Answer 1

1. There are 8 planets.

2. They look through a Telescope.

–noun

  -an optical instrument for making distant objects appear larger and therefore nearer.

3, You know you are being a bit racist right?

Answer 2

1. On the planets. There are only officially 8. Pluto, formerly our 9th planet was reclassified a dwarf planet, along with Ceres, Makemake and newly discovered Eris. These, of course, are the ones we've seen through telescopes. Of course it is possible that there are more in our solar system, but not probable. More likely, there may be more dwarf planets or planetoids.

2. As to the authorship of the Bible, it was written by prophets who talked with God, and then spoke with the people and wrote down the words of God. (See Amos 3:7) I would recommend reading the Bible and asking God if the Bible is indeed His word. (See James 1:5) Also, I do not believe that God cares much about what color the prophet is. (See 1 Sam. 16: 7)

Answer 3

1. If your questions are serious, they're bizarre.

2. You come off as being quite racist.

3. There are 8 planets, and they are proven to be there through centuries of man's vision through telescopes.

4. It takes a long time to travel there because they are so far away - time = distance/rate. That's why. We can't go super speeds as of yet. Even if we could, some planets are made of gas and we wouldn't be able to "land" on them.

5. There are a lot of authors of the Bible, not just by "A WHITE MAN." Some were white, some were Jews, etc. But they're God's words written by man.

Answer 4

I agree with you. In today's bible it is changed. It is not it's original bible, because people kept changing things in it. Anyhow I do agree with you.. I PRETTY sure there are other planets but they're just behind those stars we can't reach into! and maybe there are humans in other planets, that we don't know, and that aren't the 8 planets, but i'm talking as in the other side of the stars, and they can't find us because we're a hiding planet, and it's probably impossible to reach here too! but aliens already landed here... who am i kidding. i just confussed as you! maybe we weren't suppose to figure this out. it's llike a big puzzle we solved. that god made.

Answer 5

I don't think you realize how big the Milky Way galaxy actually is.  It would take between 180 and 260 days to reach Mars depending on the path one took. You can't go in a straight line because it revolves around the sun so, one would have to leave Earth at the right time for Mars to be there when we are to land.  At any rate, even if it took "60" years using current technology, that would be a drop in the bucket compared to the vastness of space.  What is this nonsense about the "white man's words".  You think there are no black astronomers?  Like black astronomers looked into the heavens and saw something different but didn't tell anyone?  It's obvious you know how to read (your ability to write is questionable however) so crack open a book on the subject written by a black astronomer.  You might just find the information strikingly similar to what you have already heard on the subject.

Answer 6

We can see WAY past our own solar system, even into other galaxies, so we don't actually have to visit the planets in our solar system to know how many there are.  It's not like we're 15th century explorers just randomly running into landmasses to figure out what's out there.

Answer 7

1. We can look instead of going there.

2. Yes, it can take many years to reach the farther planets, but not 60.

3. No, "white men" are not the only astronomers.  Also, why does it matter?

4. The Bible was written by people in the middle East.  God used them to convey his own message.

5. You have really odd questions.
