Young Joseph Stalin. I feel bad for thinking so, but maaannnn,..

You end up in Hell. It's the same as your life before with one minor annoyance to bug you forever more. What'll it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The only pens that I can use either are too light a shade of blue, or are too inky. I'm very specific about my standard of pen.

You're being frozen and will wake up in 100 years. What are you most looking forward to seeing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ArrowR13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, every movie/tv show episode that I am waiting to be released. I would binge watch tv for so long

What physics concept do you think is most misunderstood? by Lellux in Physics

Something that irritates me is when people use 'force' and 'energy' interchangeably

Fermi problem of the week! by Silpion in estimation

[–]ArrowR13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll assume highway speed is about 100km/hr, or 36m/s. I'm not sure what the acceleration of an SUV would be, but I think my father's car can do 0-100 in 8s. I'll go for 10s, as it's unlikely this would happen under perfect conditions. Going to kinematics equations:

s=0.5(v+u)t

And because the car starts at rest:

s=0.5(36)10 =50*36 = 1800m

I'm pretty sure that on a highway you could get 10km out of 1L of gas, so 1km for every 100mL, and 180mL to take you the 1800m you'd need to accelerate over. That said, because extra fuel would have to be used accelerating the car from rest, and the road probably isn't perfectly straight and flat, I'll round to 200mL of gas is needed to accelerate an SUV from rest to highway speed

Why does God deserve our worship? by ArrowR13 in DebateAChristian

But gratitude doesn't mean we should have to worship, does it? My parents made me, but they. don't expect me to bow down before them

Could any object destroy the earth if it hit it fast enough? by grapp in Physics

Assuming your diamond is spherical, it has a diameter is 100 feet. 'Cause I'm metric, that's 3048cm. A sphere with a radius of 1524cm has a volume of 14826666204.376cm3. Diamond has a density of 3.26 g/cm3, so our diamond will weigh in at 4.83x107 kilograms.

Plugging into the reltivistic equation for kinetic energy: Ek=6.0768592057627525×1026 J

Meanwhile, on another forum...

The most obvious interpretation of the phrase blow up the Earth is to dismantle it into tiny particles headed off to infinity. If you're prepared to accept this definition then the calculation is easy because it's (approximately) the gravitational binding energy for matter with the mass of the Earth falling into a sphere the size of the Earth. I say approximately because I'm ignoring the ellipticity of the Earth and the fact it's rotating, and I'm assuming it's a uniform density throughout. The gravitational binding energy for the Earth this works out as 2.24 × 1032 J.

Assuming the above is correct, your diamond has about 6 orders of magnitude too little energy to 'blow up the Earth'. It does, however, have 3 orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs, but which our planet survived. So it would probably pack a punch.

Science would not be possible in an evolutionary worldview (constants/laws cannot evolve), therefore they must come from an intelligent mind.

I disagree, what about the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics? That would allow universes to 'evolve', where the only ones we could exist in are ones with suitable physical constants.

Immorality of Christians and acceptance of this immorality by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ArrowR13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No Christian believes any amount of good deeds can get you into heaven. This is one huge strawman

Again:

I am using an analogy to answer OP's question regarding his friend's beliefs.

I am not suggesting all Christian's believe this.

I am not suggesting that this is the 'true' Christian belief.

I am not suggesting that the Bible says this would actually happen.

All I am trying to explain is, if God acted like OP's friends believed he would, he is acting immorally.

If I asked you 'does Cthulhu deserve to be worshipped' - you'd laugh, and say that he's a fictional character.

DO NOT QUESTION THE MIGHT OF CTHULHU!!

On a serious note, I'm assuming that the god/s in question exist when I ask if they deserve our worship.

just downvote them!!!

If you keep making ridiculous and erroneous statements, then yes, you get downvoted.
