Can Somebody Please anwser these questions?

[ColonD]

FLAB, could you please move this to the lounge Moved, compliments of Chakra

1. Is space endless? And if not, where does it end, and whats on the other side

2. If you were God, and could do absolutely anything, could you make a door you could not open?

3. Do people see different colours? i.e. My green might be your blue, or my black would be your white. And if so, can they see different colours that do not appear in my personal colour spectrum???

4. When will the throne of the magic Tom Cruise be overtaken?

THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE??!?!?!

[homey188]

1. Yes, no, and maybe. There is a finite size, but it expands at a rate that something travelling towards the edge would never reach it, so it is effectively infinite. According to string theory, there is a near infinite amounts of other universes, thats whats  on the other side, more stuff.

2. No clue, although he might be able to temporaily weaken himself, so I'd say yes.

3. I'm not sure, a brain might interpet the colors a different way, but theres no way of knowing, as it would still be known as the same color to the others, but appaering differently to each one. As for the second part of the question, anything outside of the visible spectrum would have a different effect other than the way it looked, so no.

4. Never, he is the eternal overlord.

I wouldn't recomend taking any of the above advice seriously, I could always be wrong.

1. Maybe. Like homey188 said, it expands so fast that you couldn't reach the edge. Some people say that beyond the edge of this universe, there's another universe, which is full of alternate universes.

2. Time paradox.

3. I've thought about this, there is no way of knowing, I think. And no, they can't see colours outside the visible colour spectrum.

4. PLACENTA

Edit: oh wow, way to edit your post and add the stuff I was writing

String theory doesn't state that there are parallel universes on "the other side", it just explains that there are a large, finite number of histories that exist. So somewhere else, there is a President Gore.

...the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe you'd find a time paradox if you reached the other side of the universe...

actually, number 2 is considered a sin to ask, because you are questioning the almighty power of god. basically, nobody but god knows, but he isn't going to tell you.

Christ, how can that be a sin?  You take things way too seriously if mere contemplation is considered sinning.

By the way...just what is being tested in this topic?

Your place in Heaven by tolerating such sinful thoughts.

1. Is space endless? And if not, where does it end, and whats on the other side

Homey was right: It's finite but expanding.  As for what's on the other side, that depends on what theories you're currently following.  I believe the current popular belief is that there are an infinite number of membrane-shaped universes in the 11th dimension, but not everyone agrees with this and, in fact, the theory only holds up because it's the simplest way we've found to mathematically describe what we see, but that doesn't mean it's correct.

2. If you were God, and could do absolutely anything, could you make a door you could not open?

That's known as an Omnipotence paradox.  Wikipedia has some interesting philosophy regarding that.

3. Do people see different colours? i.e. My green might be your blue, or my black would be your white. And if so, can they see different colours that do not appear in my personal colour spectrum???

While we can never definitely say, we have a small bit of proof that everyone sees the same colors.  There was an experiment not too long ago where people were measured for how well they recognize certain colors, then they were forced to wear colored glasses for two weeks, and at the end of those two weeks they were tested again while still wearing the glasses.  The researchers found that these people's brains had actually adapted to the colored glasses so that what the participants saw while looking through them was exactly the same as when they didn't have them on two weeks ago.

Of course, the exception is colorblind people who obviously don't see things the same way the rest of us do.

4. When will the throne of the magic Tom Cruise be overtaken?

Yesterday, actually.

Your nerves and whether this topic will turn into a flame-box or not. If you want, FLAB, it would be dandy to move this thread into the lounge please

Very true.

Propaganda! It's all lies!

[Graham]

2. Well actually, if you make it a sin to open the door then yes you can make a door that God Himself cannot open because God cannot sin.

[Meep.]

1.Space is probably still expanding. 
2.No
3.Maybe; what color is this to you? D:
4.Only when we find a way to defeat his alliance with the mighty Stephen Spielberg.

[Wraithlike]

3.Maybe; what color is this to you? D:

255 Green      Hue: 80
0 Red              Sat:  240
0 Blue             Lum: 120

Am I right?

Do you have an article for that? It sounds quite interesting. The same thing works with reverse images. Newborn infants see upsidedown for the first few days of life outside the womb.

well, in theory, by pondering such a paradox you are essencially questioning just how powerfull God is. that is a sin.

It would be like saying to flies, "If you are an admin, could you ban yourself permenantly?" and then wonder why you got banned.

[The Geologist]

First off, none of this should be in this topic and it should be locked or moved to the lounge.

Second, you wouldn't get banned for asking Flies if he could ban himself.  Not a very apt analogy.

And third, why would God, should he even exist, give us things like free will and the ability to think for ourselves if we couldn't ponder such questions?  That's just short minded and silly.  Merely thinking about the issue isn't the same as doubt either.

[Vltava]

Geologist, have you read through the Bible? All your questions are addressed in scripture, but I can't guarantee the answers will satisfy an agnostic. According to scripture, contemplating is a sin.

[Graham]

Everyone doubts or questions God, some people simply make the answer up themselves or search for one. Questioning is always good, cause questions are followed by answers.

Geologist, have you read through the Bible? All your questions are addressed in scripture, but I can't guarantee the answers will satisfy an agnostic. According to scripture, contemplating is a sin.

Care to quote the scripture on that one?

[Vltava]

No, because I can't be bothered to, and I'm not too knowledgeable. However, if you disagree with me, answer this: Is playing a porn video back in your mind a sin, or is only watching it one?

Edit – Bad example; think bad to Orwell's 1984 and the thought control idea.
