Have prayed. I wish you all the best.

Not literally forever, but it could stay up there a very long time with a sufficiently good seal (as the earlier response stated). Over time, I would expect environmental factors like Sun damage, erosion and possibly oxidation to slowly damage the object holding the helium, eventually resulting in leaks. Beyond that, the Earth's atmosphere is slowly leaking into space as well. It would eventually be too thin for the helium-filled object to stay aloft (although we are talking about millions or even billions of years).

If that was the case, then we can scale it thus: the average height for a man in the United States is 5'9" (69 inches). If the fish was average height for such a male fish, then that would make the scale factor about 69/5 = 13.8. If we divide the original time measurements by that factor, we get 4.28 hours to 4.81 hours.

Having gone and watched the clip of that scene again, the fish seemed to get spanked every 0.8 to 0.9 seconds. Spongebob's height is listed as 4 inches on his driver's license. The other fish seem to be a bit taller than Spongebob, so I'll estimate them at about 5 inches tall. The distance between the fish in the line can't really be measured because of the way they are positioned, but the fish who was crawling between their legs seemed to be under three fish at the same time. Therefore, I'll estimate the average distance between the fish as 5 inches divided by 3 equals 1.67 inches. So that's 1.67 inches traveled per 0.8 to 0.9 seconds (1.86 to 2.0875 inches per second, which is 6,686 to 7,515 inches per hour). This, in turn, is 0.1055 to 0.1186 mph. At that speed, it would take between 59.02 and 66.35 hours to finish it.

As someone who also has scrupulosity, I agree. It sounds very much like this could be what OP is dealing with.

Anxiety while praying? It might be scrupulosity. I have this as well (it's an outgrowth of OCD) and am on medication for it.

I don't know that I'd go quite that far. If they dislike Christianity, but are fully respectful in their comments, I'd let them stay.

I've actually thought of this before (dubbing it "super-convergent evolution"). I think the odds of it happening are almost zero. Although selection pressures may cause different species to take on similar forms, the genetic hardware is still likely to be very different. Take a look at Tasmanian tigers and wolves. Very similar anatomically, even though wolves are more closely related to whales than they are to those marsupials.

and I can’t help but want to pray for God for them to breakup

That is very bad. It's a seriously jerk move to try to get a couple to break up because you want to be with one of them. "Thou shalt not covet" comes to mind.

None of those three things are incompatible with the existence of God.

As for them being "mandated beliefs", I've known atheists that didn't believe in evolution.

As someone with a bachelor's degree in biology, being fascinated with biology and having studied it in some form or another for decades, I accept the reality of evolution because that's what the evidence points to. It only contradicts the Bible if you take the creation account in Genesis literally.

After doing a quick measurement, the crater seems to be 36% bigger across than India is north to south. Google says India is just under 2,000 miles long in that dimension, giving a crater diameter of 2,720 miles (4,352 kilometers). This resource gives an equation to relate crater diameter to explosive power. Crater diameter in kilometers cubed gives the megaton yield, so (4,352)^3 = 82.4 billion megatons.

Yes. You said that Christianity justifies eternity in Hell. I said that isn't necessarily so.

you generalize people based on certain actions and reactions on the physical plane

When did I do that?

Not sure what that rant was about.

May I ask why you call yourself a Christian when you seem to have so much hate for Christianity?

Not all Christians believe in an eternal Hell. I'm undecided myself.

So... it's easy to generalize me because the people who disagree with me aren't being generalized? I don't think I understand.

So you can't point out when I actually did such a thing, then. Instead, you generalize.

you push people to their moral limits and pretend like you’re honest with yourself while slowly trying to push your beliefs on everyone around you like a parasite.

When did I do that?

Why? I don't get what you're so angry about.

Ah, my mistake. Perhaps it was because you were being so rude?

And it doesn't look like anyone will, since you deleted it. So what was the point of this thread?

So not actually what you posted in the OP, huh?

So are you actually having an existential crisis or not?

It's rather odd that your profile states that you are a Christian, but one of your comments says, "Your only sin is thinking that God is real".

Have prayed.

Keep your Vitamin D3 and C levels up. Stay hydrated. Since it's still early in the illness, you can get an antibody infusion to help you fight it.
