I know this may sound crazy for you, but...?

Question

When I ask someone: What exactly is a bolt of lightning?

He answers me trustfully: It's a massive abrupt electric discharge from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth accompanied by the emission of light..

- And what is thunder??

- A booming noise caused by air expanding along he path of a bolt of lightning..

Well, uh... That's the scientific view...

Here's the unexpectable point:

Have you ever known that the thunder we hear in the sky is actually the sound of an angel??!!

And those bolts of lightning are whips of fire held by him!!

That angel is as old as the earth, and he takes the responsibility of driving the heavy clouds away and spreading them (beside the wind)...

Lightning might occur while there isn't one piece of clouds in the sky (I've seen it myself).. And that proves...

Note: If you don't believe, it's up to you, but no silly answers, please!

I prefer not to tell the source of these information, but it's a trusted one... THANKS :)

Answer 1

thats a religious matter.. i wont interrupt what do you believe in..

but as a meteorology student i just want to help you:

a lightning is a discharge of atmospheric electricity, accompanied by a vivid flash of light, commonly from one cloud to another, sometimes from a cloud to the earth. The sound produced by the electricity in passing rapidly through the atmosphere constitutes thunder.

while Thunder is the sound of the shockwave caused when lightning instantly heats the air around it to up to 30 000 °C (54 000 °F). That super-heated air expands rapidly, then contracts as it cools.

when you see a lightning occur without cloud on the skies.. i think  is that you are seeing the lightning from those storms reflecting off of clouds, while the sky overhead is clear.

Answer 2

well when u are on the trampoline and u try to see the biggest spark when u put your hand up to the metal, is there an angel there?

now don't get me wrong, i'm very religious, too--but i'd have to side with science here

Answer 3

Sounds similar to the quote:

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.      -  Einstein

Science is the reason for lightning and thunder.  But who is the ultimate inventor of science? Those who believe in creationism, like myself, would say God.  

In other words, there are scientific explanations for most things in life, but the very essence of every speck of dust on this planet is the creation of a supreme being.  And, therefore science is a product of creation.
