Earthship\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nEarthships are earth-sheltered autonomous buildings made of tyres rammed with earth, which are usually arranged in a "U" or horseshoe shape. Each tyre is rammed full of earth using a sledge. Depending on its size and the soil density a tyre may weigh more than 300 pounds when properly prepared. Windows on the sunny side admit light and heat. The "U" shape of the structure faces South in the northern hemisphere, and North in the southern hemisphere, so that the house will catch maximum sunlight in the colder months.\n\nInternal, non load bearing walls, are often made of a "honey comb" of recycled cans separated by concrete. The walls are then usually thickly plastered, using the pull-tabs on the cans as a lathe to hold the adobe and stucco.\n\nThe roof of an Earthship is heavily insulated.\n\nIn mid-September Hurricane Marilyn roared through the Caribbean, destroying a quarter of the homes on St. Thomas, one of the U.S. Virgin islands. Full restoration of power took several months. Three thousand miles away, in Taos, New Mexico, Mike Reynolds, owner of Solar Survival Architecture, read the news and saw a demand for Earthships.

Try reading John Milton's book, Paradise Lost...it will clear up all of your "first people on earth" questions.

please.....understand this...\n\n\n\nGod is a proper name.. HE is what (us) Christians call as their (our) divine Creator...\n\n\n\nbut god is a common name... it can be anything or anyone that resembles something with great power or influence..it can also be a synonym for deity...\n\nlike pagan gods or "money is a god" or animal/ nature gods (kami)... anyway, point is, when u capitalize "G" then you can't use it in statements like "money is a God"..y? \n\nwell like I told you "God" is a proper name.. using "a God" is grammatically wrong (and is very much wrong in essence) because of the article "a" added to it....also, statement like that violates the First Commandment (which I just did, anyway I was just using it for clarity sake)

House of God - It's also the name of my church, actually.\n\nLook at Gen. 28:19 and the surrounding story. Most Bibles have a footnote about the word Bethel, too. Good name!

Cerulean is a good name for the blue planet. It means "sky-blue".\n\nNot sure about the bridges one or the moons. You should think about what the bridges are crossing over, maybe that would help. A bridge normally spans something so perhaps Spansive or something.

I always used the passage in Matthew where it's said that the Earth is God's footstool.  Then, I would say that because God created the Earth, that it is sacred, and we should treat it as such.\nShould we not treat the Earth as well as we should treat each other?

To answer the whole question --the fifth human person named is Enoch, whose parents were "Cain and his wife"  (Genesis 4:17)\n\n(Not to be confused with the Enoch more people may have heard of--a descendant of Seth.  Cain's son is involved in building the first CITY, but the other "walked with God, and he was not, for God took him" -Gen 5:24.   Ironically, the 'Sethian' Enoch is named as the father of Methusaleh, who is considered the 'oldest man' though he died before his father!\n\nIf anyone is interested in word meaning and such, the Hebrew word Enoch --or we could more precisely transcribe at as 'Chenoch' [the 'ch' in each case being pronounced like the ch of Scottish "loch"]-- means 'dedicated, consecrated'.  It is the root of the word Chanukkah/Hanukkah, that is, the [Feast of] Dedication [of the Temple], celebrating the cleansing & reconsecrating of the Temple during the Maccabean revolt, after Antiochus Epiphanes had deliberately desecrated it.)

OT is Off topic\n\nGWN is another story , I am not familiar nor can I find a likely answer. It could stand for Great White North but the most likely to be in a chat/messenger context would be Gundam Wing Nataku: Genesis, a role-playing game (RPG) on the EZboard network

Must have been some terrific star ship if one ship could help earth people kill everything in the universe.\nSince we can see out 13.8 billion light years, that's a heck of a lot of space to rocket around in to find everything to kill.\nBut since there are still some earth people left, maybe we'll just repopulate the universe.

I thought it was neat when the Shoemaker-Levy comet crashed into it a few years back.  Jupiter is kind of like our solar system's vaccuum cleaner - it sucks up a lot of debree that could destroy us or other planets in this solar system.  Ain't God smart?

OK since I got it and kinda missed it on the other then I will try this one.\n\nThe Y should stand for Yearly...as in Geology everything forms and deterioriates yearly. \n\nIf I thought you wanted a more philosphical answer I would have said that there is NO answer for the letter Y because it is the end of the word Geogology and there is no end to Geology no matter what happens to the earth....Thank you though for the earlier one, I did work hard for the extra credit.  Great questions...this one was a little shorter. Thanks Teach...Alda

Earth refers to this planet.  World could mean any planet that is inhabited.  \n\nSince we don't know of any other inhabited planets, the two are pretty much interchangeable outside of science fiction.

The planet Uranus wasn't named until about 1850 (it's not visible without a good telescope, so it was only discovered relatively recently), so the word "anus" came first.\n\nIt was named Uranus to be consistent with other planet names, which were all named for Roman gods (although Uranus is a Greek god).  Uranus was a roman god... and that use of the name long predated the word "Anus".\n\n'Anus' in the way we use it now was introduced in the 1400's or 1600's (depending on the dictionary) from the latin word for ring.  So although both came into use recently, the word anus as we use it is older than the planet name Uranus but not the god name Uranus.\n\nHope that answers your question.\n\nEDIT: An interesting note regarding pronunciation.  After looking into it, the older pronunciation is indeed URanus, but urANus became popular because it didn't sound like "urine".  But now the trend is going the other way because of the anus joke.  Both are listed in most dictionaries.  Here's a link regarding pronunciation: http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-words-of-disputed-pronunciation

Uranus was named after a figure in mythology as were the other planets.\nHerschel who discovered the planet in 1781, wanted to name it after King George, but he was of course forced to comply with protocol and choose an appropriate name from Mythology.\nUranus was the son of Gaia the earth goddess, and was the god of the sky.

Hey bud, sorry for all the rude answers you are getting to your question.\n\n"B.C." stands for "Before Christ." Our calendar says it's 2006, meaning that Christ was born about 2006 years ago (exact date is disputed). \n\nNot to confuse the question, but the Bible teaches that although Jesus walked the earth some 2000 years ago, he actually created the universe prior to coming to earth as a man. Compare Genesis 1 (talking about God creating the universe) with John 1 (talking about Jesus, or "the Word", creating the universe). You can read these chapters by clicking the links below.\n\nSo while it's true that there were many people born before Jesus in the "B.C. era", Jesus really came before everyone as he was in heaven long before he created the earth. In other words, Jesus (the Son of God, as a person) has ALWAYS existed. Always. But he became a man and lived on earth for about 33 years. Today, he's alive in heaven like he was before coming to earth. And he's coming back again one day to judge the people of the earth.
