The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Toronto chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
My life doesn't belong to me? How do you figure that?
And just because you take the bible blindly doesn't mean that I am obligated to do the same--just because you have abdicated your mind doesn't mean I will. So far, you haven't provided ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE to support the existence of heaven or hell, and yet you insist that your faith is the truth. You're going to have to do better than that if you want to convince me of the veracity of your claims. You're making claims, but not backing them up. How do you know hell exists? How do you know heaven exists? Do you have live video footage of your journey there? How do you know that the bible is right about it? WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
I don't think everything in the bible is true. I doubt that some god magically created humans from dust, I seriously doubt that a serpent "talked" to a human being, I doubt that Jesus flew up into the sky on a pack of clouds, etc. These are major claims that need major evidence to substantiate them, and so far you have done nothing to help your case.
And I don't believe in Adam and Eve because I haven't seen any evidence that they really existed, and plus I don't believe in literal genesis creationism. It just sounds like a bunch of fairytales.
Sorry for the choppy English, I don't really feel like being eloquent right now, I'm studying for a HumBio midterm.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!

There seems to be nothing you believe in.
You believe in air, but you can't see it. You can feel it so you know that it exist. I believe in God, but I can't see him. I can feel him so I know that he exist. I'm not trying to prove anything to you nor am I trying to convince you of anything, I'm just speaking my peace. Your mindset and your conversation is just continually reminding me how close we are to the last days. We are living in perilous times. The way that you feel is the same way that a lot of other people feel. I pray your heart doesn't stay hardened and you don't perish at the hands of the Lord just as Pharaoh did, but for some that's the only way that they will know that God is who he says he is. Also realize these post are not just for you. There are other people reading these and they might have the same mindset as you, but they might take the comments and dwell on them and it might change their hearts and their minds about some things. So, PLEASE p-boy realize that "IT AINT ALL ABOUT YOU!!!"
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, ****, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power..." (2nd Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV)
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Eve wasn't borne from Adam, she was created with his rib inside of her.
The male is suppose to be the head of the household. This doesn't give the husband the right to just be the boss and mistreat his wife. It just means that the heavy load is on the husband. He is suppose to be the one that keeps the family in line with the word of God, because the Lord is going to blame him if anything is out of order within that household.
Right. Yet it's funny how many Christian households fail under that concept. What's wrong with both the man and wife handling the workload of family? Why must God blame just the man in that respect, why can't both the wife and husband come to task? I mean, really, what's wrong with the man and wife running the family as One? I mean, if you get married as One, wouldn't that mean you run a family in the same respect?

The husband and wife are one and the household is run as one because they are in agreement of how to run the household. However, there can only be one head. Anything that has two heads is a freak or freaky.

Right. I'll remember to tell that to the Calabar Ground Python. I'm sure it'll be pleased. Remember, we're not talking about a two-headed python (I wish I could get one, they are way cool). We're talking about family and relationships. To say that the husband and wife are One and the household is run under one entity automatically eliminates the need of a head of household. If we make decisions together on how to run it together, why must there be a head?

The head of the household is not eliminated because the husband and wife are on one accord. The head of the household is needed because there should be an order in every house. There needs to be someone that is responcible for the consequences of the decisions that are made. If there is no head there is no control. Usually people don't want a head because they think that it means someone can treat them like a child. That's not the way I see it. I don't understand why it's so hard for females to be able to listen to their husband and believe that he is doing what's best for the both of them.

Hey Sister Tamara, I was wondering where you were lately. LOL Anyway, you are right this thread might be to help someone else who's heart is receptive to the word of God. It might be a waste of time giving advice to prettyboi, but it might help someone else who's reading this thread. I have learned if the most high God, El Elyon, can't change people, what can we do? As Paul said, you have to dust your feet off and move on, and that is pretty much what I've done in this case. I felt that there wasn't a need to try to convince this guy of anything. It is sad that Jesus died for mankind, but not every one will choose to receive him.
He is really at a dangerous place. For one thing, Satan hates him but then he is also blasphemes towards God. He is stuck in the middle, and we know in the word of God that there is no middle ground. It is you are going to serve the devil whole heartedly or serve God. People have to make a choice. He is really in a dangerous place, and I hope that he gets revelation of the word of God soon before the enemy will make a believer out of him. When bad things start to happen to people, they always run to God. Why can't people run to God without having to have something bad happen to them? Then they start to blame God for something the devil did. The devil throws a rock and hides and then points the finger at God. People start to hate God for something the devil did to them. Anyway, the best thing to do for this guy, prettyboi, is to pray for him. God doesn't need any help defending himself and he is also able to give all the proof people need, to know that he exists.

Well, I don't understand why the female can't make decisions for herself. If you're running a household with me, run it WITH me, not for me. This isn't the 1950's, it's 2007. And now that I'm on it, EXACTLY WHO said that order can't come from an egalitarian family system? That's serious bs and an insult to all those who come from households like that. Oh, and before I forget...why again can't the female be the head?

Where is REAL evidence that God or the devil even exists?

If a woman is single than she is the head of the household, if she is married than her husband is the head of the household...(who says...)GOD SAYS!!! (what makes it right???) BECAUSE EVERY WORD OF GOD IS RIGHT!!!
Only true Jezebels have a problem with male authority over them. Everything is suppose to be done decently and in order. When things are done out of order than that's when you have problems. It's not about what year it is, it's about what's right. Ever since Womens Lib, females have felt like they had to prove themselves. Well, what are you trying to prove...that you can be a man??? That you can be manish??? Females that are set on proving that they are just as good as a man end up acting just like a man...including sleeping with other females!!! Just be who God has made you and enjoy the role/position that he has put you in. People are never satisfied and that's really what it's all about...always wanting more or something else. In some situations that's a good thing, but in other situations it's a costly thing!!!
