“Somewhere deep inside of ourselves we all know we’re not on a spinning rock.”
You mean, some of us realize that’s an oversimplification?
“We know Australia isn’t Down Unda. We know our aussie mates aren’t walking around upside-down and rotating at the same time.”
Ah. And by ‘we’ you mean you and the mouse in your pocket?
“We know gravity doesn’t make any sense when applied to vast oceans tipped over and under and swirling.”
No, makes sense to me. Stop projecting.
“We know how water works. It always finds its level within a container. Sea level is there for all to see.”
Ah. Good point. So can explain why is sea level on the Pacific Side of Mexico so much higher than sea level on the Atlantic side of Mexico, if the water isn’t sloshing against the shoreline?
"There is no curvature of the earth.”
So you say… Can you show this in any way BESIDES insisting that we all agree with you? Because i sure don’t.
"We’re stationary.”
Dude, we can actually measure Earth’s rotation with a gyroscope. I TEACH that in the purpose and use of the Azimuth Measurement Test of the D5 Trident Missile.
"The sun, moon and the stars move around us.”
Galileo called, he wants an apology.
“It’s not rocket science.”
It literally is rocket science. it’s how we aim rockets. And artillery. Since WWI artillerymen have had to take Earth’s rotation into account because the range makes it a moving target.
"Although it kind of is if you study the way a rocket curves and lands.”
It exactly is.
“Thing is, we’ve been trained not to trust our God-given intelligence.”
Your god-given intelligence suggests that stars are going faster than light to travel around us at such a speed as to match the sun and moon’s apparent movements. That’s stupid complicated.
“Leave it to the experts.”
No. NO one says that. The experts LOVE to explain how they determined things. Trust me.
Ask any engineer how gyrocompassing works, and how they know, and if there are any experiments you could run to verify these facts. Then sit back because you’re not going anywhere for a while.
"To Hollywood.”
Dude, you know if anyone ever tries to play ‘i saw it in a movie’ as their trump card they will deserve everything that they get in response.
“To NASA. Our tiny little brains couldn’t possibly understand.”
No one ever says that. The textbooks are filled with ‘how we learned this’ and ‘how we know this to be true’ and ‘the experiments that lead to this technology.’
Now, when you reject the experts without even trying to understand them, that’s when people point fingers at you and laugh. When you say you don’t need NASA, you have the bible. That’s laughable. But no one says you could NEVER educate yourself on all this.
“It doesn’t matter that it makes no sense.”
No, it really doesn’t. ‘Sense’ is just a lazy way to accept facts, not a way to acquire new knowledge.
“It’s science! Where have we heard that before? Trust the science.”
Which would involve LEARNING the science, so that’s not for you, i see.
“Well no. I don’t trust the science one little bit.”
That’s your problem, then.
“Especially Jesuit science.”
that’s your bigotry, then.
“The heliocentric model is a fraud in my book.”
Doubt you’ll get published.
“Let’s throw in evolution, dinosaurs and Einstein’s theory of relativity while we’re at it.”
Feel free. You look stupid, but it’s your right to not even try to understand what you’re talking about.
"Nope. Not buying them. Call me a heretic all you like.”
Luddite, is the preferred term, i believe. Science isn’t a religion.
“Sane people have been thrown into lunatic asylums for less.”
Oh, goodie, Napoleon and his roommate, Napoleon, are both in your corner.
“I’ll do my own research and draw my own conclusions.”
You mean you’ll spend time confirming your bias and call it good.
“Laugh.”
Probably.
“Mock.”
You started it.
“Snarl. Threaten. I don’t care.”
No one’s going to threaten you, just try not to bias on the carpet, they were just steamed.
“I will honour my innate intelligence. I refuse to believe absurdities.”
Pop! goes the irony meter.
“People say, ‘Who cares?’ What does it matter? We have more important things to discuss right now’. I care. It matters. It exposes the foundational lie that all the other scientism lies were built upon.”
Scientism, huh? So,your GPS works because it uses the concept of relativity. Your PHONE works because of science. So does the computer you posted this with. And you’re too smart to believe in it’s reality.
“and rewrite astrological history.”
Astronomy, doofus, not astrology.
"The aim: To discredit the Bible which places a stationary earth under a ‘firmament’.”
Dude, to discredit the Bible, it’s far more effective to just quote it. Half the goddamned text reads like a Florida Man story. Man in Orlando says Miami is the Promised Land, leads his followers there, and they spend 40 years lost in the Everglades.
"Snort all you like. This spiritual battle isn’t for softies. Discernment required.”
Not even a NEO luddite, huh?
