How can you explain the fact that we see a great range of colors even though only three cone tpyes exist?

This is because multiple cones may be activated at the same time allowing us to see many colors. The three cones may not always be activated to capacity, and the blending of the activations allows us to see variations of color, just as you could mix different amounts of paint colors (red green and blue) to create many colors.

How does Zeus effect today?

Zeus is an important character in Greek mythology, which is a study of interest for modern scholars. Although it is widely accepted that Zeus does not exist, we can still enjoy the stories on their entertainment value, and primary school children take great pride in being able to recite the names of the Pantheon (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hephaestus and Hermes) (though this is no great achievement in itself, in case you're gloating). Therefore, although Zeus is not a real character, the myths hold great value to our society


Do extra-terrestrials exist?

Definitely. As described in the Bible at Revelation 12:7-12, a great war took place in Heaven, after which Satan the Devil and his demon angels were thrown down to the vicinity of the Earth. These ones certainly qualify as extraterrestrials and they do still exist. They're just not the entertainment industry's idea of E.T.

How can you see a great range of colors even though only three cone types exist?

A nice question. To the best of our measurements, the cones are not monochromatic in their response. This is they actually respond to a broad region of colours, and some of this response may even overlap with an adjacent colour cone. This is nicely shown in the article on Cone cells in wikipedia. You have about 4.5 million cone cells and 90 million rod cells in each eye. Your eyes are actually an extension of brain, and it is in the brain that the discrimination between all the colours and shades is made.


Why Christmas tree do not have flowers?

The immature cones perform as flowers - I have seen conifers (firs and spruces) in a high wind with great yellow clouds of pollen blowing from them. When these small pollen producing cones are cross-pollinated they develop into cones which bear the seeds. As the cones ripen and spread open the seeds - each with its individual propellor like wing - pop and fly out.
