Our Solar System For Kids

Barry Said:

anyone heard the rumors about planet x aka nibiru? ?

We Answered:

It is a hoax. There is no actual scientific theory or evidence that anything unusual is going to happen in 2012. It is a collection of myths and disproven theories being promulgated by doomsday predictors, who predict a new one every few years.
It is based on the end of the current cycle of the Mayan long count calendar. Their calendar was done in ages or cycles and their years ended at the winter solstice. The current cycle ends December 21, 2012. They didn’t predict the end of the world, it was only the end of that cycle.
Nibiru (Planet X) doesn't exist. Zecharia Sitchin is an author of books promoting the ancient astronaut theory for human origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki (or Nephilim) from a hypothetical planet named Nibiru in the solar system. The Doomsayers predicted that it was to hit Earth in 2003. Undaunted when it didn't show up, they just moved it out to 2012 to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar.
Galactic Alignment – There is no galactic alignment occurring in 2012. It takes 36 years to precess through galactic equator, and we will be 6 degrees off in 2012. Even if we did have an alignment, it would have no effect on us. The vast distances involved outweigh the effects of gravity.
Asteroid Apophis - the 2001 alert was for 2029, and was canceled after additional observations showed it would not hit us.
Polar Shift - the magnetic poles are moving all the time. Polar reversals have occurred in the past, but we can’t predict when they will occur again.
Passage through a "photon belt" has been added. This is also untrue and wouldn't hurt us if it were. Photons are merely units of light.
Solar flares happen all the time and we have more of them at some times than others. They haven't caused any serious problems in the past. The direct effects of solar flares are mainly related to communications and radio transmissions. We had a major series of solar flares in 2005.

What galaxies are close to our milky way galaxy and the sun's in them ( exp, N, E, S, W of us)?

We Answered:

1. Space is three dimensional, so you can't represent the nearby galaxies on a flat piece of paper. To N, E, S, and W, you must add up and down. Actually N, E, S, and W are meaningless in space since these refer to directions on the surface of one planet, Earth.

2. Our Sun is just one of billions of stars in one galaxy, the Milky Way.

3. First you must map the stars in the Milky Way (again in three dimensions). Look in Wikipedia under "Nearest Stars."

4. Then you must map the other galaxies in respect to the Milky Way. Look in Wikipedia under "Local Group."

At one time it was believed heaven was in the sky and hell was underground. Where are they now?

We Answered:

In the mind , as it has always been

Jessie Said:

the deal with religion?

We Answered:

Be careful what you ask for on here.
Your question was respectfully asked, you will not get a lot of respectful responses because to ask such things is to challenge beliefs of people who will not except any other belief or ideas.
To them it is what it is, but good luck all the same I hope you get some good answers.

Charlotte Said:

How is religion believable?

We Answered:

Only those who are spiritually blind cannot see God.
