Venus spins on its axis on the opposite side as the other planets from the Solar System. Why is that so? Is there any special reason? Thank you.

With the recent discovery of huge lakes of hydrocarbons on Saturn's moon Titan, can we possible set up a refueling station out in space to help future long distance space missions? Would they also have a 24 hour convenience store or Dunkin Donuts?

With the recent discovery of huge lakes of hydrocarbons (methane and ethane) on Saturn's moon Titan, do you think the occupants of Earth would ever venture into pumping these liquids out of Titan to solve any future fuel problems? It took the Cassini spacecraft 7 years to reach Saturn from Earth.

Looking as far as we can into space we see nothing. When we look at the very small we see it surounded by nothing. So if every thing is made mostly nothing isn't it a very important something?

2 Peter 3:8-But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

To the scientist this scripture out of the Bible give you a the answer to how long it took for God(Jesus Christ) to make the universe.If you do a thousand years for every one of God's day's,becuase God wouldnt of had a reason to go by a 24 hour day,cause the earth was not yet made.
Given that scients like to say stuff took millions and billions of year,no dobt this fact about the bible definetly wont sit well with them.Since we know God made everything in 7 of his days; we need to apply the math he gave us in 2 Peter 3:8;what you come out with is the universe was made in 7000 of our years(1/1000=7/x, the x=7000).7000 as in it only took 7000 years too make the universe.Not a million,not billions,not trillions;only 7 thousnd year.
Which means age of the univers,dnosuar,geological features,animals,all need to be rethought.Scientisttalk!!

Since Mars doesn't have enough gravity to hold a thick atmosphere, how about putting a giant 'sun shade' between Venus and the sun, so that it would cool down? After that, couldn't we transform Venus into Earth's 'twin'? Maybe smash a few (thousand) comets into it for water?

In other words: if a UFO landed on earth and the alien(s) inside showed themselves to us, would that be more important or would a time traveler be proven to be, a time traveler who can go back to the past or to the future. And, he could show others how to do it, even prove it to you in one way or another. Would that be more important to you? Or, would the both of them be just as important?

The website about WMAP says that since light travels at finite speed then the far-away objects we see are actually much older. So, am I understanding this correctly? Do the scientists study the CMB radiationbecause it is the oldest thing left from the Big Bang? And how does measuring the temperature fluctuations help scientists learn more about how long ago it happened, etc. ?
Thank you, if this is a stupid question, I apologize in advance.

If the human race billions of years from now brought hydrogen from some distant source and fed it into the sun (I know it would have to be a lot), could they keep the sun "living" and continue to live on Earth longer than we predict at this point to be possible?
