RMK 3 #1 September 18, 2013 Today’s Google homepage has a tribute/links on the 194th birthday to Léon Foucault. To save web searching, he was a scientist that showed, by his pendulum experiment, that the earth spins. However, in the first couple, links is this dimwit’s 12min video on how he thinks (supported by bible scripture) that the earth doesn’t move. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz1XAgH4iGI He even posits that this is how the Coriolis Effect works."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #2 September 18, 2013 It's good to ask questions. It just seems like he isn't doing any research and finding what evidence there is to support the claims that scientists make. His idea that the universe rotates around earth is pretty silly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #8 September 19, 2013 Andy9o8I thought Jesus was the sentry of the universe. Is that why he went for right-side-up crucifixion, 'cause he knew all hell would break loose if he was turned the wrong way up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
