<p>This came up on the show yesterday. After reading a few selections what can I say I'm a believer it was all there in the Bible right along</p><p><a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/qa.asp" target="_self">http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/qa.asp</a></p><p>This world needs a crusade against stupidity.</p>

<p>A related story</p><p>What to make a quick 1000 dollars</p><p><font color="#800080">Church offers $1000 to prove Earth revolves around the Sun</font> </p><p>CAI will write a check for $1,000 to the first person who can prove that the earth revolves around the sun. (If you lose, then we ask that you make a donation to the apostolate of CAI). Obviously, we at CAI don't think anyone CAN prove it, and thus we can offer such a generous reward. In fact, we may up the ante in the near future.</p><p><a href="http://www.catholicintl.com/epologetics/articles/science/geochallenge.htm" target="_self">http://www.catholicintl.com/epologetics/articles/science/geochallenge.htm</a></p><p>these people are'nt related to real catholics are they?</p>

<p>Wow, what an amazing collection of bs. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/laugh.gif" /><br /></p>

By &quot;proof&quot; we mean that your explanations must be direct, observable, physical, natural, repeatable, unambiguous and comprehensive. We don't want hearsay, popular opinion, &quot;expert&quot; testimony, majority vote, personal conviction, organizational rulings, superficial analogies, appeals to &quot;simplicity,&quot; &quot;apologies&quot; to Galileo, or any other indirect means of persuasion which do not qualify as scientific proof.<br /><p>So, even if you put them in a spaceship and followed the Earth around the sun, they would say it was an optical illusion. </p><p>I thought those &quot;we never landed on the moon&quot; groups were wacko,&nbsp;but they're forward thinkers compared to this crew.</p>

WOW. i had no idea phil collins was also a drummer. great site<br />

[TheRealEddie]

<p>Actually the proof is a little tricky just because the question is poorly posed. &quot;Rotation about&quot; really depends on your reference frame. And there is no such thing as a &quot;preferred&quot; reference frame. The solar system itself is spinning about the center of the milky way as it is believed that we are in a spiral galaxy. So it seems that as stupid as that site is, and as rediculous the point they are trying to make, they do have an out in that they can play on words.</p><p>But yes, the motion within our solar system is &quot;best&quot; described, based on observations, as the planets orbiting the sun.<br /></p><p> </p>

<p>Forget where I first heard the term for this stuff, but 'data retrofitting' seems to be what these sites are about.</p><p>Its like shooting the arrow at a big blank target, and wherever it hits, that where you draw the bulleye;&nbsp;they&nbsp;look at&nbsp;the bible answers they have to explain; then pick and choose anything remotely resembling legit science that bolsters their case, and utterly ignore that which goes against their already-drawn conclusion.</p>

[Bulldogcakes]

<p>Yeah, on the one hand they want to dismiss scientific conclusions, and then use science to back up their case. </p><p>I think religion and science serve two very different purposes, and should be kept seperated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
