This isnt a question as such, but:
Try and think of a new colour, try it for as long as you want, it wont work.
I dont get it, someone explain.
If Aliens exist, why would they be green?
We are white for a reason, black dudes are black for a reason(Sunlight protection), animals are coloured for a reason.

because green is different, and we think aliens are different. so green= alien.

and a stupid reason i came up with myself is that green represents life(grass, plants, forests etc.), and if we think other planets hold life (aka, aliens), then they should be "green" in other words.

whast gonna happen after the sun explodes in a billion years or whateever? like the whole human race is gone, no animas no human beings. nothing.

what will happen?

Nah it will turn into a red giant. Become about 8 or 80 (cant remember) times bigger and it will engulf the earth.




anyway
If the universe is exspanding, what is it exspanding into? And what is outside of that?
This just messes up my head.

i wathched something not too long ago that said they think the universe is done expanding and actually coming back together, then in like billions or trillions of years will compact and another big bang will happen

yep ive thought abut this before as well and yes ive come the same conclusion the universe will expand and continue to expand until it reaches a certain point then it will stop for a fraction of a millisecond and start shrinking until everthing comes back together and then explodes again i.e. big bang and this will continue to happen over and over again so dinosaurs and that stuff will be reborn. if you dont understand what im sayin its like watching a movie but jut before it ends you rewind it and as you get back to the start you press play and the same thing you watch before you are watching again thats whats the universe is like.

What happens after death. That is the one question that can keep me up at night. Is there a heaven, what is it like. Are we reborn, do we remember? Don't start an argument, because nobody can be right, since you'd have to be dead.
well one thing ive thought about is you die but then you are reincarnated and born again. but since your a baby you cant speak so you cant tell everyone about who you are/where and you feel wierd because you cant. the only reason ive thought about that is because why cant people remember being a baby what is it that our brans didnt want us to remember thats the question.

the universe is still expanding.
and its weird to think whats outside the universe. because it cant be a wall because that would involve matter. and cant be space because that that universe. i think you would just vanish or end up on the other side of the universe.

why did they name iceland iceland when its warm?
and greenland greenland when its cold?
just to confuse us?

if weve evolve from single cell organisms. and we all came from the same thing. what if something millions of years ago went down a different evolotion trail? could you of ended up being something different? like a cow or a bug? like, if your white and your dad did a black woman instead. you would still be you but be black. just times that be like a billion. i think it would. even know id be craazy unrelistic, but just the thought of it being possible would be weird.

I think the original people to settle iceland named it that because they didn't want people coming over, they wanted to name it something unappealing. But greenland, they wanted people to go there so they could gain money (don't ask me how that worked), and so they named it good ol greenland.

i'm not sure what you mean in the second question, but if your dad did it with a black woman you wouldn't look anything alike yourself orginially. you would have the black woman's facial traits as well as the skin color.

I have a question for you- you've been coming on the site alot recently, are you back to riding? i read that you 720'd your kicker. i'd love to see that mane.

Why do people believe that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree?
The term "cosmic zombie" is incorrect. He wasn't an animated corpse, he was brought back to life. That would be like saying if your heart stopped and someone shocked you with a Defibrolator "ZOMG ZOMBIE!!!oneone". That isnt to say Jesus didnt die. His death was verified by his followers and by Roman Soldiers who were experianced in crucifiction. Modern Medical scientists also state that it would be impossible to survive crucifiction in addition to 3 days in a tomb without food,water, or medical care. Also keep in mind over 5000 people saw him ressurected and accended into heaven. There is no way this could be a mass hallucination because of the basic psycological principals that govern hallucination. Another reason people belive is the accuracy of prophesy in the bible between the old and new testament. Here is an example I have heard.

Say you were to take a quarter, put a special mark on it,, and set it down in the state of Texas. Now you start filling the state untill there is 2 feet of quarters over the entire state. You mix the special one with the rest of course. Say somone were to walk into the state, blindfolded, reach down into this sea of quarters, and pull out the ONE QUARTER with the special mark the first try.

Those are the odds of just 1 of those prophesies being fufilled. Mathmatically it is 1 in 10 to the 5th power. Now consider that scholars have found that 2000 out of 2500 prophecies in the bible have been fufiled. The remaing 500 are for the "end times."

Thats all that Ill tackle for now. If you want more reasons or have more questions on this, feel free to PM me or we can discuss this in a religeous thread.

stop getting religious
that happened 3000 years ago, and there was a council at about 300 ad (i dont know the date), where they basically took what they wanted in the bible and what they didnt want in their, so basically youre seeing whatever the church wanted you to see. plus through all the translating and stuff people who favored jesus and the religion could have changed things from the original text so stop being like haha i know everything roarrrrrrrrrrrrr
