Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

There is some dust in space. Not enough to obscure the brilliant stars as can be seen from rural areas, but it does darken things somewhat.

The cosmos appear to be billions of years old based on scientific measurements. I won't comment further on that issue though.

If you do not hav the answer, show some humility and simply say so. I certainly do not know everything, I am a simple farmer and truck driver.

lol, are you a slave owner?

Who ever said that is lying. I pay my workers, they are free to leave any time they choose.

My statement wasn't racist, since I was referring to objects in general, not just people. And black people can get hot, but humans in general are physically designed to cope with heat. They became darker to fend off UV rays, which are more of a health risk.

So what you are saying is it is healthy for the nigras to work hard in the sun. Good to know. Next summer I know just what to do with the ones that whine about being sick. Thanks!

Sunlight provides vitamin D, which is helpful. But you do need to eat food to live, so you'll need to feed your workers to keep them functioning and profitable.

So they are getting free vitamins? That is good to know when they try to complain again about not getting medical care.

Boy, these people have all these free benefits and yet they still cry out.

Darn right it was not a bad question!
Man O' man, you have an excuse for everything, don't you? First you say light travels for millions of years (Even though it has been proven time and time again, the Earth is barely 6,000 years old) now you say God made the Heavens dusty?

I could care less ad protecting a replaceable commodity. First you say black absorb more heat than whites (which is racist, but I'll let that slide for now) but that blacks do not get hot. You have to admit, you are digging yourself into a pit of deceit and lies here. Then you tell me that blacks eat sun, so do I need to feed them in summer or not? We are talking about a lot of money as I include grub with floor space.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Not a bad question actually. The night sky looks dark for a few reasons:

1. Interstellar dust and gas can absorb light.
2. The universe is of a finite age, and not all light has reached us.
3. Many stars are extremely far away, so that less of their light reaches us directly.

Greater amounts of melatonin, which is what darker skinner people have, gives them more protection against UV rays. Black people don't get sunburned nearly as easily as whites, which you've probably noticed. That is more of a consideration than the heat, which can be dealt with physically with sweat. That's why people from tropical regions are darker.

In any case, if you go out in the sun dressed in black, you'll get hotter than if you were dressed in white.

Please!

If that were true, the night sky would be as brilliant as noon on a summers day in the desert! Come on now, you are not dealing with fools here.

That does not make any sense. I kow when I drive my G-Wagon out to the fields in midsummer, it is too hot and bright for me to get out so I speak over the PA at the workers. The men and women working, picking cotton and tobacco leaves, all shirtless in the sun, their black as night skin glistening. I never hear them sayoing anything about the heat. Explain that! It all goes against what you just said. And if black objects eat light, why do I have to feed them in the summer?

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

I told my colored man "Boy" and Manuel the gardener to stand in the yard for a few hours last summer, both said it was hot. I think you can dismiss that little bit of superstition.

[James Hutchins]

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

well, objects do eat light, or rather absorb it. The process is complicated, but it usually ends up being converted into heat.

For example, white objects reflect more, black objects absorb more. If you leave a white object and black object out in the sun, the black object will get hotter.

You just keep getting funnier and funnier! Now walls eat light!

If the walls 'absorbed' the light, then wouldn't the walls glow? Ponder that one, Einstein.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

We can't observe the beginning or end of light beams since they travel so fast. And light continues to travel away from its point of origin - meaning that light from 6000 years ago would have long since scattered, and would currently be 6000 light years away.

Whether you follow the scientific view of things is up to you. But they have accomplished quite a bit.

That's always the story of your secularists
"We can't see light", dumb.

Here is a nobrainer for you: Open your eyes!

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

As far as we know, light can last any length of time if it is not absorbed. Light can travel through space for many years, since it is going through a vacuum (emptiness). In a room, it is absorbed by the walls.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Lol, "vacuum" is used as a scientific term for a space that has nothing in it, not even air. Science uses many technical terms that may seem unfamiliar to those not well versed in it.

So this is space now? You people are nuts. You make no sense whatsoever!

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Nice try. But light either lasts 20 years or it doesn't. I can tell you right now it doesn't simply by turning off the lights in my house. Do you have any other fantasies you'd like me to clear up for you.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Yes, because a room is small enough so that you won't even notice the light speed delay. The effect is only noticeable when there are vast distances involved.

Light delay? What the heck is that? I think what Brother Enoch was asking is where does the light go? How come it just doesn't bounce around inside the room forever?

See, if light from stars can go on forever, how come we even need electricity to make light? It should just be bouncing off walls forever according to you.
