How do we prove that someone is telling the truth? We take his words and compare it on the ground. For example, the Prophet Muhammad did not read or write, and despite that he told us in the Qur’an before 1400 years that the sky is made up of seven layers each having a function specific to it?

We can tell if what someone says is the truth by comparing what they say to observations we can make about reality. Not sure what model you are using, for example, modern meteorology and atmospheric science breaks the atmosphere up into 5 layers, not 7. Tropo, strato, meso, thermo and exospheres.

What fictional character you wish you were friends with in real life?

Suhuey, Master of the Logrus, of the Courts of Chaos. He seems like the kind of guy who would tell you stuff, unlike Dworkin Barimen.

How many chances do you give a person who's hurt you in some way?

Depends, of course, on how they hurt me and when. I'm pretty forgiving, but I have a long memory.

Do you like Transformers movies ?

I saw the first two (I think). They were fine, but I haven't stayed on top of the franchise.

Would you rather be able to dodge anything no matter how fast it’s moving or be able to ask any three questions and have them answered accurately?

Dodge anything, but only because the second one is too vague. Only three questions ever? Three questions at a time? To one person? To one person ever or at a time? What do we mean by accurately? Do we mean so that it properly answers the question or so that it's completely true? etc...

Would you rather know the history of every object you touched or be able to talk to animals?

I'd rather know the history of any object. Talking to animals would only make sense if they thought like people do, and that does not seem to be the case for most of them.

Who misses MySpace

I liked the online community a lot more back then. Way less hyperbolic and "click" driven. (No, that's not a misspelling of clique).

What’s something you look forward to on the upcoming spring/summer?

Sufficient vaccination levels for sars-cov-2 that we can start opening things up safely and people will stop getting sick and dying. That's a hope, but not very likely.

Would you rather go without the internet OR showering for a month?

Geekette
On a personal level, internet, However, I work as a network admin so that would probably mean I'd need a month off work too.

Are you the type of person with lots of friends or just a few close ones?

I don't have a lot of close friends anymore, but I have always had both.
