How wonderful.!!! You may see it as waffling, but what I said was valid as colours do affect us and we need oxygen given out by the plants. This was a reply to kronks' question. I'm glad you find science wonderful. Unlike religion, it is real. As far as I am aware, religion is actual experiences passed down and then written in a book known as the Bible. Evidently you cannot take the truth, because you obviously have a distrustful nature.

The big question is why are plants green? Or more to the point which is chlorophyll green when other coloured chemicals can get energy from the Sun? Oh dear. As we all know, the purpose of photosynthesis is to convert the energy in photons into the chemical bonds of sugars. Now here's where it gets tricky. Chlorophyll is specialised for absorbing a particular colour of light and converting the light energy into the appropriate amount of chemical energy for making a chemical bond. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light; it hardly absorbs any green light at all, so the green gets reflected back to your eyes. Why plants are green... solved. No not solved, other colours could have been used to get energy and use it for bonds etc...

The 'silly' questions as you call them are in total regard to the nonsense you peddle about experience. It is not nonsence, it is just something that you apparently know nothing about. Some highlights from this thread... I have met with Aliens.I am shown things just as certain Prophets were shown in the BibleReading an encyclopedia is not a personal experience which can be transferred to be used as evidence.I'll let others make their own minds up on where the nonsense originates.

If you are disputing this fact can we see some evidence that Chlorophyll does not absorb blue and red light? Here's mine Diethylether solutions of chlorophyll a (Chl a, solid line) and chlorophyll b (Chl b, dotted line) show distinct absorption peaks in the blue and in red regions of the visible spectrum.

Reading an encyclopedia is not a personal experience which can be transferred to be used as evidence
I'll let others make their own minds up on where the nonsense originates.Aliens do exist, and I have spoken with three of them whilst I was on an Alien Craft. And I saw one during the day high in the sky above my house. You cannot disprove this fact just because you haven't had this experience. The Prophets of old were shown things and I have been shown things as others today have also been shown. What's so unbelievable about that? Reading an encyclopedia IS an experience, but you still have to take my word that I did read it, so no matter what transpires in my life you are always going to ask for evidence in order to prove that what I did say, is the truth. You will either believe it or not.

I need to get my references now and so I’ll go and get my friends the Leprechauns as they keep my reference comic books.

Where have you been all your life? that you think there is no such thing as Alien life who come here in their space vehicles and been seen by so many people over the years and that I'm not dreaming up for something to talk about? Life is strange, so there is a lot going on that is still unexplained.

It is to the person who has had a similar experience to the one mentioned in the Bible. Goodie, I'm not the only one who has had that experience, I thought I might have been hallucinating.
