May 18, 2012 - um... hate to break it to you, but eventually, the world IS GOING TO END. In about 5 billion years, the Sun will run out of hydrogen to fuse. It will start fusing helium, and the Sun will expand until it engulfs Mercury and Venus. Our atmosphere will literally boil off, and all of our water will vaporize. That would be bad. So yeah, good luck with God helping you with that. Also, the Andromeda galaxy is going to collide with ours in 7 billion years. So if "God" helps the sun, we're still screwed

May 18, 2012 - Congratulations! In addition to insulting one of the worlds greatest astrophysicists, you managed to tick off a bunch of other people as well!
Ultimatebattlehero Says:
May 18, 2012 - um... garbage? You can Google "apophis" and see darn well for yourself that there is a chance-- a SLIM chance-- but a chance that Apophis will hit us. So please do your research before insulting one of the worlds greatest astrophysicists.
Ultimatebattlehero Says:
May 18, 2012 - Let's see the problems in that plan. First of all, there's no air in space, so you would have to score a direct hit with the nuke to do any damage. You would have to smack into an object traveling at immense speeds that is (on a celestial scale) minuscule. Second, if you did hit the asteroid with a nuke, some of the pieces could be big enough to come and still hit us, except now they would be nuclear.

May 18, 2012 - haha. Lasers then?
shmarch1337 Says:
May 20, 2012 - God is a fucking peice of shit. I hope he rejects you completely.
Ultimatebattlehero Says:
May 20, 2012 - yeah, probably. Lasers don;'t have the issue of being a moving object, and even if we don't destroy the asteriod, the heat from the laser might cause the asteroid to change course.

MDJboss Says:
May 28, 2012 - and the crowd stood up and applauded
MDJboss Says:
May 28, 2012 - i take you believe in the imaginary guy
MDJboss Says:
May 28, 2012 - if we hit it soon enough it will blow up into pieces that burn up into the atmosfeer.i dont know how you spell that. We humans have taken a small falling satilite out of the air, so we could hit a 300m wide meteor too.
Ultimatebattlehero Says:
May 28, 2012 - Yes, but the satalite was smaller. The pieces of the asteroid would be bigger and might not burn up completely.
MDJboss Says:
May 28, 2012 - thw owrdls nukes cat wipe out allmost the half of europa so a 300 metroid should be to big of a problem. and if so pieces shatter people could go into a bombshelter or sutch.
customerofshit Says:
May 28, 2012 - No, not at all. There's ignorance caused by restriction (religion) and there are just people comfy in their ignorance (average American).
MDJboss Says:
May 29, 2012 - true
MagickalMischief Says:
May 29, 2012 - I don't think I want to live on this planet anymore.
