billvon 2,406 #1 August 9, 2010 Hot on the heels of conservatives denying evolution and global warming, we have the latest salvo fired against a liberal science target - that confusing and depressing theory of relativity, scourge of conservative schoolchildren everywhere. Excerpted from Conservapedia, the Trustworthy Encyclopedia (tm) - ======================= The theory of relativity is a mathematical system that allows no exceptions. It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world. Here is a list of 24 counterexamples: any one of them shows that the theory is incorrect. - The discontinuity in momentum as velocity approaches "c" for infinitesimal mass, compared to the momentum of light. - The logical problem of a force which is applied at a right angle to the velocity of a relativistic mass - does this act on the rest mass or the relativistic mass? - The universe shortly after its creation, when quantum effects dominated and contradicted Relativity. . . . . - The action-at-a-distance of quantum entanglement. - The action-at-a-distance by Jesus, described in John 4:46-54. ======================= Up next - the grassroots effort by the Tea Partyers to repeal the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which is used by secular humanists and activist judges to depress and confuse children throughout the world.

wolfriverjoe 1,346 #4 August 10, 2010 QuoteLink please? I have GOT to read this drivel. Edited to add Found it; http://www.conservapedia.com/Relativity You beat me to it (Google had it up as the first suggestion after I got to "conser"). This quote is one I found rather amusing. "Some liberal politicians have extrapolated the theory of relativity to metaphorically justify their own political agendas. For example, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama helped publish an article by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe to apply the relativistic concept of "curvature of space" to promote a broad legal right to abortion.[45] As of June 2008, over 170 law review articles have cited this liberal application of the theory of relativity to legal arguments.[46] Applications of the theory of relativity to change morality have also been common.[47] Moreover, there is an unmistakable effort to censor or ostracize criticism of relativity""There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

rhys 0 #20 September 11, 2010 QuoteHot on the heels of conservatives denying evolution and global warming, How about the complete destruction of 3 steel framed structures 9 years ago today. You seem quite happy to ignore Newton's laws of motion; in particular his third. QuoteThe mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". Bearing this law in mind, would render the comlete destruction of at least the two main towers by the reason you seem to quite happy with; impossible. let along the abundance of discovered incendiaries and their reminents of them that you are quite willing to ignore. The equal and opposite force would have disintergrated the upper, portion of the buliding before they could get anywhere near the ground. I am with you 100% with the basis of this thread but I find it quite hypocritical that you can openly ignore such well know theory, while ridiculing others for doing the same. You are more intellegent than that.

The collapse of the Towers contravenes Newtons third law of motion in the same way that evolution contravenes the second law of thermodynamics. That is to say, they don't, but it's an impressive sounding argument to use on the ignorant.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
