What is the difference between broad daylight and regular daylight?
What is the minimum breadth necessary for the daylight to be considered broad? How is this measured? Does broad daylight have a shorter wavelength and is it more likely to cause skin cancer?
1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoWas Jesus a genetic freak?
Normal human babies have 50% of their father's DNA and 50% of their mother's. Jesus had no genetic father. So does that mean he only had half the DNA of a normal person? Or was he just a total copy of his mother's DNA, and if that's the case, how could he be male? Where did the Y chromosome come from?
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoI've decided to believe in god tomorrow?
Tomorrow I am going to believe in god all day long. I will let Jesus into my heart and pledge myself to him for the whole day. Then on Wednesday I'll go back to being an atheist. This way I'll be able to tell if it makes any difference.
Is there anything you guys think I should try while I believe in god tomorrow? Things I already plan to try:
eating ice cream
driving 85 on the freeway
see Avengers again
a vodka red bull
posting on Yahoo! Answers
guided meditation
COD MW3
Remember it has to be something I can do during the course of an otherwise normal day, except I'll believe in god.
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhen counting your blessings, is it okay to estimate?
I don't know how many blessings I have, but I really don't feel like counting through all of them. I know I'm supposed to count them, but what if I just guesstimate? I think I have about 70 blessings. Is that okay? Or does it really have to be the exact number of actual blessings?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIs it really that hard to accept that death is probably the end?
I mean, jeez, it's not like you've always existed. Do you have any memories from before you were born? I'm pretty sure being dead will be just like that. Same as every other animal on the planet, we're born and we die. We don't go on forever in either direction.
Doesn't that seem just a little more realistic than thinking there's some central cosmic intelligence who loves us and is going to take care of us forever and ever? That sounds really far fetched to me.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoChristians: did all the other people the Romans crucified deserve it?
Is that what made Jesus' death special? He was without sin and didn't deserve all that suffering, so it paid for our sins instead. And the other victims of Roman institutionalized violence DID deserve their gory and painful deaths, because they weren't without sin?
Do you think I deserve to get nailed to a T and left to hang until I die like that, since I'm a sinner too?
I'm just trying to understand this.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoHow does god KNOW he's the only god?
How does he know that all his power and his omnipotence and his knowledge of eternity and so forth weren't implanted in him by some other unseen creator, even higher up the chain? Like, another god pulling the strings. 'Our' god can't prove that's not the case, can he?
And if he can't know for sure that there isn't some other being above him... how can he be all-knowing?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIf Jesus had lice, would they be granted eternal life?
Since they drank his blood.
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoAtheists/Christians/Other: How would you react if one of your family members told you you were gay?
Imagine that on your sixteenth birthday your parents summoned you the table and revealed to you that you were gay. This is something they had kept from you until you were old enough and mature enough to understand what it meant, but now that you're becoming an adult it is time for you to know. You're gay, and you have to start dating other people the same sex as you. How would you react?
31 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoI have found some errors in the Bible, how can I report them to God to be fixed in the next edition?
Mostly just spelling and punctuation errors. Still, I thought the Bible was supposed to be inerrant.
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoAre humans the only animals who know they're going to die?
I just wonder if there's any research on whether any animals - especially the more intelligent animals like apes and dolphins - understand that they are mortal and will one day die.
If we're the only ones, you have to wonder what kind of effect that's had on us.
5 AnswersAnthropology9 years agoGod keeps watching me while I'm going to the bathroom?
Is there any way to get some privacy from god when you're using the bathroom
it's pretty embarassing
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoI am going to commit suicide by time?
After giving it a lot of thought I have decided to kill myself. My method will be to wait about fifty years or so. That ought to do it. What should I do to the pass the time?
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhere on the internet can I go for lots of mudslinging, insult-laden partisan blather, and empty rhetoric?
Do you guys know any place like that?
16 AnswersPolitics9 years agoCan homeless people vote under voter ID laws?
I'm pretty sure you have to have an address to get a valid state ID. So how to homeless people who are legal US citizens exercise their voting rights in states that require a state-issued photo ID to vote? Are they just out of luck?
7 AnswersElections9 years agoAre there any time travel stories that consider the movement of the earth?
I mean, if you travel into the past or future, the earth would most likely be in a different position in the time you travelled to, right? So if YOUR position remains the same, you would materialize into empty space. But time travel movies never seem to consider this.
2 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoCould there be multiple big bangs happening concurrently?
So the big bang happened like thirteen or fourteen billion years ago. Is it theoretically possible that, sometime before or after, another big bang happened, but it happened so far away that the light from that other 'universe' it created hasn't even reached us yet. It just seems like if the big bang happened once, it could've happened more than once, right?
4 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoHow come our galaxy's named after a candy bar?
All the other galaxies have cool names from greek mythology and stuff. Our galaxy should have a cool name too, like "the Zeus galaxy." That would be awesome. Also, I have a chocolate allergy.
