A.D stands for "Anno Domini" which is Latin for "The year of our Lord."
It does not stand for after death.

Jesus did exist. It's a fact that atheists can't deny. The real question would be "Was Jesus really the son of God, or was he just making everything up?"

Which is fortunate, since the other assumption means that he would have lived for less then a year, assuming he was not born in the "Before".

The matrix.... I sometimes fear that it's true. So, am I the only real person? Are you all fake? Who is watching me? Why am I here?

hopefully nobody has asked this one

does our eyesite go strait or does it arc ?

I don't know the specifics of eye-brain interaction and the processing that occurs, but for practical purposes, you see straight. Eyesight is only possible due to light. Light travels in straight lines. Light can be bent, thought, due to refraction, gravitational lensing, etc. Heck, your eyes have lenses. Using a different example, the sun. When you see the sunrise or the sunset, that light is bent due to atmospheric refraction so you see the sun rise before it actually rises and you see the sun set after it actually sets.

If you want to consider your definition of straight and the curvature of the universe well, that you can't answer.

I don't see the relevance of this question. Either you freak out and meaninglessly ponder whether or not you actually exist and are paranoid over if people are real or if there's a purpose, or you just accept that this is what is and think on it in your free time and don't get too serious about it.

Does the thing we call the "Universe" really have no boundaries? I'm asking because, (and read on if you dare because this goes more into pure theory with a bit of common sense) The Universe literaly means "Everything". So if you think of things like that, what if there are more of these "universes", as in larger bodies that contain galaxies, that contain solar systems, that contain stars and planets? and THEN comes the Universe in its true definition. What I'm saying is that the Universe as we know it may just be too large to measure right now,and it really DOES have a boundary, and then those "universes" are in THE Universe.
Sorry for the rant, but i've always wanted to bring that point up. :P

or it has boundaries, which inevitably means there's an endless void around it.

[/i]What wouldhappen if you threw a ball into the endless void?
that is impossible,in fact,that is not real.

Are we human, or are we dancer?

dancer?

Any physician here to confirm or correct that?...
