Angelou: With the type of technology available to us now i would say that we can probably in the near future achieve something near the speed of light with nuclear reactors but still such ridiculous distances is still impossible to us. Our galaxy for instance is 100,000light years in diameter, unless we can get to observe wormholes and create mini wormholes and blackholes in the near future i doubt if it would solve this problem but i know it will give us a better idea of the universe we live in. Maybe going by quantum mechanics we could come up with a quantum generator that can generate alternate atoms of an object and project to a different point in space/time.

When you understand just how insignificant this planet is and how in our arrogance we have prized ourselves the important parts of the universe when we don't even know what exactly the universe is.

Dnacode: One thing with religions is that; It begs for rights when it has none but when it gets it, probably in the sway of its temporal acquisition of power and wealth, it tries to take away the right of others. I am an effeminate man(a man who does like a woman).[b] I have always told religious people that when you claim LOVE, love means acceptance, kindness, care and affection. it is not judgmental, discriminative, wrathful and obedience conformity. If the type of love one shows to others is judgmental, discriminative, wrathful and obedience conformity, if it does not accept others for who they are then i think that can never be called love. Religions should in their arrogance of "Holier than thou" should learn to extend kind arms towards people who see different from the societal expectation. In this self induced delusion of absurd arrogance they prize themselves progenitors of human morality but look at their actions one can conclude religions have no idea what morality really is. People should learn to accept others, learn to radiate love to others no matter how their lives or belief contradicts yours. I once used to be very homophobic (I hate and fear fear homosexuals) but i learnt many people were born that way, who am i to try to make others to conform to my own idea of human decency. Now i can be good friends with a gay and will treat them just like good friends just that they shouldn't act funny to me (Asin ever trying to touch me intimately) or i might throw punches at someone's nose. I am sorry the society we are in find your effeminacy to be an unacceptable societal behaviour even though no one has ever stopped to consider it is not your fault. Human nature do not have one stipulated way of manifesting but our society do not understand that. I can relate to how you feel because i have had many atheistic individuals who face similar discrimination because of their stance relay their ordeal to me I Cannot say to know anything to say that can solve this, i cannot change the way our world works but i can only say that no matter what do not let other people's perception of you get to you, your own perception of yourself is all that matters. You didn't choose to be born or the way to be born but you can choose to either live for yourself or for others. [/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

Since it is a private firm i think everyone should have the right to render their services to whom ever they choose. It is their bakery and so they can decide to sell to you or not regardless of your sexual orientation or are they making fuse of it because they are gay couples? Since it is their private bakery, i am against fining them for not rendering their service to someone they choose not to, it is not by force that someone must render services to you, keep your money and i keep my services.. thats a right. I think America should know when they are overlapping the rights of others to uphold an overstepping boundary of another. I only do not support when people in government firms refuse to attend to couples because of the orientation, that is bringing personal ideas or religion into the government and that is not acceptable as long as the law of the state supports that right. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Other alien life forms might actually be in microbile form or complex form like us the possibility spans both ways. But one thing is certain, there will be totally different from what we can imagine. . . While we can only see light we might have some that see infrared.

| Christianity Etc › Re: Does Anyone Know Who And How The Bible Was Compiled by johnydon22(m): 3:54pm On Oct 27, 2015 |
[b]The main purpose of the Council of nicaea 325AD was to address the Arianism heresy which questioned the Deity of Jesus and threatened to tear the new church apart. It was in that council that the Nicene creed was formulated (This creed is still used in the catholic Church everyday) determined to be the fundamental basis of the Christian belief. Like you rightly pointed out it also gave rise to an undying need to formulate a guided canon for the religion and is the advent of bible. Bible was not compiled at one particular point in time, it went through many developmental phases. Books were added and decided by the Bishops, edited and compiled many New testament christian writings didnt make it into the bible and only 4 out of the gospels written made it in. Some jewish texts found in their Tenark didn't make it in but most did (called old testament in the bible) It took many years of editing and adding to the texts by the esteemed bishops of the Church. Like the book of revelation was one of the last additions to the canon of the bible. The difference between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox bible with the Protestant bible is that the Catholic and orthodox bible contains Deuterocanonical books like Tobit, mecabbeus, sirach and many of them making it 77books (Septuagint bible) But with the rise of protestant Christianity those books were omitted because there were not recognized as actual biblical canon or found in original Jewish manuscript. It is also ok to note that there have been an undying feud and conflict between Catholic christianity and protestants through out the medieval ages resulting to countless bloody wars lasting for years...[/b] 12 Likes 5 Shares |
| Christianity Etc › Muhammed And The Flying Horse by johnydon22(op): 3:30pm On Oct 27, 2015 |
[b] Many of us here are very familiar with flying animals in antiquity or animals depicted to possess wings like birds. The most popular of these stories is the story of Pegasus the flying Horse of Perseus son of the God Zeus in classical Greek antiquity. we have all seen the movie depictions and many of us here won't deny having fantasized about riding such animal  that has nothing to show that is not anymore than mere mythological fictional work of antiquity.https://www.drawingsomeone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Pegasus-Drawing-6-540x380.jpg We also have the winged bulls of Babylonian mythology and then remarkably one so near is the tale of Muhammed (Founder of Islam) riding similar animal. I am intrigued at this claim of Muhammed riding something similar to a flying horse named Buraq. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me. ... The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. — Muhammad al-Bukhari , Sahih al-Bukhari Then he [Gabriel] brought the Buraq, handsome-faced and bridled, a tall, white beast, bigger than the donkey but smaller than the mule. He could place his hooves at the farthest boundary of his gaze. He had long ears. Whenever he faced a mountain his hind legs would extend, and whenever he went downhill his front legs would extend. He had two wings on his thighs which lent strength to his legs. He bucked when Muhammad came to mount him. The angel Jibril (Gabriel ) put his hand on his mane and said: "Are you not ashamed, O Buraq? By Allah , no-one has ridden you in all creation more dear to Allah than he is." Hearing this he was so ashamed that he sweated until he became soaked, and he stood still so that the Prophet mounted him According to these narratives God through Gabriel gave Muhammed one of his flying horse-like animals to ride to Jerusalem. . And muhammed was the ever first to ride such. I find it intriguing that the classical story of Perseus which predates muhammed story by thousands of years. God (zeus) also gave Perseus a flying horse named Pegasus and Perseus became the only person to have ridden such. These two stories quite similar in their claim of flying horse-like animals being ridden, what fascinates me is that people actually believe Muhammed really rode such an animal even though such has never been substantiated to be anymore than fictious mythical construct. It reveals the dishonesty in Faith... Someone could believe such unsubstantiated outrageous assertion by faith against all reason. A Muslim would laugh at anyone who asserts Perseus rode a flying horse but Muhammed rode one? then it is true .. "God is great" …lol.. ..Imagine the absurdity in such belief. . . If one honestly believe someone rode a flying horse then why cant that person believe Perseus did or the dishonesty in belief stipulates one should cherry pick which myth to believe? That's why i always say: "If something needs to be believed against reason by faith then there is no reason to believe it at all..." Our muslim brothers, Do you honestly believe Muhammed rode a flying horse, if yes can you provide us independent empirical substantiation to back up your claim...??[/b] 16 Likes 8 Shares |

[b]These implausible tales are meant to be believed and not questioned according to religions. you should believe them by "Faith" no matter how absurd it sounds as long as you hold unto it by "Faith" then it must be true. Why should the young minds be discouraged from questions? why should the employment of healthy reason not be applied to religious beliefs and why should these belief rely on indoctrinations of a young mind for continuity. Only a lie would fear questions, the truth do not fear scrutinization or review, the truth do not bank on the gullibility of a child's mind (who doesn't know what he find to be plausible or not yet) to ensure conformity. If your parents waited for you to get up to this age before telling you for the first time the story of a man who was travelling and his donkey talked to him, there is no doubt that you would have laughed and told him uptight how such tales were mythological fabrications But it had to be sung into you as a child, scolded into you that it is true and a child has no choice but to believe what you tell them unlike an adult who is able to weight and disagree.[/b] Hewn from https://www.nairaland.com/2634107/questioning-implausibilities-2-reason-over 5 Likes 4 Shares |

[b]It all rests on the little dishonest quality used to clutch on to these irrationalities... its called FAITH. Faith as a quality is a very disturbing and outright dishonest quality, it blinds you to the outright outrageous irrationalities in your beliefs but hypocritically you will notice such irrationalities in other people's belief. Such absurd assertions can only be believed by FAITH which means you hold emotionally unto a stoic conviction that it is true even though you are not sure just think and believe it is true. That is why you see a muslim laugh at a christian for believing Jesus rose from the dead but he a muslim will still believe muhammed split the moon. so imagine the outright hypocrisy of faith in the belief of such assertions that outrages reason. If the story of Noah was not in the BIBLE a christian would laugh at anyone who believes it, if the story of the three little pigs was in the bible the Christians would believe it and insist it is true.. If anything story or any assertion or claim needs to be believed by FAITH then there is absolutely no reason to believe it at all... [/b] 7 Likes 4 Shares |
| Science/Technology › Galaxies by johnydon22(op): 2:24pm On Oct 27, 2015 |
[b] The ancients called it a "Milky One" we now call it a galaxy which is still derived from the greek word for milky "galakticos".. Right from the onset of observatory astronomy (Astrology in ancient times) people have always observed a cluster of bright light buttered into alien clouds running across the sky. https://astrophoto.com/JonTalbotandMilkyWay.jpg Nobody knew what it was but they observed it looked like a spill of running milk across the sky and so they called it "Milky" in greek "galakticos". Ancient greek myth has it that it was the spilled milk from the Goddess Hera's bossom. ...... This milky spill across the sky is what we now recognize as Our home galaxy not surprisingly we named "The Milky way Galaxy" A galaxy is one of the outstanding things about universe, a stupendous reminder to us of the magnanimous effect of GRAVITY on everything we know in this universe. A galaxy is a cluster of stars, clouds, dust, planets, dark matters all held together by the reaching arms of gravity.... [img]http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/9911/m31_ware.jpg[/img] This doesn't mean the stars are touching each other, no very far from that. Actually they are very far from each other like the nearest star to our own sun in our galaxy is 4light years away...**Thats a lot of distances** But the objects in a galaxy are closer to each other than every other around them in response to the gravitational force acting on them and so appear to be closely parked together when viewed.. (Pics above) Since the milky band in the sky was confirmed by Galileo Galilee to be a cluster of many stars in a celestial system. One question that popped out as a result of this was... "Are we alone? Is our galaxy (The milky way) the only of this type of celestial objects in the universe?" Many Astronomers right through out the medieval ages observed Faint dust clusters they speculated to be distinct galaxies from ours which some identified to be "Island universe". This gave rise to the hypothetical postulation of Island universe better put " Distinct galaxies" and this was a topic of debate between scientists supporting or negating this observed phenomenon owing to the fact that these observed NEBULAEs as they were called seemed far too distanced to be part of the milky way. The 1900s saw a turn around in this galactic hypothesis as the young observatory Astronomer Edwin Hubble observed using the Mount Wilson telescope the spiral andromeda nebulae (Now the andromeda galaxy ) to be an actual independent celestial object from our milky way and established and estimated distance.. Some near galaxies are actually visible to our naked eyes in our night sky though they appear faint but the andromeda galaxy being a gigantic galactic body is the farthest object seen with the naked eyes from earth at about 2.5million light years away.. https://en.es-static.us/upl/2013/10/Andromeda-Galaxy-Josh-Blash-7-23-2014-e1410695797991.jpg Now we have fully confirmed that the milky way is far from being the only galaxy in the universe, we have deducted through the help of the esteemed hubble space telescope and other powerful telescopes and observatories that There are an estimated amount of about 200billion galaxies in the observable universe (which is only the part of the universe visible to us) https://www.firstpr.com.au/astrophysics/hubble-deep-field/hubble-deep-field-northern-detail-rw.jpg this image is called a Hubble ultra deep field image.. every spec of object in the picture is a distinct galaxy and there are about tens of thousands only in this one image. TYPES OF GALAXIES we have observed many galaxies of varying configuration but we have placed them in three main galactic types. 1)spirals 2)elliptical 3)irregular (1)SPIRAL GALAXIES: This is a type of galaxy configuration whereby the galaxy appears to be in a spiral form with arms like a swirling arm of rotation star clusters. https://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/files/2010/05/Spiral_Galaxy-600x450.jpg The great Andromeda galaxy is a typical example of one and also is the Milky way or so we think. Has a galactic center or nucleus of bright cluster of stars (Hoarding enormous amount of energy) many are thought to have black holes. The arms of the galaxy orbits its center in a swirling dance of gravitational music. . Our solar system is in the orions arm of the milky galaxy and it takes our solar system about 200million years to complete one orbit around the galaxy. i.e : if our entire solar system is the size of a spec of dust then comparing it with the size of milky way galaxy, the galaxy would be the size of the united state of america... just to give a little incentive of how huge galaxies are. ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES Unlike the spiral galaxies, ellipticals dont appear in arm-like forms but rather show to have fewer components and appear in an elliptic form with a very bright center. [img]http://www.dailygalaxy.com/.a/6a00d8341bf7f753ef01bb0859ee51970d-800wi[/img] IRREGULAR GALAXIES Just as the name suggest is a galaxy that has no definite form, from single cluster of young stars and visible nebulas to two galaxies in an interactive mode (Collision) https://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/2013/nasahubblese.jpg We also have some dwarf galaxies being manipulated by the gravitational pull of larger galaxies and so are in orbit around the larger galaxy . . .The milky has some of these satellite dwarf galaxies. The largest galaxy we know is the ridiculously humongous IC 1101.. Galaxies are spectacular celestial objects and has given us a lot to find out about our universe. Looking out into the stars we have come to find out many things we never knew and what we keep discovering is that we don't know much yet. Affirms a popular quote that says: "Somewhere in the universe something spectacular is waiting to be discovered...
