From what I know of the bible, when he chased people out of garden of eden, he basically said now you're on your own. And we are on our own. So we might as well try to get the best out of it.
| quote: | | God wont let us run out of Materials |
Oh, so god is continuously pumping up raw materials into the earth?
How come its gravity is equal all the time?
Besides, look at what happened to people of Easter islands.
They had forests, chopped down trees, made tools using those trees, even erected huge statues with the help of tree trunks.
But, they were cutting trees too much, and in the end, they cut down the last tree, lost all their tools, and returned to such a primitive state, that everybody is wondering how they managed to erect those statues in the first place. They managed it because they had something to do it with.
If we restrain from space, we might end up like they did.
| quote: | | What are they trying to prove everytime they "send the shuttle into orbit"? |
They are not sending shuttle into orbit just for sake of sending shuttles into orbit.
They are doing it for many reasons. Basically it's
1. To put sattelites into orbit
2. To do research that could not have been done on earth
Why do we need sattelites? What's better, to build thousands of transmitting/recieving stations or to build one sattelite and send it to orbit?
The second thing is much cheaper.
Now, here's some proof for existence of space even you can measure (unless of course, the measuring devices are made to fool you)
1. Go to a high mountain or go flying high. You can see that the air is thinner there, since it's harder for you to breathe (of course, someone may have put poison in the higher levels of atmosphere that is making you breathe harder)
2. Get a precise device to measure gravity. It's weaker when you're in a plane then when you are on the ground.
From the first point, the conclusion is that the atmosphere is growing thinner all the time untill it eventually dissappears.
From the second one, you can calculate the exact speed with which you can throw an object from earth, so that it never returns again. (10th grade physics here, I can tell you all the equations needed for it if you don't believe me, and I can assure you that they're correct).
First, if the object flies away that it never returns, where do you think it'll go?
Second, find some information about space rockets, and you'll see that they have enough thrust to overcome that limiting speed, even including the atmosphere slowing them down.
You can measure Earth diameter also. Look at your shadow at noon, and then go to florida, and look at it there. It's shorter than where you are now. Measure them, and with some basic trigonometry, you can get the earth radius (been done in ancient greece with surprising accuracy). Now, knowing the earth radius, and those shadows, you can get the distance between the earth and the sun, also using some trigonometry (unless you believe trigonometry is also a mind trick).
By knowing moon periods of rotation, you can get its size and distance and mass as well. Newton did that. You can also confirm that with evidence from tidal effects.
To get the distance of other planets (which most of you can see with your bare eyes), if you spend few years looking at their orbits, you can measure their distance from the sun as well.
If you don't believe that planets exist, take a telescope, you can buy a sufficient one for 120$ or so, and look at the closer ones. They appear just like on the NASA photos. And what do you think is between those planets? Air? If there would be any matter, they'd be fiery balls going through the sky and soon they'd all fall down on the sun because of friction.
If they were just random dots in the sky, they wouldn't behave exactly as predicted by gravitational laws which are effective on earth.
You know, my grandmother had a neighbour who thought earth is flat (because, look down, we're standing on a flat floor!), america is smaller than croatia (because maps of croatia and america are about equal in size), airplanes are propelled by god (because how else could they be flying while being so heavy), sun is rotating around the earth (because, look, I'm standing still, and the earth is not moving relative to me, but the sun is!)
Anyway, I think you should go and read high school physics. But not just read those books, try to understand them and try to make up experiments of your own which will prove or dissaprove those theories and formulas. Then you'll see that it all fits into place.

But you have stated some very nice facts, But I still dont believe it. If god hasnt put us in space, We have no buisness their. God wont let us run out of Materials, Only Liberals say that because their so intune with the earth and "mother nature"
What world is around us? And why do we need more room to expan? Living Space?! Why would you want to live in "space"? What would be the point? What are they trying to prove everytime they "send the shuttle into orbit"? As far as I am concerned, I have always been told by my parents that space is a mind trick. Used by school's to give something to teach kid's about. My father work's for the U.S Government and he totally denies space. And many other people who he works with deny it to. It is nice to think about, What is up their, If their is anything. From what I hear about people who do believe in space. If I dont see it with my own eyes, Im sorry but I just cant believe it. 
But yeah...Why should they call my university after Johannes Kepler if all of that's bullshit?
