Sometimes I despair for my fellow Christians

[Nikolai]

Sometimes I despair for my fellow Christians. Some of them at least. I posted on Facebook a status stating "Some questions God can't answer. Like how many kilometers in a liter." I promptly get a serious answer from a guy stating God can answer all we ask, he just don't always bother. I mean, seriously? Granted, this is the guy who sees Putin as something akin to the second coming, but still.

*sigh*

"Some questions God can answer. Like who would win in a fight between Putin with a knife and a Siberian tiger."

Like how many kilometers in a liter.

1 liter = 1000 cm^3 = 1.0E-12 km^3


DO THE MATH

But God can answer such a question: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside the Father's care."
(Translation: What a stupid question, but do not fear, I will still care for you."

He still can't tell us why they made 'Howard The Duck' or the remake of 'Get Carter'.

[Sava]

that's a weird pair of movies to rip on

[Aeson]

God could answer that question by destroying this universe, and creating a new one where eventually intelligent life would create a metric system where kilometers were a measure of volume. Easy

(I'm not saying he'd have to destroy the universe to get to that end, but if I was omnipotent and my creations were asking me those kinds of questions I'd probably just want to start over from a clean slate ... )

kilometers were a measure of volume.

[Al B. Sure!]

It goes with the territory. Anyone who seriously denies scientific inquiry for two thousand year old supposed revelation is probably not particularly astute.

WTF? Howard teh Duck was awesome.

Putin as something akin to the second coming

Well, there's your problem right there.

Parsecs are a measure of speed.

[Lorizael]

Parsecs are a measure of speed.

There exists an EU explanation for why fewer parsecs is a good measure of performance on the Kessel Run, but my personal explanation is this: Han was bull****ting some hick farmer kid and didn't expect him to be able to tell. (Yes, I know what the real explanation for this is, but that's not any fun.)

km, as a unit of volume, can be expressed mathematically

Is it because he found the warp whistle in the first parsec?
