The human body is made of 70% water, although gravity has the same pull the weight in the water of the body is about 1/4th of the weight on the ground..☺

On a philosophical level.... I would say it's a natural balance derived from natural occurrences. There are many different forms of weather, but the natural capability of movement shifts in many rotations causing a range of wind that forces climate change and therefore causing dramatic changes and patterns. on more of a documented scientific note I would say:The blanket of air that covers the earth is called\n\n  the atmosphere. The bottom layer of the atmosphere is \n\n  called the troposphere. The troposphere is where all of \n\n  earth’s weather happens. Basically, our weather is \n\n  caused by two things: the sun and moisture in the air.\n\n  These two things together can form clouds, can make rain\n\n  and form thunderstorms, and cause winds to blow. Without\n\n  the sun and moisture in the air, our earth would have no \n\n  weather at all. In fact, there would be no people on our plantet\n\n  \n             Another thing that helps to cause the earths \n\n   Weather is air masses. When two air masses come \n\n   Together, the line between them is called a front. Along a\n\n   Front there is usually clouds, rain, and maybe thunderstorms.\n\n   The movement of air masses helps to cause weather \n\n   almost  as much as the sun and moisture in the air. Without\n\n   air masses, all the earth’s weather would stay in one place

it would not be impossible. it would just be impossible to live for very long once either born or once starting in the womb.\nThe body is made up of +70% water.

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body that it could squirt blood 30 feet.\n\nBanging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.\n\nThe strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.\n\nA cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds up to 60 mph.\n\nBy age sixty, most people have lost half of their taste buds.\n\nHumans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5 pounds a year.\n\nIf you fart constantly for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.\n\nIt is impossible for a human to lick their elbow.\n\nYou cannot sneeze with your eyes open.

I don't know if it is a few inches, probably not that much, maybe a few centimeters, but yes, this is true. Humans, or any creature for that matter, are rarely symetrical and our entire bodies are off by a hair. It is very rare to have any part of your body match up exactly with the other side (eyes, arms, fingers, toes, etc).

There is a good discussion on this on a snopes.com messageboard (see link below). The best guess appears to be Air.

Not unless the wind carries it because whilst the earth is spinning around rapidly, so is everything on it. If this were not the case, and a person jumped straight up into the air they would shoot of in a direction and this doesnt happen

Using mathematics to determine the chances of life elsewhere in the universe, one estimate determines that there are approximately 10^75 advanced societies.  If true, then it is very likely that there is life beyond earth – even advanced life forms.\n\nSteve\n:-D

Linmar--i want to propose MY personal theory, which cannot be scientifically proven in any publication to date.  I had a vision one evening after watching a show about spontaneous combustion victims.  One victim was a middle-aged man with a stump for an arm.  He described the event as a mild tingling with no pain, and much to his dismay, his hand and most of his forearm turned to ash.  \n\nUsing his experience, this isn't about fat burning, or too much oxygen, or even about oxidation as we know it.  The material in our bodies has stored chemical potential energy.  We have internal heat generation which keeps our bodies warm.  It is like a clock spring slowly unwinding.\n\nNOW, if you sped up this clock, relative to normal time-space, your energy would dissipate so rapidly, that the object WOULD turn to ash due to the release of heat.  If a human arm dissipates 10 watts every second for the lifetime of the arm, say 70 years, that equals 22*10^9 joules.  THAT"S A LOT OF ENERGY.  Now for instance, if for some reason a time-space continuum intersected with the man, if his arm actually was accidentally inserted into another dimension whose time constant was 100 times our speed, his arm simply aged and died.  All the energy that would have unwound in this time space over the course of 70 years, unwound in minutes or seconds.  If there are time-space defects and other dimensions, it makes sense that entropy may not unwind at the same pace in all spaces.  \n\nIt reminds me that the earth is travelling at thousands of miles per hour through space.  We have no perception of this at all.  But put a cosmic bed post by the earth, and have an impact, BAM!! Bye-bye earth.  I think it is the same thing.  For some unlucky reason, I beleive this particular man had an interdimensional event wherein the potential energy in his arm dissipated very quickly in that other dimension.  \n\nFood for thought--tell me whatchya think.

Yep, if you stand on your head. . .LOL.\n\nSeriously though, anything is possible.  I suppose it would be considered a birth defect, though.

life needs not only oxygen but othere conditions as well. Life needs essentailly he fore of gravity for the proceses of life to be active .It is graiy tha keeps the sir balanket over the surfaxce oif he earth . But for that , the air would vanish into thin air ! - would anish into space . Water would not flow and our food would not go doen  our throat and would not even be able to defecate . aain the climate is also imporant . We hae go to be at a distncefrom the dun hat would be expose us to a ligh and heat that is cinsucive to the development of live and tolerable to life .ALL  he planets around the sun are not locaed at a sistance very conducive to the deelopmemt of life like us .and all of hem dfo not hav a gaviy  tha is suitable for the fuctioning of our system . We are not independent of our great mother earth. We will not survive in any planet which dose not hae an amospher  and gavity like the earth. Oxygen alone won't  help us live .Since the building blocks of all elemens ar the same - electron and proton - we would be able create oxyen in any planet by a suiable process that man would be able to create by manipulaing the numbver of electrons in the aoms of any subasance aailable in any pkanet . We do not hae to transfer oxygen anywhere . we can create oxygen from   whatever is available anywhere.

That would be a cold (or at least cool), dry mass of air that originated over a large region of land near the north pole.  (Not over an ocean, unless it was the Arctic Ocean, which is covered by ice.)

Have you ever heard the term "critical mass" as it applies to inanimate and animate entities? It's the point when enough systems come together to form a working entity that something is considered alive.\n\nAs for not being able to create life forms, I have heard of experiments where scientists were able to create a primitive cell using simple chemicals. In the same way that soap has a hydrophilic (attaracted to water) end and a hydrophobic end (repelled from water), a cell wall has an interior layer in which the hydrophobic ends face each other and the hydrophilic ends form the inner and outer walls of a cell. There is also a mathematical point where the cell wall is the most stable with respect to voulme- any larger and the cell tends to split, and any smaller and the cell will burst with internal osmotic pressure.\n\nAs for the argumant that DNA is too complex to come about by simple random selection, RNA is easily created using just nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. An RNA molecule is the precursor to DNA and has some interesting properties- it can exist as a single chain and although more difficult to copy, the development of the double helix did away with the difficulties of copying and issues of heritability and mutation (both beneficial and harmful). Interestingly enough, viruses use RNA almost exclusively, and they are almost considered alive, yet they lack some of the major requirements of biological life. RNA is also self-replicating and forms quite easily under the right conditions- one of the major factors of DNA.\n\nIn one of my College Biology classes, we learned of an experiment where the scientists put carbon dioxide gas, water, and ammonia in a flask which was slightly heated, stirred, and subjected to a high voltage spark. After a while, the flask was opened and the contents were chemically tested for what was formed. Several simple proteins and short chains of these proteins were detected- some of the proteins detected was the proteins used to construct RNA and DNA. The conclusion of the experiment was that if these proteins are so easy to form under these conditions, life created spontaneously was not an impossibility but inevitable under the right circumstances.\n\nIf the earth was 100 degrees hotter, a lot drier, covered in oceans, a primarily ammonia or methane atmosphere, we would have adapted as we developed and changed (evolved).\n\nWho knows? If we developed on a planet where the average surface temperature was 200 degrees below the freezing point of water and we breathed ammonia, the earth we now know would probably be considered a oxygen-poisoned too hot hell hole- surely no life could have evolved there- but here we are.\n\nAs for creating biological life from a copy, the DNA code for a human would reach to the moon (360 million miles). A lot of the DNA code we have no clue what it is used for, how much of it is actually used (like the brain, we might only need about 10% of our DNA to operate on a daily basis), and the fact that most of the DNA we have is only used while we are in the womb to develop from a single cell to a multicellular organism.\n\nOne of my favorite sayings is "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", which means that as the fetus develops, the organism goes through what appears to be different stages of our evoultion to get to where we are today. Interestingly enough, a chicken, pig, and a lizard ova and a hman ova at identical stages of development look surprisingly identical to one another. This is where geneticists and evolutionists agree that humans must have hada common ancestor with proto-hominids, or pre-apes.\n\nI hope this helps.

Thats wierd. I think its possible though because humans are wierd creatures.

maybe take a different approach and look at how a simple chain can be formed from nothing. what are the odds of that happening. take a spin on the WWW to find out.

+\nReal\n\nNo one really believes that the human eye developed from some other biological structure in one single generation, \nNo one believes the iris could have developed without a cornea, or a retina without a lens, or a pupil without an eyelid to protect it.\n\nEvolution of complex organs can’t occur in a single generation,  parts of organs cannot  evolve without the other parts. That is demanded by the concept of the survival of the fittest. Part of an eye gives no competitive advantage to one over another.\n\nEvolution of a specie is impossible!\n\nThe nest possibility is chance….   One day a man happened   without cause…..\nNot very likely\n\nThe last alternative possibility is that the spiecie migrated here from some other point in space or some other dimension.\nThat would still leave us with the question were they created…  and the same choices..\n\nYes creationism is real and the only logical possibility\nthere are many good resources
