For today’s science wackery, I give you Heliocentrism is an Atheist Doctrine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems clear that it may occasionally be convenient to assume that the calculations of Copernicus and Kepler were mathematically sound. However, for both moral and theological reasons, we should always bear in mind that the Earth does not move. If it moved, we would feel it moving. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called empiricism, the experience of the senses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s also wrong because Newton had to “invent math” to make it work, as a quoted list of facts shows. In fact, let’s take a look at several of those facts.<\/p>\n

2) The earth moves only thru abstract, abstruse, and esoteric mathematics invented to make it move.<\/p>\n

4) Relativity is pure claptrap and there isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a person reading this who can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that fact.<\/p>\n

5) Foucault\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pendulum, the Coriolis Effect, and geostationary satellites do not prove a moving earth.<\/p>\n

6) Anyone can see that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiments\u00e2\u20ac\u201cespecially the light fringe results\u00e2\u20ac\u201cprove a stationary earth; and other facts about eclipses, satellite re-positionings, alleged blinding earth speeds, gravitational hooey, etc., add to the proof….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why is this such a concern? Because the evils of heliocentrism must be opposed because it led to evolution which leads to Godlessness.<\/p>\n

Are you ready for the punchline? This post is on a blog supporting Sam Brownback for president.<\/p>\n

Look, people, even your Heliocentric hero Galileo recanted his idiotic notions about the Earth revolving around the Sun. If he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your so-called reliable source on this, I think it does wonders to shatter the idea\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s credibility that one of its main proponents backed away from it so abruptly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can’t stop quoting from this article! It’s a treasure trove of awesomeness. And don’t miss the comments, where someone asks if the post’s writer is trying to “give Jon Swift a run for his money”. The writer replies, “Who’s Jon Swift?”<\/p>\n
