I refuse to believe that darkness is only the absence of light. Just because we haven't invented darkbulbs (probably because we don't need them thanks to walls and ceilings and whatnot) doesn't mean that darkness is only the absence. Just like there are stars in the sky that emit light there are black holes that swallow it up and emit darkness. And now that the science is over onto the concepts tied in with the light and the darkness.
I tire of the whole light is good and darkness is evil. I don't think of them entirely as the known and the unknown either. I prefer to think of them as order and chaos. Light being order and darkness being chaos. Too much order is definately a bad thing, and so is too much chaos. Back to the known and unknown. If everything has order then it can be predicted easily and so it is known. Chaos is unpredictable and thus leads to the unknown.
What led me to this way of thinking: As a child i was never afraid of the dark and I can move around in it just as well as in the light. I enjoy roaming through the forests at night with not but the stars to guide me. I am not a fan of the light or the daytime. I also would rather die than lead an entirely safe and predictable life where the same thing happens every day. I would much rather explore the world, taking only what I absolutely need and living off of the land... not only in the woods and forests but in the cities as well. The unpredictable life of adventure is what I desire most.

And now that the science is over onto the concepts tied in with the light and the darkness. Black whole do not emit darkness. The "black hole" part of a Black Hole is in the center, the gravity from a BH bends light around it so that you see light swirling around the event horizon (the black center). Black Holes do not emit either darkness or ligth, Black Holes do not emit jack-s**t. They suck things in. I'm sorry, but darkness is indeed the absence of light. That's why your shadow is dark, your body blocks the light leaving a human shaped shadow where the light cannot reach. Nothing from that first paragraph of your post was science.

I see light and darkness simply as different perspectives. I'll use Christianity and Satanism as an example. Christians feel that are in the light and that Satanists are stuck in the dark. On the other hand Satanists feel they are in the light and that Christians are in the dark. So to me there really is no light and dark, just different perspectives.

The person speaking is God: Quote: "Evil is a word we use to describe the absence of Good, just as we use the word darkness to describe the absence of Light or death to describe the absence of Life. Both evil and darkness can only be understood in relation to Light and Good; they do not have any actual existence. I am Light and I am Good. I am Love and there is no darkness in me. Light and Good actually exist. So, removing yourself from me will plunge you into darkness. Declaring independence will result in evil because apart from me, you can only draw upon yourself. That is death because you have separated yourself from me: Life." — William P. Young (The Shack)

I think of darkness and light as night and day. Electromagnetic Energy ftw.

I guess I was wrong about the black holes... but I still say that there is more to darkness than just the absence of light.... what about reflective things that cast of... I don't even know what those things are called except possibly shinies... My point is what is the difference between those and shadows... because honestly most things are reflective... And asto those who say that it is harder to see in the dark that depends on the amount of darkness and I would like to point out that more light has the same effect.

Reflection is what happens when waves can't pass through an object and, instead, bounce. Same with light. This is also slight a case like refraction where light bends when entering a new medium or what a wave vibrates in. Light reflects because it can't pass through an object.
Shadows are just caused when something is not taking light.
Shinies, or whatever you are talking about, is light reflection like mirrors.
Oh comeon, really? Did you not go to middle school? The eye takes in light so it can see, the only reason objects have color because of light pigment.

Reflective things bounce light in another direction. They do not work in any way similar to shadows. Who was your seventh grade science teacher? She/He failed in every possible way.

Unless he is thinking of that movie "Mirrors" where evil lives in mirror-like objects. lol

rmcdra Lost Journeyer I personally don't get why generally light = good and dark = evil, I like darkness, and I'm christian. But i do have a theory, God created light, he did not create darkness, it was already there, the same with heat and cold, God created light and heat, without God you have cold and darkness, and that's my theory anyway. Isaiah 45 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things. thanks again sweatdrop
