Is Hell endothermic or exothermic?

Question

exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)

Would a Christian have the correct answer or a non-Christian?

Answer 1

I would say depends on how fast souls are entering hell, and how fast hell is expanding. But most probably exothermic. I think it might be the one with the most scientific mind that could answer that question, since a non believer could base his answer on assuming there is a hell, and a Christian in knowing there is a hell.

Answer 2

Since hell to me is having to listen to bad accordion music and watch infomercials for the rest of eternity, I would have to say that it is neither exothermic nor endothermic.

Answer 3

I have to say I liked the link. Prior to reading itI was going to say exothermic as God says Hell is hot and will never cool down. Oh by the way I am christian

Answer 4

Exothermic, according to mythology. The oldest scrolls of the Bible has no words that translate as Hell or Hell fire. That was added later in the 3rd century.

Answer 5

First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.

Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:

If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you" and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic

Answer 6

It is none of those things. You have deserted the charter of science initiated by Bacon in which Aristotle's 4 causes are reduced to science taking only the efficient cause without denying the validity of the rest. And the answer does in fact come from St John of the Cross who says that the word of God intitutes what it proclaims (the so-called performatory sentence) . So when Jesus says :"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" it is made so, just as 'Let there be light" produces light. See, your teacher is an ***, but you, being a half-***, find him twice as smart as yourself -- and indeed he is

Answer 7

My girlfriend once told me that she wouldn't go to bed with me until hell froze over. I guess it must be exothermic now.
On the religious level I think you would have to read Dante's inferno to get the answer.

Answer 8

I agree with Papa bear

Answer 9

It is exothermic. IE Lake of fire.

Answer 10

is neither of them Eccl 9:5,10.
