FIRST, SHOULD WE USE NUCLEAR BOMBS?

The basics on how nuclear bombs work:

Nuclear bombs are some of the most powerful and worst weapons in the world. They are some of the most radioactive structures in the world.


Nuclear bombs use both fission and fusion. Fission is when the atom splits and it causes lighter nuclei and for neutrons run free. Fusion is when nuclei charged in multiple ways regroup to form a stronger nucleus. Both fusion and fission both are based on radiation. Radiation is when one nucleus is split up and the protons, neutrons and electrons cause the same thing to happen to other atoms. Radiation is everywhere, harmless and necessary. But the more radiation there is in one place and the faster it is, the more heat there is and enough radiation together forms a radioactive electrical current.

There are different designs for nuclear bombs.

> The "gun- type assembly method" has chemical explosives and sub critical pieces of uranium 235 combined.

> The "Implosion assembly method" has a compressed plutonium core and highly explosive lenses surrounding it.

> The most powerful nuclear weapon is the hydrogen bomb. In the primary part of the inside of the hydrogen bomb, there is a fission bomb inside fission fuel (tritium, deuterium or lithium deuteride). The secondary part of the inside of the bomb is made of three layers. The core is made of a fissile sparkplug. Surrounding that is fission fuel. That is covered by a layer of uranium tamper.

The history of nuclear bombs:

Nuclear bombs have a tragic history. They've been used twice in war. In World War Two, the U.S unwisely dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. One was named "little boy" and the other "fat man." The destruction of the nuclear bombs were catastrophic. Researchers estimate over 250,000 people died from the explosion and that most of them were civilians. Even if that was an exaggeration, people are still dying because of illness and disabilities from nuclear waste.

Although the bombs dropped on Japan did help the war, in all, nuclear bombs were more destructive than helpful. The destruction affects not only Japan, but the whole world, because of the way the diseases from nuclear waste are obviously spreading. We will never know what else could have made Japan give up. There has to be a better way than murdering over 250,000 people, including mostly civilians.

The Bible is against nuclear bombs being used as weapons.

In the Bible, God put the commandment against murdering. In fact, in the Old Testament, murderers were put to death in public by stoning. He also made a commandment against stealing. Nuclear bombs break both of these commandments by stealing the lives of thousands and making certain areas dangerous to live in. No one is for sure how long it will take to get rid of the illness affects nuclear bombs have on us. There must have been a better way to stop Japan for fighting on Adolph Hitler's side in World War Two. Because the Bible makes it clear that the devil cannot absolutely make someone sin. It would be a sin to let Japan win the war and a sin to kill thousands of Japanese citizens. President Truman was obviously aware of the affects of doing either one of these. He should have found a way different from either of them. Why didn't he try something else?
