There are 6 known dimenions:
Length
Breadth
Height
Time
Energy
Matter
I heavily guess that there is a 7th dimension... why?
Cause God does things in 7's.

So you think there exist seven dime onions? I guess that's possible.
Perhaps you could learn to spell what you are talking about?
Length: Read the whole book, realized it's taking Jesus way too long.
Breadth: Searched the world far and wide, can't find god.
Height: I've had it up to here with fundies telling me the rapture is coming soon.
Time: Time's up! Jesus ain't coming back. Jesus died, Jesus lied.
Energy: I don't have the strength to fight off another fundie attacker gauranteeing me that the bible is the inerrant word of god.
Matter: Mind over matter; using my mind I realize that religion doesn't matter.
The seventh dimension is on the BBC and you can also access it on-line.
The seventh dementia is sunday church.
Energy and matter are, at the quantum level, the exact same thing. It is easy to convert matter into energy (burn some wood, for example), but I'd like to see you convert width into height... and no, simply turning the object on it's side does not accomplish that...
And basing your assumptions about the physical universe on the supposed favorite number of god is just silly. Why not 40? He seems to like that number, too. Or 3? After all, you have the whole trinity thing.
Burning wood is a chemical reaction, it does not turn matter into energy,it turns matter into another form of matter in an exothermic reaction. Nuclear fusion turns tiny amounts of matter into vast amounts of energy (Einstein's equation E=MC^2).
Anyways...7th dimension? How about "stupidity"? I'm sure all you fundies would be proud of how big your "stupid" is.
You propose that Matter and Energy are dimensions ? And there have to be seven dimensions because "God does things in sevens"?!?

I love Bone_Vulture's idea, but suggest a slightly different name, such as something like "Physics Course Grade 'F.'" It's just nice to skip the term "award" once in a while.

Why does skynes care about dimensions? They are (like everything else in science) just "made up" and are only "theories", so why involve The Perfect God and His Immaculate Bible?
It is a SIN to mix apples and bananas, skynes!

Really? My chem teacher from college maintained that there is some matter lost as it converts to energy, that the mass of the fuel prior to combustion is less than the mass of the resultant debris.
Of course, that was 40 years ago and chem never was my best subject, so I'm not about to claim authority here. :)

No, there is no matter converted to energy in chemical reactions, including burning. Just matter changing form releasing existing energy.
At least, that is what I was taught.
Well, and why not eight or nine, to justify your stupidity?, with so many things that he's done so far in the ones we can see.

Probably referring to the energy emited as light, heat and so on. That energy is effectively lost, and it was contributing (very slightly) to the total mass. I believe that even in nuclear reactions (with much stronger forces involved) the difference is less than 1%, but that could be my faulty memory.
Aaanyway, he said: I'm not some PhD grad or anything
No shit...
Papabear - You forgot
40 days and nights of rain, 40 years of wandering in the desert
10 plagues of Egypt
70 years of exile
5 books of the Torah
The poster is probably not only thinking of 7 days of creation, but all the mentions of 7 in Revelations (seven trumpets and seven seals).
Since when are matter and energy dimensions?
And actually, there are 10, 11, or 26 (or so it would appear).

The mass of the remaining ash is generally less, because some of the matter escaped as gases (notably CO2). But no matter is lost in combustion - the energy comes from rearranging chemical bonds. You still have exactly the same number of atoms of each element (and the same distribution of isotopes, barring any radioactivity among them) - they're just connected to each other differently.
C'mon, everybody, sing!
Well, this is Number Seven
And we're halfway up to Heaven
Roll me over, lay me down
And do it again!
Huh. In Physics I learned that everything can be expressed using only three variables: mass, space, and time, and that all other units such as energy, force, resistance, etc, were just combinations of them.
One son.
Two lights - one to rule the day, one to rule the night.
Three wise men - with no idea on how to buy for babies.
Four six winged beasts in revelations/ corners of the Earth/ rivers [thousands of miles apart] fed by one spring in the garden of Eden.
Five - a five year old male slave is worth 5 shekels. (girls are 3 shekels) - it's the correct number for sacrificing rams, "he-goats", and lambs.
Six days to create the universe. (ha ha)
Seven of each kind of animal used for sacrifices in the ark.
Eight days old is when you get snipped.
Nine is the number of tribes that finally made it to the promised land.
Ten plagues of Egypt.
Eleven curtians in the tabernacle Moses built in the desert.
Twelve pearly gates of heaven in New Jerusalem.
Thirteen people at the last supper.
Fourteen wives had Abijah.
Fifteen cubits is how much the flood covered the highest peaks by.
Julian, and everyone else who's been offering numbers up: there's a fun song for Passover that counts up from one, with something of religious significance for each number. The last verse is
Who knows thirteen? I know thirteen! Thirteen are the attributes of God; Twelve are the tribes of Israel; Eleven are the stars in Joseph's dream; Ten are the commandments; Nine are the months to childbirth; Eight are the days to circumcision; Seven are the days of the week; Six are the orders of the Mishnah; Five are the books of the Torah; Four are the matriarchs; Three are the patriarchs; Two are the tablets of the covenant; One is our God in heaven and earth.
These counting songs remind me of one I learned in Boy Scouts -- "Green Grow the Rushes, Ho." (And "ho" didn't mean what it means now when it was written!)
The countdown at the end goes like this:
Twelve for the twelve apostles.
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven.
Ten for the Ten Commandments.
Nine for the nine bright shiners.
Eight for the April rainers.
Seven for the seven stars in the sky.
Six for the six bright waters.
Five for the numbers at your door.
Four for the Gospel makers.
Three, three, the rivals,
I'll sing you two, two lily-white boys,
clothed all in green, ho.
One is one and all alone and
ever more shall be it so.
I may have a couple of words slightly off (e.g., I have no clue what "bright shiners or April rainers are, so those might be just homonymic syllables for the words that should be there) it's been at least 25 years since I sang that song with others who knew it.

In all chemical reactions, there is a slight change in mass, and, therefore, energy. An atom on its own has very slightly more mass than when it is bonded, because some of the mass is converted to the bond energy. In an exothermic reaction, the sum of the energy of the bonds broken exceeds the sum of the energy stored in bonds in the final product of the reaction. Therefore, some tiny fraction of the mass will be released as energy.
Napoleon: first four are wrong . He says 'length' and 'height', referring to the same thing. They should be length, breadth, depth and time. Or equivalent words. The point is, two of the first three are used to refer to the same thing.
I'm not entirely sure but isn't there some debate about whether time is a dimension.
Also, about the wood burning, all the energy co,mes from bonds between atoms being broken and formed. As neither fission nor fusion is taking place no mass ic converted into energy and vice cersa.
Burning conserves total mass. You apply O2 to a carbon-hydrogen chain and pretty much get H2O vapor, CO2 vapor, and small amounts of incompletely burned (or non carbon-hydrogen) material, known commonly as ash.
The light and heat is sheerly a result of electrons moving / bonding in different ways.
Matter only converts to energy in nuclear reactions. Energy converts back occasinally on the quantum scale. The last part there I am fairly certain is the balance.
It's "Width" not "Breadth". And Energy and Matter aren't DIMENSIONS.
And definitely, cause the only 7 I can even think of from the bible is the 7 days.
But really, non-sequitur of the month?
The 5th dimension is "left road, right road". For example - what would my school day have been like if I had worn a skirt instead of pants?
What would the world be like if Krakatoa hadn't blown?
Parallel universes of infinite numbers, with one difference.
7 seas, 7 days in the week, 7 dimensions...makes perfect, logical sense.
Is breadth really different from length though? And if not, does god do things in 6's? Uh oh....
_______________
**Remember, god loves you and he NEEDS money**
length, breadth and height are the same dimension - length.
ironically, my Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas (buy it now!) has 7 dimensions - length, mass, time interval, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance and luminous intensity. Fuckwit.
The fifth dimension is choice, actually. Every time you make one, it spawns a new universe. That's the theory, anyway.
Oh, there is more.
Besides Dimensions in Space (3 of them), Time, Energy, Mass:
Electric charge
Temperature
Angular momentum (again 3 of them)
So we are already at 11. And there are a lot more physical properties (Energy and Matter aren't dimensions)
Seems that modern physics wins over your "god", doesn't it?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
