“The EARTH is not a PLANET”
Yes, yes, sure, sure. YOU know the truth.
“1. THE SUN IS A PLANET !”
Well, if it’s in CAPS LOCK, it must be true.
“We live on a speck in a vast, impersonal universe. Really?”
And you can’t stand it if you’re not special.
Well, you can get therapy for that or you can ignore pretty much all of science, all the best theories, and insist that you know better than the experts who actually study this shit as their livelihood.
“How do "Scientists" know that the Earth is Moving?”
Short answer: Science.
Long answer: We have gyroscopes that are sensitive enough to measure the movement. Seriously, either the building they’re in is moving to the East at 700 mph, or the Earth is.
“You tell me.”
I just did.
“Infidels scoff at the Bible by saying that the stars could not move quickly enough to circle our world daily.”
Yes, some of them would have to be going faster than the speed of light. Which science says they cannot do.
“Well, if the globe is spinning rapidly, why doesn't our atmosphere spiral off?”
Gravity.
“Atheists tell us that the earth is spinning, circling the sun, rotating with the galaxy AND rushing away from the big bang. And neither you nor I can
feel any motion!”
Because humans don’t feel motion.
What we feel is a change in motion.
Ever been in a car doing 70 mph? Do you FEEL like you’re doing 70 mph? But when the driver sees a cop, you feel them slow down to 55, don’t you?
We’re kinda pinned to the shell of the Earth that’s moving around it’s axis, moving around the moon, moving around the sun, and moving around the galaxy, AND moving through the universe… But at a steady pace, and we’ve acclimated to the motion. Now, if the earth STOPS moving, we’ll fucking notice it then.
“The Senses don't Think!”
The senses evolved for a certain scale. WE don’t have to feel the Earth’s Rotation in order to catch a gazelle.
“Modern "science" is based on the false assumption that our five senses are the only path to truth.”
No, it really is not. For one thing science tells us there are 19 senses….
“This is called "empiricism".”
that’s not the definition of empiricism.
“But one does not think with his nose or eyes - not even with his brain. It is only the MIND that forms hypotheses, develops experiments and defends conclusions.”
And you’re going to tell me my mind is NOT in my nose?
Pshaw.
"It is a prideful lie of modern unbelief that knowledge comes only through the senses… The Bible is the manual prepared by our Creator to explain His universe to us. We should not ignore it to follow the fables of foolish men.”
Um, we access the Bible through our senses, you fucking idiot.
