Re: Hello

Of course God is capable of making airplanes fly. What I'm asking, is why we need things such as fuel, an engine, and proper aerodynamics if God is the only thing required.

No, I think it is more likely that God created the Universe to work like it does. A Universe where airplanes need fuel and pigs don't fly of their own accord.

I feel blessed being able to deliver the Truth of the one True God

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello

If the only thing keeping airplanes in the sky was God, then their would be no need for a similar design, an engine, fuel, or really much of anything.

You're a fool. If God wanted pigs to fly they would. Through Jesus all things are possible. ALL things.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Re: Hello

I'm glad to have educated you then

They are similar in the fact that their wings all curve the same way (not the shape, just the midsections) and they all have a form of propulsion that requires fuel.

If the only thing keeping airplanes in the sky was God, then their would be no need for a similar design, an engine, fuel, or really much of anything.

Re: Hello

Also, I'm a bit curious... if the reason why airplanes fly is because God wills it so, then why does every airplane ever created have the same basic design? Furthermore, why have we only been flying for the past 100 years instead of the past 6000?

So these are the same basic design?

I did not know that!

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello

I'm sorry if I didn't include this requirement into my earlier post, as I didn't think it needed saying. The object in question, be it airplane or garbage can lid, has a minimum speed (depends on the mass of the object) that it must travel at in order to get a large enough lift.

That's the reason why an airplane (or lid) can't fly if its not moving fast enough.

I'd like to know exactly who you think you are, Mr. Man. What gives you the right to ask "why" of God? His knowledge and abilities are incomprehensible! He knows more than you and everyone you know put together!

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

They meet your criteria and would constantly be airborne.

Re: Hello

Airplanes fly because of the shape of their wings. They are more curved on the top than the bottom, which means that air will flow (hence being a fluid) over the top faster than than it will the bottom. Faster air flow results in lower pressure being exerted on the wings. The difference in pressure between the top and the bottom is what causes the airplane to lift into the sky.

Nonsense. If your conjecture were true, my trash can lids would never stay on the cans. They meet your criteria and would constantly be airborne.

No, airplanes fly if God decides that they should. And they don't fly (or cease flying) when He sees that those who hate Him are aboard. It's that simple. Just give thanks to Him!

In Christ

If I didn't design aircraft with this principle in mind, our Godly military wouldn't have any aircraft with which to combat our enemies. God truly is good to provide for us

No Cranky Old Mans was devised in a Godly method. Your equation is used to mock God. Big difference.

The equation I used isn't made to mock God, it was made to understand the movement of fluids. There is absolutely no difference between Cranky's equation and mine. The reason I came here was to seek help and understanding. If Cranky or someone qualified to speak on such matters could help me understand his Godly method I would be thankful.

Re: Hello

Then why do they fly? Boats are what you use in "fluids" and they use a completely different propulsion method.
Oh goodie, another Mensa atheist. You know, I think we should award a prize to the first Janitor, or any other low end job, atheist that shows up.

Well why don't you crack your own Bible open and find out for yourself?

The demands we impose on our atheist visitors are so onerous.

Re: Hello

Fluid dynamics isn't "Joo doubletalk." It is the reason aircraft such as planes and helicopters work.

I work as a mechanical engineer to design aircraft for the US Air Force, so it is vital that I use certain tools to aid me, such as fluid dynamics.

Also, Cranky gave me the same equation I was already using except he called it by another name.

I am not trolling anyone with math (I haven't even written any math here), I simply wanted your assistance in proving it. I'm sure the theory of fluid dynamics is in the Bible, I just need your help finding it (Cranky obviously found it earlier).

The reason airplanes fly is the same reason that you and I breath; Because God deems it so! Without God there is nothing!

Re: Hello

I agree. But as I am new to being a True Christian and do not understand the Bible to the same extent that you do, I have some difficulty applying all its teachings to my life. Perhaps you could help me with this one, where in the Bible does it give us the fluid dynamics equation as shown above? Thanks for your (and His) patience .

Are you seriously here to troll us with Maths??
Let's talk dirty then. Linguistics. Between myself and Bible Student (2 Christians whose capacity for languages ancient and modern is unequalled) we'd leave you mentally ragged and looking for an ambulance to show up.

Cut the vanity. Praise God. Leave the ego in the toilet where it belongs.

"Fluid Dynamics" sounds like joo doubletalk. Are you wanting to know how fast the water rose during the great flood? Is that it son?
