| 858978 | 2010-02-17 04:02:00 | The story that I put forward was meant as an interesting tale. It was not meant to convince anyone of the existence of any godly creature or otherwise. I thought that the story had some merit and made an interesting comparison with what was discovered by the scientists and how that discovery had a parallel with some text in the Bible - text that was written thousands of years ago. ......and there you have the bullshit...if you had just a smidgeon of physics...school science... you would have realised that is all bunkum....something written to fool the gullible and then propagated by the gullible, including yourself, for whatever reason, most likely as has been said by religionists who "believe" everything they read. You persist, yet obviously have not read the Snopes debunking, or do not want to believe the snopes debunking, yet are willing to believe what has rightly been called bullshit. Just read Snopes again and this in particular: "The Public Affairs Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, responded to the prevalence of Hill's fictious story by issuing a press release that noted (among other things): [This center] has no knowledge of the use of its computers supposed by Mr. Harold Hill and attributed to our scientists. Goddard does not apply its computers to the task of projecting thousands of years into the future or past, as this would be irrelevant to the operational lifetime of satellites, which rarely exceeds a dozen years." The "science" behind the the fable just didn't and doesn't exist, it is a fable, it has been invented to fool the gullible. It is not an "interesting tale" or a "good yarn". Really, if you post such things then you must expect the sort of responses you have got. |

| 858979 | 2010-02-17 04:03:00 | Such an interesting and well thought out arguement. Can't see why anyone would not be swayed by logic such as that. Well done. It is the truth. Attack it anyway you like, It is still the truth. And hopefully means more to people then lies and falsehoods. |

| 858980 | 2010-02-17 04:10:00 | I wonder why anything to do with religion has to be attacked with such vehemence. I thought that the story had some merit and made an interesting comparison with what was discovered by the scientists and how that discovery had a parallel with some text in the Bible - text that was written thousands of years ago. Because it usually consists of some fairy tale with no basis in fact and blatant disregard to laws of physics or facts that have been established. You believed it, so you'd believe the earth is flat if some religious writing said so. There was no such thing discovered by scientists at all. You tell me why religious nutters are so vehement about having their pet stories disproved. Like what happened with Galileo. |
