Yes, evolution is a scientific theory, but so is relativity. Both are truth and are supported by thousands of valid experiments and observations.

Yes, we belong to the same family as the apes and we share common ancestors with extant apes. It has been proven beyond the slightest doubt by genome projects, amongst other evidence.

No, not all apes would be human by now if evolution were true. Not all whales are blue whales or all birds Ostriches. Why should all apes be human? That arguement makes no sense at all.

So what if Genesis got it wrong? Why are creationists/Intelligent designers so fearful about the first chapter of the Bible being wrong. The authors made up the best story they could. They didn't know as much as we do now. Is it because admitting one thing in the Bible is wrong may make people realise other things are wrong too?

Im making the assumption that a vacuum is the perfect example of 'nothing', 'nothingness' if you will. Is this correct? And if so, what is nothing, and how would it affect me if I stepped into it? Would I literally implode into a thousand pieces within milliseconds. Would I burst into flames?

roots: -2, 5, 1 +or- square root of 3i , +or- 2i, +or- square root of 5, +or- 7 square root of 2i, +or- 5 square root of 2, 10, square root 2 + square root 5i, -2+ square root of 5i


just in case u forgot, "i" is complex number or an imaginery number
show work if u can , b/c i tried this problem out but i think i messed up somewhere so i'm trying to see where.

And if there is no 'outside' how is that even possible? Oh my god, my brain is about to explode.

OK seriously though, why can we just not admit the human brain is too small to cope with dealing with such an issue. Its clear the concept is just too great for us to to deal with. Hell i might just start believing in God now. It seems easier that way.

I believe that the problem lies in the fact that there could never be an absolute zero; therefore zero in it's designated place in the number line could never be the sum of any thing. That I believe is the nature of the problem. Zero is actually none of something not nothing. So zero plus zero would actually equal two none of somethings.
It is my belief that this could be fixed by replaceing zero with an overlapping double infinity representing an event horizen in the center of the number line. Subsequently adding a positive and a negative zero on either side.

I believe an overhaul of the mathematic language is due.
The world is not flat, the Earth is not the center of the universe, gravity is a force, naked singulaities do exist.(ask now shirtless Steven Hawkings) Infinity has to come from somewhere. Picture the number line as a NUMBER CIRCLE.
