Atheists: if god isn't real, then how come grass stands straight up even though there's GRAVITY!? Christians: 1 Atheists: 0, amirite?

Excuse me, kind sir or ma'am, but grass is able to stand up straight despite gravity in the exact same way you are able to stand up straight despite gravity. You see, there are different gravitational pulls within different planets. Earth has a gravitational pull that always things to stay on the ground without crushing them like some other planet's gravitational pull would. Other planet's gravitational pull allows for objects to float away. So yes, there is a scientific explanation for why grass can stand up straight despite gravity. And yes, I am a Christian. But I also believe that science does have validity.

but since grass is very weak, it won't stay up straight. Another flaw in science that people are too close minded to notice.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Grass is not some flimsy little paper. The structure of the grass enables it to stand up straight.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

but it's as weak as paper

by Anonymous 12 years ago

No it isn't.

yes it is. I can rip it in half easier than I can with paper

by Anonymous 12 years ago

If you hold a piece of paper the right way, it can also stand straight up. Your logic is flawed. Also, learn how to use proper capitalization and punctuation.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

But grass isn't standing up the same way paper is. It's slightly bent. Also before you correct someone else's grammar, learn you'res first. *You're

The fact that you changed the correct "your" (possessive, as in YOUR stupidity) to "you're" (meaning YOU ARE, as in YOU ARE very dumb) only heightens the hilarity of this situation.

Wow, "learn you'res first"? So that sentence should read 'learn you are's first'? Stupidity.

if you can rip grass easier than paper that means paper is stronger paper cant stand up (unless you place it in a certain position god finds aesthetically pleasing) so grass can't stand up either except god bam game over

by Anonymous 12 years ago

That's because grass has higher compressive stress values than paper but lower shearing values than paper. Just google those two properties and you'l get it.

grass has cellulose to help keep it up. Cellulose is quite rigid.

Secondly, before you correct someone else's grammar, I'll have the honor of checking YOURS. "... easier than I Can with paper"... What? You're *too* stupid, not to. And the best for last- *learn your grammar first* not [shudders] you'res (that's not even a word!)

Excuse me, 'hun', but yes, there is validity to science. It neither proves nor disproves God's existence, at least not in my opinion. If you really want to believe that grass stands straight up because of God, then so be it.

You happen to be able to produce more force than gravity has on you, if you couldn't, then you wouldn't be able to jump, so the fact that you can bend grass doesn't mean gravity would be able to.

Grass is an autotrophic organism built with rigid cell walls. These cell walls hold the plant upright the same way a tree holds itself upright.

Did it take a long time to type that or did you copy and paste all of them?

Never underestimate the stupidity of people...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

In addition to the cell wall and cellulose, plants stand straight due to transpiration. Water is able to move against gravity and up and out of the plant through the xylem and out the stomate. This movement up water keeps some plants up, and the hydrogen bonds make capillary action possible. Also, plants stand upright when they have an excess of water, making them turgid. If they are lacking water, they will actually droop because of gravity. With even less water, they will wilt. Also, notice how some taller grasses DO droop. Oh, and the only reason I responded to this obvious troll post is because I need to review for AP BIO anyway.

I'm a Christian yet I'm also a future scientist (Hopefully an Astrophysicist one day!). But who says science and God don't play hand in hand. I think the laws of the universe were his own creation. But back to the question: Well scientifically Gravity is a force pulling you towards the massive object, and the one we are referring to right now would be...Earth Now grass stands up because the chemical bonds that make up the structure of a blade of grass are strong enough to hold up against that pressure. The same way you sit on a rock and it doesn't collapse under the pressure/force you are pushing down on it. The chemical bonds that connect the atoms in the rock's structure are stronger in unison (considering how there are SOO many of them) than the strength that your force is putting on it. God gave us minds to investigate the world he made for us. So lets use them and see the beauty of how grass can stand up while it can also stay on the ground. 15 year old girl knows a lot more about the universe than you do. Hmmm what does that say...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Mostly irrelevant: my friend believes you can't be a scientist and believe in a god because scientists believe in the scientific theory and you can't use that in relation to god. He says your science is still valid but you're not actually a scientist. I think this is silly and that science and religion can go hand in hand. That's just what I thought of when I read this.
