If you don't know the answer, give it your best shot. Once answered, you can then, in turn, ask a new rhetorical question. I will start with an easy one:



Why is the sky blue?

The centripical force keeping the earth from wobbling is the greater than the wobble was caused by changes in ocean-bottom water pressure and the remaining changes in atmospheric pressure.

What's the speed of dark?

Nobody answered the first question.
The sky is blue because oxygen is blue.
Have you noticed that the farther away mountains are, the bluer they look?
That is because the farther way mountains are, the more oxygen there is between you and the mountains.
Objects in an indoor room don't look blue because there isn't that much oxygen between you and the objects in the room.

The sky isn't blue because the sea is blue; it's the other way around.
The sea reflects the sky.
Or was that a joke?

If God is all powerful, why does he care if we love him?
