The sky is not an object ... and has no set colour. On clear sunny days it appears to be blue. This is due to something called "Rayleigh scattering". Please take a look at the following link for a proper explanation

The sky is invisible. It's atmosphere. What's blue is the water in the air catching sun like a prism. The moon has a black sky because their is no atmosphere and no water.
So you can believe the sky is whatever color you want it to be.
Actually, there is no such thing as "Blue". Blue is a descriptive term to fix attributes to an object. i think the Japanese word for red is Asa (it's been a long time, and I'm probably wrong on that), but in English, there is no such thing as Asa. It's just a word. So you can say that the sky is grey if you want to, even if by our standards its blue, because that is the word we fixed to the sky to give it definition we can control.
Does that make any sense?

There are two ways I could approach this. I could go with the wishy-washy "liberal" answer (not sure what you mean by that), and say that the sky isn't blue all the time - sometimes its gray, sometimes its black, before tornados it sometimes turns green. Or I could go with the scientific answer (horror or horrors! actual facts!) and say that the sky, being composed of empty space, has no color of its own, and we see it as blue only because of the way light bounces around the atmosphere. As in most things in life, its all about perception.

faith is outline - beliefs that are literally not in accordance to evidence. Your words....it truly is why we favor faith....there is not evidence. what's written isn't certain the written fact, even although some will say that is. replaced into the tale of Frankenstein actual, because it replaced into written? No. So even with the actual shown truth that maximum non secular human beings (Christians) do believe interior the bible, that doesn't make it evidence. And so till the day comes the position there is evidence previous the doubt, this is going to stay a e book of religion...

Many of us in the Puget Sound area know that the sky is gray. We also keep re-electing Jim McDermott to Congress with huge majorities, so political orientation apparently has little to do with it.

It looks white right now to me, with a hint of gray. I'm conservative myself.
