Quote# 49756

Planetary orbits are the idea that planets go round the sun.

Yet this phenomenum has never been observed. Psalm 93 and Joshua 10 make clear that this is not the case, but any scientist who subscribes to the Biblical view is deemed to be some sort of nutcase.

Scientists will not be happy until they have silenced every born-again Christian on this earth. Ultimately, (and as this nonsense in Geneva is showing), their sense of self-importance will be their own undoing. Playing God is a dangerous game.

Not nearly as dangerous as Monopoly. It always ends in tears. Blood and tears.

Wow, in this case he is almost as mad as the flat earthers. But at least he is one of the fundamentalists who know the bible good enough to know that our current cosmological model is in conflict with the bible. He only fails in drawing the right conclusions from this :D

What a shame the bible does not claim that pigs fly or that the moon is made of cheese. We could to continue to listen to persons with the intellectual development of Mr. Ellison explain how the bible is correct and our lying eyes are wrong. The world's oxygen is simply wasted on some.

This "phenomemun" was observed when the Mars rover arrived where it was supposed to based on a heliocentric model.

We have the Mars pics. We win.

Garvan Ellison isn't a Poe, please, please will people stop yelling Poe everytime they see something so stupid posted that they can't themselves believe it.

He posts a lot on BBC religion and most of his views are absolutley retarded and ridiculous.

In short people, yes, he really is stupid enough to say that planetary orbits have never been observed and ironic enough to put Dr before his name.

He isn't a Poe, stop yelling Poe for every bloody post we get I'm utterly sick of hearing it.

I hope to all that I hold dear that you never reproduce, as Darwinism doesn't always cull out gross stupidity.

OK, forget the astronomy failure and focus on his second statement: the presumption that science's main goal is to destroy religion, specifically Christianity. Why don't these people ever get that science doesn't care about religion because it's untestable and therefore outside of the scope?! Just because science is able to better explain our reality does not mean it's purposefully trying to eliminate religion. The "nonsense" in Geneva (LHC at CERN) is an experiment, nothing more nothing less. There are no divine or supernatural implications, be it good or bad. They are not "playing God" but merely using their curious nature to better understand how nature works. Period.

Kidding, right?

Here's the thing. Scientists have no agenda, I repeat, no agenda, to silence anyone. The only agenda we have is to observe and report on reality. If those conclusions do not fit with your world view then prove them wrong. Prove them wrong WITHOUT the bible.

What kind of name is Garvan anyway?

Playing God is a dangerous game.

Using god as evidence for your total FAIL is even more dangerous.

"phenomenum(sic)"

Whatever that is.

We need to talk.

Then I'm going to beat you to death with a 200" telescope.

Oh my god. You simply cannot possibly be this fucking stupid.

I'm with you, Garvan. Everyone knows it's really the sun that moves (pushed across the sky by a Scarab beetle).

The Bible also says those of strong enough faith can walk on liquids. C'mon over, Garvan, and show me both your great faith and the veracity of the Bible. They've got a nice mostly-liquid surface waiting for you down at the local sewage treatment plant.
