It blows my mind how people still somehow think whatever astronomical event they see is still a sign of God’s or gods’s wrath as if these celestial occurrences have NEVER happened in history and that they haven’t been eaisly charted out by physicists using simple math years ago. They are as bad as the people that keep claiming to “see” Nibiru or that comet ISON was an alien spaceship...until it flew by us and crashed into the sun.

It blows my mind that self-proclaimed "scientific" people post on a religious thread while rejecting the presumptions of the religion. And then do so in a way that ignores the subtleties of the issue while projecting their own limited understanding on the thread. As if that's not enough, they then use it to try to justify unrelated contentious issues by piling them in as so-called examples of their first illogical presumption.

But then sophmoric people, by definition, don't know they're sophmoric.

Yeah, ok.

It’s still really stupid people looking at completely naturally-recurring phenomenon and pretending like God is sending them a message.

Spoiler alert: God isn’t talking to you through this stuff. Just like a solar eclipse isn’t a dragon eating the Sun and spitting it out, or a volcano isn’t a goddess angry that you didn’t sacrifice enough virgins.

Have a little more respect for the guy. Subtlety isn’t what he is known for.
