Open Question: CAN SOME PLEASE REWORD THIS FOR ME PLEASE!?
Many different trees are found in the temperate forest including the maple, pine, conifer, hickory, evergreen, birch and sweet gum. There are also small plants such as shrubs, moss, ferns, and lichens which grow beneath trees. The hardwood trees loose their leaves in the winter. The temperate forest is also home to numerous species of flowers.

Open Question: What do you think would happen if you were taking to heaven alive, shown things and sent back?
What would they show you?
What is God's purpose for doing that?
Would you be able to comprehend everything?
As the angel takes you around, the first person you'll meet is father Abraham, angels, and people everywhere, singing, children with little harps, animals, beautiful gorgeous trees, shrubs, flowers, kinda like earth but more beautiful and colorful. Then you see a bright light coming through the crowds, Jesus Christ his chest emitting like hundreds of diamonds, he answers you thoughts as you think it. Then you walk with Jesus to see your home He has build for you, and then you go to see God, but the light is to bright, you fall to your knees, losing all strength, a angels gives you a copper color fruit to eat, you feel your strength come back, that you can bare God's glory, you see Jesus walk into God and back out, you never seen love like this before, You can withstand God's glory as Jesus blocks some of the glory emitting from God. You see God's thoughts swimming around his head, God breathes into his thoughts and born are baby spirits that say to God, send me that I be redeem......
What else do you see in heaven, before God sends you back to teach what you have seen?
Jesus shouting in from of the people preaching, I going back to get your brother, your sister, your mother, your father, and bring them back here!!!
You wouldn't want to come back once your there.

Voting Question: UK native dwarf shrubs/trees?
Hello.
I am wanting to create a hedge that is from a variety of british native trees preferably, but i do not really want to be trimming them as i prefer to spend my time on the veg patch.
I would like shrubs/trees that reach around 1m or so in height.
Are there any such species?
If not, are there any non-native species that still appeal to a variety of native birds and insects.
They must also be non-poisonous and able to grow in the midlands.
Thanks

Resolved Question: Did US forces ever locate the Bongazongoo African super weapon?
There is a well known super weapon called the Bongazongoo which the Booya tribe used to stave off wars between tribes and conquer enemies. It is said that the Bongazongoo although made of shrub, a tree log and some gas producing herbs (lethal of course) was used to wipe out entire regions of Africans at a time. This weapon could be used as a projectile into the middle of tribal regions and thus kill everyone, it was known as black magic but its real name was Bongazongoo. There was a case where Delta Force was sent out to locate it, as it was buried due to fear and in fighting, and there was once an idea that it could be used effectively in the case of Soviet invasion. Did they ever find it? What was the progress on that?

Resolved Question: What are thousands of inaccuracies in the Bible?
Here are a list of a few scientific errors:
I challenge any Christian on Yahoo Answers! to solve these so-called mysteries/miracles of the Bible that we can't seem to figure out even in modern day!
1. Astronomy: First we deal with Astronomy., The Bible speaks about the creation of the universe. In the beginning, 1st Book, Book of Genesis, 1st Ch., it is mentioned - It says… ‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about a evening and a morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot be created in a 24 hour period of six days.
2. The Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’. How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? - It is unscientific.
3. Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13… ‘Earth was created on the 3rd day. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth created, how can you have a night and day?
4. Genesis, Ch. No. 1 Verses 9 to 13 says… ‘Earth was created on the third day.’ Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses 14 to 19 says…‘The Sun and the Moon were created on the fourth day.’ Today science tells us… ‘Earth is part of the parent body… the sun.’ It cannot come into existence before the sun – It is unscientific.
5. The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to 13…‘The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees - they were created on the 3rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created on the 4th day.How can the vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and how can they survive without sunlight ?
6. The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, that…‘God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to the Hebrew text, it is ‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own.’ And that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says…‘And Almighty God placed them in the firmament, to give light to the earth… To give light to the earth.’ Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light - which is in contradiction with established scientific knowledge that we have.
7.It is mentioned in the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, Ch. No.1 Verses No.10 and 11, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.102, Verse No.25 and 26, that…‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, and they will perish.’ Exactly opposite is mentioned in the book of Ecclesiastics, Ch. No.1, Verse No.4, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.78, Verse No.69, that… ‘The earth will abide forever.’ Which will take place? The Earth will perish or abide forever? The both can't take place. It's unscientific!
8. In the field of ‘Diet and Nutrition’ lets analyse, what does the Bible say. The Bible says in the book of Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No.29, that… ‘God has given you all the herbs bearing seeds, the trees bearing fruits - those that bear seed, as meat for you.’ New International Version says… ‘The seed bearing plants, and the trees bearing fruits bearing seeds are food for you, all of them.’ Today, even a layman knows that there are several poisonous plants like wild berries, stritchi, datura, plants containing alkaloid, polyander, bacaipoid - that which if you ingest, if you eat there are high possibilities you may die. How come the Creator of the universe and the human beings, does not know, that if you have these plants, you will die.
9. he Bible has a scientific test how to identify a true believer. It is mentioned in the Gospel of Mark, Ch. No.16, Verse No.17 and 18 - It says that… ‘There will be signs for true believers and among the signs - In my name they shall cast out devils, they shall speak foreign tongues, new tongues, they shall take up serpents - And if they drink deadly poison, they shall not be harmed - And when they place their hand over the sick, they shall be cured.’ This is a scientific test - In scientific terminology, it is known as the ‘confirmatory test’ for a true Christian believer. There has not been a single true believing Christian that has ever passed this test, because no one's willing to even try.
10. What does the Bible say regarding ‘Hydrology’? Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.9, Verse No.13 to 17, that… ‘After God, at the time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood’ subsided, He said… ‘I put up a rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite good… ‘Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the world by flood again.’ But today we know very well, that rainbow is due to the refraction of sunli

Resolved Question: What is the best drought tolerant shrub for San Antonio Texas?
Im looking for recommendations on a shrub that would be good for the climate of San Antonio, TX. The ones I had before died. Here's my requirements:
1) short shrub, 3 feet tall max.
2) Drought tolerant(the drought killed my previous shrubs). I do not want to spend any time watering these, they need to be able to survive on their own. This is important.
3) They are on the NW side of my house, so they will be in the shade in the morning. In the early afternoon they will have a few hours of direct sunlight. In the late afternoon they will mostly be in the shade because there is a tree to the west of the shrubs.
