Bill Nye Hates God

The author of the Genesis passage would seem to have lumped the visible planets in with "stars". Therefore, to say these planets are not stars is unbiblical. Nuclear fusion powers Mars and if you think otherwise Satan is planting wicked, evil lies in your head.

Isn't this a bit old? This happened back in 2006. It seems like every six months or so this story gets repeated as if it were a new event.

I weep for the future with these fools in it. Flat, young earth for them, no doubt.

Looks like the local newspaper that originally did the report pulled it from their online archives for no reasom, which was part of the linked article above, the story has since been reposted after someone complained.

Still funny, though.

I missed this when it first happened. The best part, though, was this line from the source linked above:

Next he is going question the fact that the sun evolves [sic] around the earth and find himself in a papal trial.

:D

It's a good thing he didn't mention that the Moon is sometimes up during the day instead of the night. Imagine if people in biblical times had known _that_ !

An engineer I worked with had learned as a child that the sun and moon are never in the sky at the same time, and no argument, or diagram, would change his mind. I took him outside to the parking lot and pointed at the sun and the moon.

Initially he disbelieved what he was seeing. We went back to the diagrams and he began to accept the arguments.

The next year, I was with him when he witnessed the solar eclipse.

"Fortunately, there were educated people in the audience . . . " Wow, what can one say?
