Here's your first question.

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this thread is. What sorts of questions are you expecting? I'm guessing this is one of those, "Ask the ______" threads. So with what label are you filling in the blank?
questions.

if one would pay me enough, sure. and if they would give me the time to find engineers and we put together a semi-truck that had a big vaccum on it.

[fundamentalist impersonation] Seeing that you're an atheist, your life must be devoid of meaning, and headed towards the Abyss of Nonexistence. How comes that you don't shoot yourself up with drugs, kill your neighbour and just do what you please? Isn't that what evolution teaches? The survival of the fittest? Shouldn't you seek to kill the weak? [/impersonation]

well i do what pleases me. i listen to my favorite style of music, i love my pork ribs soaked in sweet barbecue sauce while cooked in cayanne pepper that just breaks at the pressure of my fork and knife. i love my guitar, and love that sometime soon, i'm going to be able to shred with that guitar. i love working with my hands and tools. i love eating japanese food with fantastic japanese beer. i love my family and friends. i like a good hearty and strong alcohol filled drink. the drinks that give you a whiskey face, or makes you shudder because its so strong, or a beer that when swallowed all the hops just make you go, "oh yea baby!" i love shooting pool. i'm a lover of the world. eat and drink and be merry and i can't wait to dance with a fair lady!

so i don't have any urges to kill. i mean according to your theory, wouldn't that incidently put you on hit list?

i've smoked up some drugs a long time ago, it was overrated. stunk to high heaven, ate non-cooked ramen noodles because i was hungry during that time[shakes head], and while driving, turns the lights into a star wars battle. weird man, weird. it gave me weird vibrations all over my body as well. there's only one time i like that personally and its not because of a drug reaction...use your imagination to figure out what it could be brought from [winks].

oh and by the way, i don't believe in the abyss. what is that? sounds like something off of a horror flick to me. horror theology maybe?

"The Abyss of Nonexistance" was a phrase used by a particular fundamentalist on this forum, who thought that the notion of death without an afterlife was so utterly gruesome as to deserve such a label. He's the sort of Christian who maintains that the only thing keeping him from becoming a sociopath is the threat of hell and the promise of heaven: "behave, get a cookie"-morality.

i was playing along with the scenario :p people like that need some serious mental help, especially if the cookie comes from the cookie monster.

thankfully, at least in my experience, this kind of moral perspective isn't even close to the majority of Christians.

Allow me...

1.If the Earth is not round/oval, what shape it will be?
It's an ellipsoid, slightly flattened at the poles, slightly bulging at the equator.
2.Which one is before the sky or the Earth?
I'm afraid I don't understand that question. Can you re-phrase it?
3. Why people have different colors?
First and foremost, in order to adapt to the level of sunlight available in a certain region: sun-rich areas result in dark skin, whereas regions with less sunlight result in lighter skin tones. It's all about producing Vitamin D, basically.
Sexual selection and diet might also play a part in the evolution of different skin tones.
4. Why we only have five fingers?
Because we have ten, actually. ;)
5. Why ants are blind?
They aren't.
6. Why water is more than land?
Because "Earth" is a misnomer based on anthropocentrism. This planet ought to be called "Water".

shapeless
2.Which one is before the sky or the Earth?

depends on which way your coming from. if your coming from above, the sky, if your coming from the ground, the earth.
3. Why people have different colors?

different pigmations i suppose. different ancestors coming from different locations of the earth maybe.
4. Why we only have five fingers?

because our physical structure would have to be altered some to accomodate more.
5. Why ants are blind?

i didn't think they were.
6. Why water is more than land?
just the way it is. source of life, or just the way this planet is.
This is for now.
ok :)
