... I have to go searching again? You didn't take a screencap? Bleeeehhhhhhh... I'm curious, but I'm also lazy.
It was liked 14 times, so if you use most liked as the arrangement criteria, you'll find it faster.
Yay for laziness which makes me capable of scrolling, and unable to find something better to fill my time with.
Not screen capped, but End's response, and the replies.

Funny, I don't have more than a high school education, and I can solve all of these.

Padre Pio's stigmata:
As discussed, there is no evidence to prove that these wounds weren't self-inflicted. However, if Padre Pio did have his miracle planned in advance for the benefit of using his injury as evidence for others to feel calmer about their religious stability, then it makes sense.

The Hindu milk miracle:
One reason is capilary action. Another reason could be high pressure zones hitting all the temples simultaneously, which is possible and would make the trunk and bowl work similar to a mercury barometer.

The survival of Baiturrahim Mosque:
The mosque was over a hundred years old, which is to say that it was built of different construction materials, not the glass and plyboard that we use in modern construction. Older structures, due to this, have been proven to be sturdier and last longer.

How did the universe begin?
Science is actually pretty close to this, and in fact knows how you would go about solving it. This issue is that no one has yet been able to create a good mathematical formula that can relate quantum mechanics to general relativity, which explains how you get from something the size of a marble to something the size of the universe.

Do aliens exist?
Actually, the math gives a firm "Yes" (The Drake Equation is one example). However, the probability of one being in the neighborhood is low, so it's easy to doubt overall.

How many species live on Earth?
This isn't phrased correctly, because the number of species on the planet is constantly changing. Therefore, with the time and research, it would be possible to get a good number as to how many lived on Earth at a given moment, but a global answer is right out. less

TheMetal Ruh roh Raggy. It looks like 1More has angered the bigots with his "satan talk". He isn't saying that he has solved the questions. He is simply proposing valid arguments to these "miracles". Just because you don't understand science doesn't mean it's not true.

1More0pinion Additionally Vonzo:
Science never asks for the belief of something out of nothing, that violates the first law of thermodynamics. However, if there never is a starting time, then there is no time in which something needs to be made from nothing.

@Vonzo:
It's perfectly possible that the marble was always there. After all, science accepts the possibility of an endless case. Newton's first law, for example, suggests that an object can remain still or keep moving at a constant velocity until it is altered by an outside force. If such an outside force is never applied, then the object will remain as-is. If this can be so in simple Newtonian physics, why not so in terms of application to other areas of science. Alternately, there's the theory that Universes follow a cycle of expansion and contraction which could account for there not needing to be a creative force to make a pre-universe object. less

1More0pinion I'm not saying that religion is wrong, simply the article.

Vonzo1974 But where did the marble come from? "something the size of a marble to something the size of the universe" Doesn't science ask us to believe in something out of nothing? Sort of like religion. You seem informed and I've never heard a good answer to this question. Just wondering if you have one.

We stand in awe of your intellectual prowess. You have answered riddles that puzzled the greatest minds of the modern age with but a single post. Surely yours is the brightest mind on the planet as well as the most lacking in conceit.

Human civilization would certainly topple over and die if it weren't for the illumination you have bestowed upon us. less

Thanks.

That's quite hilarious. I find the replies more humorous though...
I did too. The people there are crazy.
Lawl.

They changed it to three. XDD
Apparently they've changed it to 3 questions now...
>_>

Shouldn't it be farenheit 842?

Or Celsius 451?
No.
Cellulose-based paper burns at 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
If your evidence is a bunch of easily influenced people over the internet, I'm not going to believe you. Just sayin'.

See section 2.1. I'm going to assume that Australia's fire department knows what they're doing.

Also, national council on fireworks safety:

I see your confusion though. There seems to be a general lack of consensus among the various sites.
