Are Gods Mortals? author 22, August

This has been bugging me lately, are Gods mortals?

The reason I ask this is because of all the stories of the past and no stories of today. Lets take the Bible, because that is what i know best (13 years of catholic school).

Thousands of years ago you read about a talking God, a vengeful God, a passionate God. God was right there by Mans’ side. Chatting it up with Abraham, Moses, Mary, etc., etc. He was flooding the world, parting seas, raining fire, saving babies from Death, and asking humans for proof of love and making people speak different languages (Tower of Babel). God was very, very involved with humans cursing the wicked, fighting the devil, teaching us morality…

You see, I think God has passed on. Why? The times we live in aren’t exactly peaceful. If there was ever a time for God to speak up it is now. Morality is falling to the wayside, innocents are dying constantly, diseases plague us, everyone speaks English… humanity has become an epidemic and not a blessing.

Where is God? Did he die? Did he start another project? Scientifically he should be dead. If he could speak to us then that means he is within our Time constraints (speed of sound). He would be 10,000 years old right now too. BUT WAIT… God created the universe… We have proven the universe to be roughly 11 billion years old. He is one old SOB!

Or is it every one of our years is one second of God’s life? He would be 3,055,556 hours old or 127,315 days old or 349 years old on Gods time. Still Old as hell. So is God or are Gods mortal? God created the universe, Egyptian, Roman, and Greek gods were derived of universal and earthly phenomenons. Modern humans found those gods to be Planets, stars, animals and energy. And we all know energy eventually dies off. And if everything is made of energy then everything must die off.

Answer: Gods are Mortal.

Just a Spec on a Spec author 21, August

We are just a spec on a spec and probably even smaller than that. To try to put this in perspective you will have to be good with zeros.

First, how fast is light? It is about 186,282 miles per second. The closest star to us is our Sun at 93 million miles away, roughly 8 light minutes. The next closest star, our best chance for life after earth is Alpha Centauri (actually 3 stars) just 4.27 light years away. or in other words 5.88 trillion miles multiplied by 4.27. That is a tiny, tiny bit over 25,000,000,000,000 miles away. How many years away is that at say 17,000 mph (how fast the space shuttle orbits the earth). It would take 1,407,588,235.3 years to reach the next “sun”. That is 1.407 Billion-ish.

So we have the distance and we can see the star from earth but can the star see the earth. Alpha Centauri A is the biggest and is about 10% more massive than our Sun, with a radius about 23% larger. How big is our sun? It would take 109 Earths to stretch across the Sun, and it would take over one million Earths to fill it. The circumference of the earth at the equator is about 24,901.55 miles. The Sun’s circumference is 2,713,406 miles and Alpha Centauri is 3,337,489.4 miles in circumference. We are talking millions of miles around versus 10’s of thousands of mile around. Still not convinced we are nothing.

With the Hubble telescope we have taken Deep Field space pictures and stared at what we believe as of now, the edge of the known universe. How far did we see…. after 10 days of pictures with exposures for 15-40 minutes per shot taken in ultraviolet, blue, red, and infrared light as well, showed us 1,500 galaxies in a space the size of a dime 75 ft away at various stages of evolution. This image shows us galaxies 10 billion years into the past, perhaps less than one billion years after the universe’s birth in the Big Bang.

Once again, not even a spec of a spec… specs are galaxies. So what makes humans so special compared to everything else?

Think about it.
