Clyde Tombaugh agrees. As do I. Neil DeGrasse Tyson can go eat worms.

Why would these scientists chose the name Ammonite, a person who worshiped Moloch?

Although that statement is completely irrational, I agree with it.

"To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet.To Pluto -- And Far Beyond

From BING

Culture and Religion
The Ammonites worshiped the god Milcom, and their religious practices included rituals that were often viewed negatively by neighboring cultures, particularly the Israelites. The Bible mentions child sacrifice associated with their worship, which contributed to their reputation as adversaries of Israel.

Interactions with Israel
Throughout biblical history, the Ammonites were frequently in conflict with the Israelites. They allied with other groups, such as the Amalekites, and engaged in battles against Israel during the period of the Judges. Notably, the Ammonite king Nahash threatened the Israelites, leading to significant military confrontations.
Biblical Archaeology Society

Archaeological Discoveries
Recent archaeological findings have shed light on the Ammonites’ culture and society. Statues of Ammonite kings and inscriptions have been uncovered, providing insights into their governance and religious practices. These discoveries help to paint a fuller picture of the Ammonite civilization and its interactions with surrounding cultures.

Legacy
The Ammonites’ influence persisted for centuries, and their name lives on in the modern capital of Jordan, Amman. While their kingdom eventually declined, the Ammonites remain a significant subject of study in biblical archaeology and history, illustrating the complexities of ancient Near Eastern cultures.

In summary, the Ammonites were a notable ancient people with a rich history, marked by their biblical connections, cultural practices, and interactions with neighboring civilizations. Their legacy continues to be explored through archaeological research and historical analysis.
