When you can explain to me why water going down a sink hole in different hemispheres rotates in opposite directions then you can question the authenticity of God

Well, someone has fallen for an urban legend it seems. Which doesn't surprise me at ALL.
Well, the coriolis effect will influence the direction that water moves, but only on a large scale - not on a small enough scale to change water in the plughole. It's all about how the sink is made, and where the water flows from etc. I should know, I live in both hemispheres.
All right, when you can explain to me how the hook-for-a-hand was hanging from the teenager's car door handle, then your claims of a deity will hold water.
It's those gay, liberal, communist, feminist, Islamic, fascist, atheist, Darwinist sink demons.
Funniest.doesn't go in opposite directions. That's a myth. It all depends on the physical qualities of the vessel, the liquid, the hole, the surface texture, and the kinetic qualities of the immediate environment.
This doesn't make sense. Even if drain water did rotate in a different direction in the two hemispheres - presumably from the Coriolis effect, according to the urban myth - what would that have to do with the "authenticity" of God? All the Coriolis effect proves is that the earth is a rotating sphere.

Well, I guess it's all the same to a fundie.
Urban myth about the Coriolis effect, therefore god? I have to say, I am convinced

So god is not only powerless against iron chariots, but also against fancy toilets in US embassies?

But second, I have occasion to dump a bucket of water into the toilet about 3 times a week during the summer. I amuse myself by pouring it to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, alternating with every trip to the restroom.
If I were GOd, though, i could see making the flow rotate differently in different states, just to see who notices and if they figure out why. Like clockwise for those states that were named with more vowels, counterclockwise for those states with more consonants in the title.
Then Survey teams would take tiny, precise toilets along state borders to map the very exact line of demarcation, and claim that ‘GOD HIS OWN SELF declared that this rock is in Utah, rather than Nevada!’
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
