... but since its dormant when your sleeping, there is nothing in your body keeping track of external time, so when you wake up, it feels like time just flew by because your conscious mind re-emerges, and picks up where it left off (before you fell asleep)




HUZZAH!

You don't believe the big bang theory, you believe theistic evolution lol.
And whoever asked that "If a tree falls and no one is around to hear, can you?"
Well duuuh. There's matter around the tree that let's it create sound, it's just nobody was there to hear it. And just because no one was there to hear doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The only place where there is no sound is space. Space is like a big vacuum. You'd think that you'd hear a star explode, but when actuality, you wouldn't. You wouldn't because there is no form of matter for the sound to bounce off of.

I listened in Worldview and Science class yesterday

Has anyone else ever gotten that thing
where you get a cramp in the toe-pad (im guessing thats what its called) at the top of your foot
and it feels like 2 of your toes are literally switching spots and it hurts like crazy but at the same time it feels like they are going to fall off
and then you look at your feet and your toes are ACTUALLY twisting
so you start squeezing your foot in hopes to get your toes back to normal?


That has happened to me 5 times this year.
Its freaky.

 

[marypops!]

That happens to me alot!

Why do we hiccup?

Huh? Maybe I'm not understanding the question correctly but I thought we only had one moon........

 

[marypops!]

Well, they're not really moons, but asteroids. Not sure if they all are moons but I know that one called Cruithne is referred to as Earth's "second moon" because it follows an orbit around the sun similar to Earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3753_Cruithne

Not sure on the other moons though... It was just on a comedy quiz show (where the questions and answers are real)

I read somewhere that's its about our bodies not getting enough oxygen..or something.

I forget.
It was a long time ago.

Yeahhh, but on a more philosophical level, people ask that like in a sense of "Does anything REALLY happen if we're not there to witness it?"
I dunno, hard to articulate waht I mean..

I wasn't there when you were typing, but I know it happened because you just typed this post.

I wasn't there when 9/11 happened. But it did
