The Bible Taught us a lot of Astronomy

Ummm... you did? I've read the entire thread, and quickly scanned back through, and I don't see an answer to Krazysh0t's question anywhere...

Did you just imagine you posted it? can you post the response again for posterity, or just link to the post where you answered it?

???

Explain yourself please? Unless of course you are distracted, i require your attention. I actually suffer from a disorder myself dyslexia to be more precise.

But im pretty sure, according to the url this is ATS. Just feels like ADHD sometimes.

I miss the days when ATS banned trolls.

The stars AREN'T countless.

How do you know? The only real evidence for big bang model is the cosmic background radiation but that has always been too uniform to account for the big bang theory which is why they search for dark matter. So our observable universe might just be a super cluster in a much bigger universe that our telescopes cannot see. The stars might indeed be countless, in a universe that goes on forever.

In debating the interpretation of the cosmic microwave background, Fahr joins a long and distinguished line of heterodox astrophysicists, including the celebrated astronomers Halton Arp, Sir Fred Hoyle, and the Nobel Prize winner Hannes Alfvén. These skeptics have ascribed the microwave background to assortments of glowing clouds of gas, dust, and charged particles throughout the galaxy and nearby universe. These clumps of molecular interlopers, they claim, translate starlight bouncing around the universe into a quiet and dim bath of microwave light, a little bit like how the Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue sunlight to produce the daytime sky.

And i miss the days where consistent coherent discussion could be had without the interruption of religiously oriented people plastering the word Troll about simply because people challenge the premise of there threads.

Crap or get off the pot buddy. x

If I were to walk up to you and say that there are two lights in a room lighting it up, would you EVER assume that it was actually one light bulb and a mirror reflecting the light bulb's light?

No, because we are talking about the moon. You can see the different phases of the moon and it would make perfect sense that something is reflecting off of it. To this day people believe there is a "Dark Side" of the moon which is false. All of the moon gets a equal amount of sunlight for the most part. So, if I walked up to you and said that a room had a light bulb and another round object half lit what would you assume?

So I responded. You going to quit whining about it now?

Go to another thread then. This is obviously a thread that has the tendency get religious, although that's not what the thread is about. It's about the Old Testament and Astronomy. Not religion. The people and their knowledge.

I actually was rather partial to Pratchett's books.

And I love what Carl Sagan wrote. But I'm sure you didn't
agree with Pratchets philosophy, or world view you mentioned.
Nor do I with Carls. Even tho I've read many examples of
him shying away from discredit to the Bible and as to the
existence of a supreme being, his remarks would indicate
not knowing but certainly not impossible. And anyone
who trys to make it sound impossible is hilarious. We
live on a round blue ball in the middle of nowhere floating
in the space of a vacuum.

Now what the hell can be considered impossible?

a reply to: FearYourMind

So you were lying when you said you had already responded to the question... I see.

So your answer is "no" to his question then... and then a whole lot of tacked on justification for why the direct correlation made in his question originally, doesn't apply to the moon... I see... never quite can admit you were wrong can you?... quite reminiscent of religions as a whole.

... and then you get get all haughty at me for apparently "whining"... as if asking for a response to a question is somehow childish... great exemplar of the religious you are setting. ;-)

Having been here since 2012 im sure you will realise people round these here parts are free to frequent which ever threads they choose, as long as they follow the TnC. So i will stay where i please thank you very much.

Simple fact is that in as much as the Bible contains grains of knowledge the religion that represents it is certainly no friend to science by and manner or means which astronomy is a field of if im not mistaken.

a reply to: andy06shake

Been here since way before that young buck. Just deleted my old account a while back. If you knew people like LunaCognita you would know what ATS use to be like until the trolls moved in. All of this is off topic, so I hope mods start recognizing.

"Now what the hell can be considered impossible?"

Yesterdays science fiction? Yesterday that is.

In today's world things are only impossible until they are achieved.

Pretty partial to a little Carl Sagan myself although i prefer Isaac Asimov.

a reply to: puzzlesphere

Do you have anything in relation to the topic you want to discuss, or are you just going to keep ranting?

a reply to: FearYourMind

I have posed two questions to you so far, you have responded to none of them.

"What would you like me to add pray tell?"

"I did point out that the Arabs and Muslims taught us far more about astronomy, and also measurement and mathematics for that matter, than a book that allegedly contains the word of God. Or do you disagree?"

I also schooled you on your reptilian fallen angel info providing you with the correct terminology for what you were attempting to describe, in this case Nephilim.

So i guess i will just keep ranting until you answer my questions, cant speak for anyone else.

a reply to: andy06shake

I know all about the Nephilim. I've studied the Fallen Angels and their relations with female humans. You have schooled me on nothing and I have been trying to ignore you because I can't stand ignorance.

a reply to: andy06shake

In fact, I am not even going to bother responding to you anymore. It makes me laugh to think that you assume I don't know what the Nephilim are. Especially since I have a whole YouTube channel based on them.

a reply to: FearYourMind

May i suggest staying away from mirrors then would probably be a good idea, least you glance a glimpse at your inner self. x

Extruding your education doesn't degrade my point. Especially when
I forfeited the information. But if that's what floats you're boat I'll
just concede on the grounds that I haven't been able to keep up.

In today's world things are only impossible until they are achieved.

You must be talking about the virgin birth?

a reply to: randyvs

My education is really not that extensive. I do in fact subscribe to the notion of something greater than ourself, some form of collective or group consciousness, its just Christianity and most other organised religions interpretation i have a problem with considering they are laced with control constructs and always have an agenda.
