Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I think so. We were all born as sinners, even Jesus, as it is human nature to sin. But if we can truly let God into our hearts, we will go to heaven. I think.
Yeah, but to quote my hero, that's a 'futures and pasts' argument.
If it is human nature to sin, surely we can only be held responsible for it, once we've been born and we've been busy sinning?
To be born a sinner tends to suggest that we're being set up to fail?
I can’t find the bike riding thread so I’ll ask here: we need to stick 3 bikes on the roof of the Volvo xc40 in the summer,we’ve got aero roof bars that are 80mm wide,when I bought a cheap Halfords carrier before Xmas for the nippers bike it didn’t fit the bars.
I’ve been having a look at some other ones and can’t work out what I need,is there some sort of adapter required?

:shock: we're in Bloody England man!
mm indeed. Should be feet & inches......
Looks like it's irrelevant anyway. I've just looked at my trainers... the label inside says that they're 275mm. I've pulled the insole out and measured that and it measures 290mm. It's no wonder people have trouble finding shoes that fit.

Sake of argument, if an atheist lived a charitable and decent life and God did in fact exist, would the atheist be allowed into heaven when he pops his clogs?
I think the answer would likely have to be a flat no.
Almighty God, the ultimate creator of the universe & everything in it, gets a little peeved when after all of that colossal effort that he put in, some ungrateful, disbelieving b*stards don't believe in him. As punishment he then doesn't let them into heaven & hopes that's a warning to everyone else.
He's not the only one mind, Allah's also just as touchy.
Not that I want to start any blasphemous rumours; I don't want to be smitted.
I'm going to be smitted, aren't I...

Could the universe run out of hydrogen?
(or the other light elements for that matter)
Nuclear fusion occurs in stars as hydrogen is turned in to helium and the infinitesimal change in mass is released as energy. Helium fuses to form carbon (I think) etcetera until iron remains and the star fizzles out or there's a supernova as the nuclear fusion stops and the star collapses under it's own weight then explodes. It's believed that the violent supernova can fuse even iron to form the heavy unstable elements such as uranium, and throw them out into space.
But what about all the hydrogen that's been burned? Will the universe simply run out?
Being the most abundant element in the known universe? Probably not.
Certainly not before our Sun stops shining.
