The sun is hot. You are all morons. I hope that you all go to hell and die. Like this bastard son.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

You are all mormons.

No, we are Christians.

I hope that you all go to hell and die.

Impossible. You cannot go to either Heaven or Hell without dying first.

You should have said "I hope you die and then go to Hell". Or "I hope that after you die, you will go to Hell". But the more polite way of putting it would be "I hope that when you die, which will hopefully only occur after a long and fruitful life, you will find out, much to our mutual dismay, that your eternal destiny will be Hell"

Like this bastard son.

Given that both the mother and father as known, by definition he is not a bastard. Perhaps you mean it in the colloquial sense that you aren't fond of Jesus Christ. That's not logical, because Jesus died for you as well, not just for us.

JESUS still loves you even though he will condemn you to eternal torture.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

The sun doesn't emit yellow light. It emits white light. Which is all the colors of the visible rainbow combined. Most things you see contain many colors, but the combination "adds" up to one color or another. Intensity matters more than wavelength. I can make a huge lamp containing the same light wavelengths as your household bulb, which is going to be hotter from further? The sun is massive on a scale that can't even really be expressed in mind pictures, only abstractly huge numbers (1.98892 × 10^30 kg).

The sun yellow so it emits yellow light!
Just like a blue globe emits blue light.

Are you colorblind?

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Take a prism and hold it up to the sun. The prism is clear. Why is there a rainbow on the ground then? Where did those colors come from?

They came from each color of light taking a slightly different amount of time to get through the prism, and results in them being bent at a slightly different angle to each other, so they spread out.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

There are so many things wrong here, but to preserve both time and my sanity, I shall simply correct your glaring errors in calculating the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

See, astronomers determine the size and shape of our galaxy and measured distances to other stars using the parallax method. To get the distance to the sun, astronomers first had to determine the exact distance to Venus. With the invention of radar, scientists were able to measure the distance to Venus very precisely. By timing how long it took the radar beam to travel at the speed of light to Venus and back, the total distance to the object can be determined from the equation:

Distance = (Speed of Light) X (Total Time)/2

The reason the total time is divided by two is to get just the distance from the Earth to the object.

　
　

Earth-Sun Distance = (Earth-Venus Distance) / (Cos q)

Using trigonometry, astronomers now know that the AU (Astronomical Unit) = 92,955,820.5 miles (149,597,892 kilometers). This incredible degree of accuracy is possible because the speed of light is known very precisely and extremely accurate clocks are used to time the radar reflection. Radar can’t be used to determine the distance to the Sun directly because the Sun doesn’t have a solid surface to reflect the radar efficiently.

But asides from that basic math, now astronomers have technologies to measure distances to other planets more directly. When we have a spacecraft at another planet, we know the time it takes a radio signal to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. We can also send a powerful radar signal toward a planet and time how long it takes for the echo to return. Astronomers know how fast these signals travel (the speed of light), so measuring how long they take makes it easy to calculate the distance very accurately.

If you go outside and put on sunglasses the color changes. It is just the same with the prism.

I love how nobody here has even tried to refute a single conjecture I proposed.

This is a pretty awesome song, by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZD0yp-E0rw

Why would we need to. It is not in the Bible or how God made the world.

Why should we? First of all, you did not even quote the Bible once!

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Oh, my mistake!

KJV Ecclesiastes 1:17 - And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
KJV Ecclesiastes 1:18 - For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

There, this post is now biblical in nature! Now, responses, please.

Still see no Biblical proof in what you are saying. Does the Bible say anything about using radars to measure distant from planets.

The verses you quoted are interesting. Are you trying to say the knowledge your spreading is increasing madness & follow and sorrow.
