Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (~300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed ... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C. -- From Applied Optics vol. 11, A14, 1972 Quote
ronthepon Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 ****! So much science in so much religion! They must have reffered to you, JQ, before they wrote all that! Truly lovely analysis! Quote

arkain101 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 was written before I was born The information was made Now. As Now changed, the information remained intact in the change for you to find now and make information now and add more change... :shrug: Quote

From heaven and that's why it was burning a hole in my pocket.:eek_big: Quote
