I know the title can be construed as a bit serious, so I’m going to state right off the bat that it’s not going to be. These are mostly rather light-hearted questions I want to ask God when I get to heaven.
Feel free to add your own in the comments.
1. Are there really aliens in other galaxies/planets?
2. Jesus, what in the world were you doing until you hit 30? I know we know one story about you in the synagogue as a boy, but what was your daily life like in those years until you hit 30? And did you really invent the chair?
3. Who really killed JFK?
4. Do you know everything about the future? How so if you give us free will?
5. Ok, so was creation really in 7 literal days or over millions/billions of years?
6. Jesus, what if Judas repented before he actually betrayed you? Would you have sought another ‘candidate’ for the traitor role? (yeah, I got this ‘what if’ in there!)
7. What’s the deal with you letting David and Solomon have multiple wives? I’ve heard this answer, but David was noted as a man after your own heart!
8. What’s the deal with cavemen? Did they even exist?
9. (and of course the Dinosaur question) Did man coexist with dinosaurs at all?
10. And lastly… How the heck did you fit all those animals into Noah’s Ark?! And what did the carnivores eat for all that time?
I think I have more than 10 somewhere in the crevices of my brain, but this is all I have for now.

I don’t know why you went to all this trouble. I have all the answers!
1. That is not pertinent information to you and God’s plan for you. Let it go.
2. He was studying Scripture and developing his trade. Of course he invented the chair. He invented everything, at one time or another.
3. God. God kills everyone.
4. Of course he knows everything. I really don’t think we’d have much of a God if he were shocked and surprised by each person’s bad decisions. I don’t think he’s some cosmic babysitter going around picking up the pieces and trying to keep the house in order. Just doesn’t make sense.
5. Literal days. But a literal day to God might just as well have been a million years to us… ;)
6. I don’t think it’s really a feasible “what if,” although I love these kinds of questions. The Bible says he was selected for this… there was no getting out of it. I actually blogged about it a while back, if you’re interested. (a href=”http://vanityofvanities.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/saint-judas/”>Saint Judas)
7. Because they were human and reflecting the culture of that time. Not okay, but typical. You can be after God’s heart and still screw up all the time.
8. Sure. Who’s to say that Adam and Eve had the same skeletal structure that we do?
9. Again, this knowledge is not necessary to your calling. ;) (Mine, yes. But not yours. So, I’m not telling.)
10. Obviously, there were fewer animals because not as many had evolved. It’s also obvious that God satiated their hunger supernaturally as well as took care of their excrement miraculously.
This is really such simple stuff! ;)
You made me laugh out loud.
God miraculously taking care of the excrement never dawned on me. such a simple answer – and the literal days to us being not literal days to God. Let me think about that for awhile.
;)
