Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun [W:132]

But that logic applies equally for everything. You cannot disprove that my cat created the universe last Thursday and that all of history and our memories was magically implanted and placed. But that's not evidence that it's true. You could claim any god or any entity using your argument and there is no way to distinguish which is the "real" creator based on evidence.

Sure I can the universe existed before last Thursday, where did everything begin, please enlighten me!
Sure I can mine rose from the dead, the rest are dead

The eart5h existed before last Thursday! Are the scars on my body fake. See that can't be a planted memory it's physical proof

No it didn't. You just think it did. You and everything else, were created last Thursday with the appearance of age and false memories. My cate meowed everything into existence then.

That is a claim which itself would require evidence. But even so, it's irrelevant. Rising from the dead does not mean creator of the universe.

And where is your evidence that any other god is dead?

You were created with that scar. And false memories about how you got it.


Are you sure you know what proof and evidence are?

Well I do have eyewitness accounts of the disciples among others of the day! Again if you have some great enlightening for me as to where even life began please show me.

So if my scar was there when created, why do others not show the same scar, have the same metal parts in their body, see my individual traits also speak to a creator, you are trying to sound smart but defeat your own premise! Also why does your god cat choose to live in subjugation to it's creation?

ummm, no...the Gospels are anonymous and only attributed to disciples. And the accounts differ. No one else recounts the zombie apocolypse, earthquakes, or darkening of the sky in Matthew. But that's not irrefutable...unless you also count as irrefutable the witnesses who saw Joseph Smith's golden tablets?

I don't know how life began. That doesn't mean speaking things into esistence means anything.

Why would others have the same scar? That doesn't make any sense. And you obviously don't have a cat if you think they live in subjugation. Tell me again how this speaking things into existence works.

Nye's a bigoted jackass

He should head to the nearest Mosque and tell them their God isn't real. I'm guessing he doesn't have the courage to do that.

He leaves that job to us his "henchmen" ;)

Show me anyone but Jesus who "rose from the dead". He was the only one who's body re-animated and the only one with "eternal life". All of the rest of us just die like every other creature on Earth. You too are an Earthling who will live and die on this planet, isn't that amazing?
 
VanceMack said:
Nye himself said he wasnt boo'd (hell...he said he got a standing ovation) and the author thought those that left did so more because they were annoyed that he was using the forum to discuss religion in a negative light.

Meh...I wasnt there. I just know that what was presented was a lie, and offered with the sole intent by bigots to vent bigotry.

The bigots were the ones that booed and left because they were afraid their faith would be threatened. It is amazing how weak this "faith" is in some of the so called religious right. Even the Pope believes in evolution and is not threatened by it.

I think you are missing something.

No one boo'd. Those that left may have been as upset with his presentation of commentary as anything else. But your all too eager swallowing of the atheist blog's **** brownie is speaking loud and clear of you.

You jumped into a lie and all too eagerly swallowed it.

ML, I do love your modesty and humbleness. But it looked like you were speaking in the language of "Far Right Conservative" in post #38. Yes? No?

http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...aying-moon-reflects-sun-4.html#post1065371880

I don't consider myself as a liberal. But neither do I consider myself as a conservative. I have a tad of both in various forms related to various issues. But I prefer to think of myself subscribing to the Free Thinkers category. I think there's a lot people like me, but for some reason have choose to identify themselves as one or the other. The diehards/hardcores on both sides consider their counterparts as evil, sinful, a mental disease. THESE are the folks who have some serious cognitive rigidity problems.

Thanks...

If you're wondering why I tend to go after the liberals more than I go after the conservatives the answer is simple. Liberals tend to be the far more obnoxious and conceited of the two groups and they have nothing to offer that warrants their false superiority complex. But make no mistake, I have no problem going after the conservatives too. Neither party is actually doing anything for the American people.

Not to get all judgmental and stuff...but dood...you swallowed a **** brownie on the third post of this thread. And you are STILL in it eating more of them. And you want to talk about your responsible following of 'science'? You very clearly demonstrated your belief system.

You are making yourself look extremely foolish right now.

There's no belief system involved, sorry. The only ones in this thread that look foolish are the ones with imaginary friends.
 
Get real.. You really wanna know the truth? Can you handle the truth? Most people in this country do not know that the light emitted from the Moon is due to a reflection. And yea even in Leftist enclaves of genius like CA and NY, they don't know either. The ignorance of details like that is just the same as the ignorance of geography by Americans.

Bill Nye is a douche anyway, they should have boo'ed him for that simple fact.
 
VanceMack said:
What a shocker. The OP posted a lie.

Mother Jones magazine on Tumblr - More on that Bill Nye-Waco-moon-God thing.

So it was either a deliberate lie on the part of the OP, or those clowns that wrote the blog piece sure know who to pander to. Or should we say 'knew' who to pander to. Back in 2009. Based on a story from 2006. Which turns out was all a lie to start with. At the end of the day...this whole thing says nothing about 'Texas'...but it speaks volumes about the OP.

If the Bible claims that the moon is a light source, it's wrong. Fact.

I was not commenting on the bible. You can speak for yourself on that one.
All ancient societies knew one thing. That during the nights, when the MOON provided light on an otherwise really dark night, which provided they could do things at night that they normally couldnt do. It's a matter of the times and technology, not of whether or not the bible is BS. Whether or not the bible is BS is a matter of faith and belief.

If the Bible was godly, it would surely have gotten its facts straight. It's almost like it was written by primitive people with limited knowledge of how the universe works.

Oh wait....

Keep doubling down, baby. At least the OP had the good sense to admit he ****ed up.
