Thanks for the graphic showing the old Greek/Pagan understanding of the earth’s place in the Universe. Thanks to the creation Astronomer Copernicus, we now know our solar system is heliocentric.
I see the usual Darwin-apologists peanut gallery gang is here, making snide and insulting remarks about anyone who doesn’t wholeheartedly embrace their views and materialistic philosophy. I’m telling you, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON than their obnoxious behavior, I would never support their agenda.
Thanks for the posting the article, GGG, I thought it was great. And please know that not everyone buys into the materialist dogma. Please ignore the insults and keep standing up for the truth.

Amen, brother! Thanks for the encouragement :o)
All the best—GGG
Great tagline!
Thanks.
He has no idea of a "galazy" at all -- at best, he has the notion that stars were like the sun, only a lot further away (which couldn't be confirmed until telescopes got good enough to measure stellar parallax). If so, stars were presumably scattered randomly across space, continuing out to infinity in more or less the same pattern (which gave rise to the problem of "Olbers' Paradox" -- but I digress).
“Thanks for the graphic showing the old Greek/Pagan understanding of the earths place in the Universe. Thanks to the creation Astronomer Copernicus, we now know our solar system is heliocentric.”
—It’s kinda odd to call geocentricity the old Greek understanding of the Universe, when it was there that the idea of heliocentricism was famously being argued about. Many ancient Greeks, such as Pythagoras, Aristarchus, and Heraclides were arguing for Heliocentricity while others (such as Aristotle) argued for geocentricism, so it was a contentious issue. But heliocentricity was taken quite seriously there, even by its challengers.
This is of course why Copernicus was not known as the inventor or creator of the heliocentric model, but rather the “restorer”, since he was saying what many of those old Greeks had already argued.
It was only one paragraph...not a large hunt.
The Darwinists are now trying to redefine “special”.

If anyone cant imply you are using it as a strawman, then they are as ill-informed as you. I was trying to make it clear that YOU are saying people who know science use that argument which was your point (unless I am mistaken).
Trust me, quote-mining is what creationists do.
As I said, your strawman wont hunt. You can play it over and over and it never changes. AGW and TToE are completely different in terms of science and all your misunderstanding, misinformation and conspiracy-nut creationist sites wont change that.
And you certainly are not worth my time, but other people read these threads and I want them to know that most Conservatives understand science, know the difference between real science, such as TToE, and fad science, like AGW, and no science at all, like creationism.
This is for them, not you.”
What!??!
You and your ilk need to be special, so you invest heavily in this I am closer to God because I reject science nonsense.
Well, you are special all right.
“There is a personality type that needs to be special (usually a as result of being ignored or abused as a child). These people look for niche opportunities to make themselves special to make up for the attention they didnt get as children.”

“What IS important, is that virtually every working biologist understands and embraces evolutionary theory.”
And right now virtually every working journalist embraces the zerrhoid.
This reminds me of the idiot from Salon that kept saying to BOR that what Tiller did (late term partial birth abortions)was “legal”.
If BOR was quick on his feet, he’d have replied that much of the holocaust was carried out under German law and was also legal.
No, what’s TRULY important is there are those that are capable of working against rotten, cultish conventions.
It's fun to watch liberals post liberal sources and babble about objectivity on FR isn't it?
Objectivity? Uhh...not a chance.
Cheers!

Especially considering that about anybody can edit it when they want.
Pretty convenient, wouldn't you say? Edit it (or have someone else do it for you) and then use it to back yourself up.
What a racket.
Indeed, there is much foolishness afoot and it's a time for a person to be cautious as serpents and innocent as doves.
