I…. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to take the Passion. That might be a brutal thing to witness. I would like to see dinosaurs and the giant dragon flies. | |||

This is exactly why I only included the Resurrection in my answer. I saw the movie The Passion once and that was rough and come no where near the true suffer Christ underwent for us. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Agreed, the crucifixion would be hard to watch. The resurrection is amazing to think of, much less watch. I believe we will be able to ‘watch’ any event past, present, or future once we slip the bounds of time. However, once in the presence of Christ we really may not care to. | |||

The Big Bang wasn't an explosion so to speak, and took millenniums. But if you meant before the big bang, we have no idea. If whatever before was visible, yea, that would be something. Maybe. Check out what Roger Penrose has to say about that stuff. Your bike accident, pretty serious, glad you're still here. Good lord. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E.

Getting to spend time with Jesus during his ministry would have to be the ultimate opportunity. I've been a Christian all my life, but we've been watching "The Chosen" the last few weeks, and while it's obviously dramatized it really has made me think about what Jesus must have been like as a person and that fact that he was probably pretty fun (if dangerous) to hang out with. The second one is harder. I think I'd like to travel with Lewis and Clark or the mountain men like Jim Bridger out west into unexplored territory and see what the American West was really like before it got populated and developed. | |||

Where did Blackbeard bury that treasure? I'll tell you after I come back from watching! If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Easy to pick, my dad at dinner after the first round of a golf tournament. It was a stag night steak dinner and I don't recall him every being that happy again. We played as a team and had a hell of a time. He was so cock sure we would win the 3 day event, he smiled all night. Yes our putters went dead and we lost. Second, the birth of Obama. I want answers. __________________________ The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting, it’s not for target shooting … it’s there so that you and I can protect our homes and our children and and our families and our lives.

I'd like to see how my great grandfather managed 4 wives. One was my dad's grandmother. Two more I found on ancestry.com Number 4 is in family lore, but no findum on internet. GGF came from Denmark to Utah about 1855. GGM came from same Denmark area (Randers, JUtland) in 1865. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

Facts are stubborn things |
Jesus' life, death and resurrection is a no brainer. but I agree watching him suffer would be tough. The silver lining would be knowing that his suffering has saved countless souls. The Constitutional Convention would be my #2. But the pyramids, Atlantis, Machu Piccu building, the Coliseum, Athens/Sparta at its height, The election of the first Pope, Columbus landing in the new world, Moon landing, grassy knoll, Ford's Theater, Ceasar's death, First performance of Romeo and Juliet, any Beethoven performance, Leonardo De Vinci's creation of the Mona Lisa, The Moai. I could probably think of a few more too..  Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||

Any moment with Christ. I’d like to be on the moon watching Armstrong land, the lander as well. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Given the probabilities of getting killified during those two events, you're more courageous than I. I read a Stephen Ambrose's book Undaunted Courage. When reading it you're transported back in time, and you're there with those men, it's pretty good writing to be able to pull that off. An amazing story for sure. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E.

The giant dragon flies not so much. The oxygen level was so high during the giant dragon flies time (they had no lungs), you would not have lived long enough to observe them very long because the high oxygen level would have killed you.

Gotta die sometime...might as well have a cool obituary, lol. I listened to Ambrose's book on one of our road trips, and it was fantastic. I've always loved the west...there's just something about how wide open and undeveloped it is, even today, that makes me appreciate the responsibility and self-sufficiency that is necessary for true independence and freedom. I'd jump at the chance to see what it was like before civilization came and diluted that. | |||

The OP’s rules are that you are not a participant and can’t change future events. If you got killed, the future would be changed. You’d have to be a fly on the wall and go unnoticed by those involved. | |||

Well that changes things. Back on track then, I didn't pay enough attention. I was prob thinking, 1) if you were observing in real time, 2) you'd have to be breathing, and 3) if you're breathing air that doesn't support human life, 4) you might die before getting an eye full.
