scientific ptolemaic astronomy
Timothy
the earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa. Sun worship
is an ancient pagan obsession, and paganism appeals to the liberal
mindset because it provides an excuse for raising taxes and allowing
gays to marry. But at least the pagans had enough common sense to
acknowledge that the earth is the center of the universe and that the
sun revolves around it.
The original Christians believed in Ptolemaic astronomy, which is
based on the age-old truth that the earth is fixed at the center of
the universe and all the stars and planets--- including the sun---
orbit around it. The orbits were all defined by circles and spheres,
because the circle is the most perfect of all shapes. Until the
liberals came along and invented Copernicusism, the belief of the
centrality of the earth was the basis for all traditional
institutions.
The original form of the Copernican doctrine was that the sun was the
center of the universe and the earth revolved around it--- which flew
in the face of the obvious fact that God had placed us on the earth.
It is unimaginable that He would have placed us anywhere but at the
center of the universe. Worse yet, Copernicus's theory was quickly
proven to be wrong: his equations did not accurately predict the
stars' position in the sky.
Instead of admitting that the alternative to Copernican astronomy---
traditional Ptolemaic astronomy--- had been proven correct, the
liberals began creating more and more bizarre derivatives of
Copernicusism. First they theorized that the planets orbits were
determined by the regular polygons (the equilateral triangle, the
square, etc.) which makes no sense because those shapes are all less
perfect than the circle. THEN, they began theorizing that orbits were
determined by an even less perfect shape than the regular polygons:
i.e., they claimed that planets' orbits are elliptical. Before long,
the liberals began claiming that the universe didn't even have a
center--- even though it is unimaginable that God would create
anything which doesn't have a center.

1. Your testimony in favor of gay marriage is one google search and two
clicks away. Actual Lokis cover their tracks a bit better than that.
2. You're using complete, complex sentences with no obvious spelling
errors --- that's two signs of a serious amateur Loki.
3. "religion out of Copernican astronomy" is a nice start, but what
follows is far too coherent to be annoying. Really did trail off to
nothing in the end there, too.
4. "Liberals" are cool now. The strawman of choice for this ng may be
referred to as "scientists", "science", "evolutionists", "pro-evolution
scientists", etc. One would think that "biologists" would fall into this
category, but so far they're exempt.
Try observing [M]adman for a bit --- he's hard to avoid. He's wholly
untroubled by internal inconsistency, declines to defend or even explain
any position, and pretends to not know how to write well. He's an
intimidating role model, but there's a lot you can learn from there.

Huh? This is either a hilarious put-on (I doubt it) or you need to

I think it was a premature April Fools post. "Premature" depending on
what time your server says it was posted.

Doesn't anybody have a working irony meter any more? That was an attempt
at *humor*. Nobody was expected to believe he was serious.

Also, April 1st. Tim got an early start, hooked two (I think VOR and
Garamond got it). So, that's 2 out of 6 authors, (or 2/4, not
counting indirect replies). How many more will stumble into his clever
trap. The day is young. :)

Pure brilliant! You tellit just like it is! o:)

now we gotta:
-get seanpit to talk about hamming distances for planets and how
copernicus didn't understand astronomy and sean does
-how everyone who doesn't accept ptolemy is an atheist
-adman to tell us how the jews are behind this because they murdered
christ
-spintronics to tell us how orgasms are related to astronomy and this
proves we're created
i'd say nando has to tell us that planets make decisions, but he
actually believes that!
get busy guys!

LOL I didn't even think about it being April 1st. I just thought it
was a random joke.

Well, since Madman's admission is entirely hypothetical, I refer to Timothy.

Probably not. Over 70% of the Chico Paradise area in Northern California
claims "None" as opposed to other when they were asked on the 2000 census.
The Krispy Kreme that opened here closed in less than a year.
