or thoughts on these questions.
On this page,
we at Universal Vision pose questions which might have implications
for humanity's future, some questions possibly related to earth's past,
or just some thought-provoking concepts. We try to pose questions which
will cause people to think about things they may not have thought of
before or think about them from a different viewpoint.
Question:
The economic situation we have been expecting has arrived. What is next?
Civil unrest? An increase in crime?
Question:
Is
God splitting the US into multiple tongues (Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish,
English, Ebonics, etc.) like it is said He did in the Bible?
Question:
We've had Generation X. We've had Generation Y. Is the current
generation, Generation Z , the last one?
Question:
Are the people who believe in Revelation’s prophecies
bringing them about?
Question:
The
great earthquake in Indonesia and the resulting tidal wave near the
end of 2004 have created what some people are calling the greatest disaster
to befall humankind. The aid being promised, while generous, may not
be enough. What would happen if we were to have multiple such earthquakes
and tidal waves in succession at various places around the world? How
would the world respond? Would the nations of the world be able to help
each other, or would these events cause the world economic and other
systems to collapse?
Question:
What would we do for movie and related types of entertainment
if there were no war or crimes committed in them? How would the daily
news programs fill their allocated times if there were no war and if
no crimes were committed?
Question:
Is Pakistan today the Iran of the 1970s, only with nuclear
weapons? What happens if General Pervez Musharraf is assassinated, overthrown
or "unelected"?
Question:
People have questioned for decades whether the dropping
of the atomic bombs on Japan near the end of World War 2 was justified.
People have taken a variety of positions on this matter.
Some argue that they were justified because they would have
saved up to 1 million American casualties should an invasion of Japan
be necessary. Some argue that they would not have been justified under
any circumstances. Others argue that it was not justified because the
war was almost over, that the Japanese Emperor was only trying to find
an honorable way to end the war, and that the war would have ended soon
anyway. Some reports say that the bombs were dropped because President
Truman wanted to demonstrate to the Russians that the United States
had the bomb and was willing to use it.
But what if the bombs had not been dropped? How would history
have been different? Is it possible or even more likely that a much
larger nuclear war might have occurred in the interim, as people would
not have been so horrified by the use of such weapons?
Question:
Which came first? The chicken? Or the egg? Our answer to
this old question might surprise you and provide food for thought.
For our answer, see our pamphlet
"Creation,
evolution, or ...?"
Question:
What comprises
the universe?
1) Is it the current size of what is thought by most to be an expanding
universe?
2) Is the universe infinite?
3) Is it the limit, if it is not infinite, of what an expanding universe
can fill?
4) Is the universe growing or getting larger with time – i.e.,
is additional space created as the galaxies and other objects expand?
Or is the universe really expanding? Or does it really exist at all?
Are there other possibilities? We address these types of questions in
our pamphlet Creation, Evolution,
or ...?

galaxies is the farthest humans have been able to peer out into the
universe in the visible spectrum. What is out there? How far does it
extend? (Photo
