How many gods and goddesses did the Greek believe in?
"Polytheism" is the word you're thinking of. According to the Greek Mythology which was considered live history for the average ancient Greek person there were three generations of gods The first generation was Uranus and Gaea - Ουρανός και Γαία. Uranus and Gaea had many children also known as Titans - Τιτάνες Τιτανίδες. Cronus = Time - Κρόνος = Χρόνος son of Uranus and Gaea conspired with his mother Gaea against his father Uranus and one day he manages to kill Uranus who was cut in pieces that were thrown in the universe creating the first stars. The genital parts of Uranus that were fallen into the ocean gave birth the goddess Aphrodite [one of the versions] Cronus married his sister Rhea but as he was afraid that he will face the same fate as his father he was eating the newborns when Rhea delivered them. Rhea had lost already five children when she decided that when the sixth would be born she would protect him/ her from his father. When the sixth was born, a boy, she managed with the help of the Cretes [Κουρήτες - Κρήτες] - men of Crete to hide the new born in the mountain of Ide. She replaced the child with a large stone that Cronus ate. In the mean time Zeus, the new born, was raised by the Cretes and the holy goat Amalthea. When he came of age he made an agreement with some of the Titans to take over the powers of Cronus. With their help he managed to take control of the situation. He killed his father Cronus and liberated his brothers and sisters, Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Demeter. Zeus married his sister Hera and agreed with his brothers to define the areas of their responsibilities. Hades had the control of the world under, Poseidon ruled the surface of the land and the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers while Zeus maintained control of the air. His six children that were born by Hera - Ares, Mnemosyne[Zeus] - Athena, Leto - Apollo and Artemis, Maia - Hermes, Hera - Hephaestus and his brother and sisters were the famous 12 Olympian gods and goddesses who were ruling the ancient Greeks until the dawn of Christianity at 395 AD/ CE.

Why does the water level rise when a bell jar is on top of a candle?
Because the candle takes some of the oxygen out of the air inside the cup, converting it into compounds with the candle material that have less volume than the oxygen had. This lowers the air pressure inside the cup, and the water level rises to compress what's left, until the pressure inside and outside the cup are again equal.
What were the languages the people spoke when the Holy Spirit came upon them?
Taken from the 2nd book of Acts. Many languages, at least five, were spoken as the Holy Ghost filled the people in the upper room, and visitors from out of town heard them speaking in tongues: As the scriptures state, each heard his own language being spoken, ie, folks from all these places heard their native language spoken: * Phrygia, * Pamphylia, * Egypt, * Libya * Cyrenesalem Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at JeruParthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Why were so many people in Jerusalem act 2 1-17?
It was the time of "Pentecost"... one of God's annual commanded "holy convocations" (commanded assemblies)."...the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days... that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations." (Lev.23:16-21)It had been fifty days since the Passover [the first annual holy day of the year] which would have initially drawn most of the people to Jerusalem for the feast, the day after Passover [Lev.23:5-6].The Passover drew people from far and wide."...how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians..." (Acts 2:8-11).The journey to Jerusalem for the Passover was a long one... and these people had stayed in and around Jerusalem through and beyond the Passover to be there for Pentecost before they returned to their homes and countries.We know this because Peter [who cowered, ran and hid in terror from the Jews on the Passover] stood boldly before them on Pentecost and accused them all of having murdered their Messiah on the Passover!"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, AS YE YOURSELVES ALSO KNOW: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, YE HAVE TAKEN, AND BY WICKED HANDS HAVE CRUCIFIED AND SLAIN..." (Acts 2:22-23)."Therefore LET ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, WHOM YE HAVE CRUCIFIED, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart..." (Acts.2:36-37).Acts 2 is an account of the end of the Lord's springtime annual Holy Days, the time of the Lord's "early harvest" that year when Christ became "our Passover sacrificed for us" [I Cor.5:7]... which is marked by Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was given.
What section in the Bible features the last words of Jesus?
John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Matthew 27:50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. Luke 23:44 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. One could assume that Luke (presuming, for the sake of simplicity only, that the authors of the books correspond to the names of the books) was close enough to hear what Jesus cried out in a loud voice, while Matthew and Mark did not. John could've been even closer, close enough to hear a quieter final sentence. Acts 1:7-8 He [Jesus, see Acts 1:1-6] said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holly Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." What were his last words? Matthew: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (xxvii, 46). Mark: "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (xv, 34.) Luke: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" (xxiii, 46). John: "It is finished" (xix, 30). Why the contradicting statements? Because none of the four (John, Matthew, Luke, Mark) were present during the crucifixion. In other words, sources are from hearsays. Were the disciples present at the crucifixion? No (John 19); except the "disciple whom Jesus love." John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! John: "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" (xx, 22). This was on the evening of the resurrection. Forty days after this he said to them "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts i, 5). Acts: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come ... they were all filled with the Holy Ghost" (ii, 1-4). This was seven weeks after the resurrection. 452 On what day of the week did it occur? John: "The first day of the week" (xx, 19). John, like the author of the first Gospel, is evidently ignorant of the Jewish method of reckoning time. He makes the evening (it was night) following the first day a part of that day instead of the next day to which it belonged. 453 Did Thomas receive the Holy Ghost? John: He did not. He was absent when the disciples received it (xx, 19-25). 454 Who had Jesus said would send the Holy Ghost to his disciples? "The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send" (John xiv, 26). "I [Jesus] will send him unto you" (xvi, 7). 455 What effect had the Holy Ghost upon them? Acts: They "began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (ii, 4). Concerning this "gift" Greg says: "Ignorance and folly too often became the arbiters of wisdom -- and the ravings of delirium were listened to as the words of inspiration, and of God. If Jesus could have returned to earth thirty years after his death, and sat in the midst of an assembly of his followers, who were listening in hushed and wondering prostration of mind to a speaker in the 'unknown tongue,' how would he have wept over the humiliating and disappointing spectacle! how would he have grieved to think that the incoherent jargon of delirium or hysteria should be mistaken for the promptings of his Father's spirit!" (Creed of Christendom, p. 250.) 456 Who heard them speak in new tongues? Acts: "Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians" (ii, 9-11). Did representatives of all these nations really assemble to hear the disciples, or was this merely an imaginary gathering of the writer? Evidently the latter.
What day in Acts 2 did the holy ghost was upon the people?
2 Acts Acts > Chapter 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 1 AND when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
