Creationist almost discovers gravity

[Mangetout]

We’ve already seen

(titled ‘Creationist almost discovers the sun’ in some sources)

“One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn’t possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.”

On another board I sometimes post at (not sure if I can link because of board war potential), someone just said:

I know that the “big bang theory” is false because there exists no known force nor mechanism able to facilitate the condensation of matter into dense objects.

Just thought you guys would like that.

Why do you hate God?

@glee

Why do you hate God?

Because he allows people stupid enough to post the shite quoted in the OP to live.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Wow.

Mangetout, you owe me a keyboard. Or whoever wrote that, I suppose.

[gonzomax]

Matter is frozen energy.

Gravity is just a theory. I want equal time for Intelligent Falling.

Ah, but surely this proves that God does not exist, since he hates stupid people.

No, really, 'fess up. These are quotes from Onion articles, right?

I take it that person has never heard of solar energy either. Or photosynthesis.

Well, he or she is right in a way. If such a source existed (and it does), scientists would know about it (and they ddo).

One of my coworkers just popped up over my cube wall to see why I was snickering. Now he’s laughing, too.

(I know this is joke, but)
::Slaps tdn with a herring::
Stop that, stop that! Gravity is a scientific law! It has been observed observed over and over that matter is attracted to matter. Einstein’s curved space-time is a theory, gravity is a law.

Now unless anyone else wants to get herring-slapped I suggest you acknowledge the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws.
(sorry)

[Ponder_Stibbons]

Pshaw. A “scientific law” is just a theory that’s been dressed up real purty.

P.S. Love the OP. Magnificent.

I never studied law.

The first one isn’t. It’s from some sort of games forum ( not sure if I should mention the name; board wars like the OP said ). The full post is :

@awesomestnerd

Believe it or not, you were perfect when you were born. You were obviously healthy if you are posting here today, you hadn’t sinned, and were making choices and using your free will, though they were small choices. Unfortunately, later in your life you made some bad choices and now you are a sinner, but remember, God MADE you perfect.

One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex.

That’s me, not God. Don’t feel bad - a lot of people make that mistake. At least, I assume that’s why so many people mutter, “Jesus,” under their breath when they’re talking to me. :smack:

[Valgard]

Attention Awsomestnerd. This Is God. Cut It Out. You Are Making Me Look Like An Idiot.

[LifeOnWry]

OK, now I have the giggles.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

As do I. tdn gets a nine and a half for “Intelligent Falling”.

Mind if I steal that? I make absolutely no promise to credit you for it.

[picunurse]

I KNOW that gravity is a law! I had it on a tee shirt!

Gravity: Not just a good idea, it’s THE LAW!

[Derleth]

Laws are math, whereas theories are just lots and lots of words.
