Stuff like Heaven and Hell, Angels, ,evil Spirits, the Lord Jesus (not worthy at all), a miracle happened to me that saved my life (thank you God) & so much more.

      People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

All the students pulled out text books, began scribbling like crazy. One student stared around, finally wrote down something quickly and turned it in. The only A on that day was that same student who turned in a paper that said "Why not?"

He has a really great Ted talk about this, how he invites people with a big, seemingly unanswerable question, just to "accidentally trick them into learning something along the way" (in this case an introductory course in ontology).

      Hey, Vsauce, Michael here! Down here. But which way is down? And how much does down weigh? Well, down weighs about 1/100 of a g/cm3 . It is light, and airy, which makes it a great source of insulation and buoyancy for waterbirds. But if you let go of down, it falls down. So that's which way down is, it's the direction that gravity is pulling everything. Now for someone on the other side of the Earth, my down is their up, but where are falling things going? Why do things fall? Are they being pushed or pulled? Or, is it because of TIME TRAVEL.

Under his reasoning, it would also be valid to say that death is when his body stops "Michael-ing" and scattering is a process done to a body that was "Michael-ing"

    On a similar topic, I've always wondered how the transporters on Star Trek can differentiate between matter that belongs to a person's body, their clothes, the air around them, the ground beneath them, or a chair they are sitting in.

      I always felt so unsatisfied that there was no explanation to this, yeah.. i theorized about identifying human cells, putting them together for a model of the human, and then scan for matter in a 3cm radius that is not air (to get the clothes).

      I have to kinda assume that as they developed them, at first they could only do continuous (or nearly so) atomic blocks. So like chunks of pure or nearly pure iron. And then developed and refined that into the "well you can do it, just don't do anything live through it because it might not quite be right" of Enterprise, and over the next two centuries got to the reliable, fully able to differentiate level of TOS

      They can't. That's why we don't have teleporters and replicators, and why they seem even less possible now even though we have advanced much further with our scientific understanding. The whole concept is arbitrary fantasy that we made up because it makes a cool story, just like time travel, reincarnation and everything else in stories that doesn't exist.
