And rockets fly faster than airplanes because they are louder than airplanes.
Only rockets can fly in space because only they are fast enough to fly through the Divine Force Field God established to keep birds and other flying animals from flying off into space. What color is the DFF? Blue. And now you know why the sky is blue. (You can’t see the DFF at night, because, if you could, you couldn’t use the stars and planets for signs.)
It’s all very simple. In fact, that’s WHY it’s true! If it was complicated, it wouldn’t be true! See?
He whose name cannot be written (1) made it appear that gravity exists. To test our faith in him. His purpose is unknowable. (2)
Unlike gravitists, who insist on merely one theory (3), there are many opposing schools of thought involving Him. This proves gravity is wrong.
I would like to wtnss here. The best non-gravity sect comes from … Dijon Warlock
Listen, ye Heathens and repent (4)
‘As a Lateralist, I’m personally of the opinion that everything moves sideways in one direction or another. These meaningless concepts such as “up” and “down” are simply fanciful constructs with no real meaning; promulgated throughout society to rationalise discriminatory gestalts.’
Thank you for your attention. Have a nice day.
(1) No, not Cecil :rolleyes:
(2) I know this for sure
(3) A scientific theory isn’t a fact, is it?
(4) Or you will be thrown into a bowl of hot custard :o
Fools! Open your eyes to the glorious balance about you.
Birds fly only to the extent that creatures burrow and fish swim. He knows the very hairs on your head, the grains of sand on the beach. It is a mere bag of shells for Him to make sure one worm, three beetles, and a vole are digging before the sparrow can take wind. Pay attention! Is it only a coincidence that for a robin to pull a worm from the ground, they both happen to be at the very surface of the earth AT THE SAME TIME?
Study your history. Have you forgotten that we had subways before airplanes?
Sheesh! It’s so simple, if you stop and think about it. I don’t know why I try to speak sensibly to you.
What my sibling has neglected to mention is that in addition to being noisy, rockets don’t have wings, but as my upright pastor says “flyest still do they”. So much for your repulsive so-called theory of thr*st.
Don’t you Lateralists realize that your beliefs are based on the imaginary centrifigul force!? Lateralism’s phylogeny actually PROVES we are on a spinning earth!
It is the CENTRIPITAL force that keeps ordinary ionic objects attached to the ground, and it is that force which birds, planes and the like manage to sever, be it through evolution or noise.
We talked about this before: cars, boats, tides & rollerblades don’t move! The earth spins under them as they toy with the centripital vector!!
This is why we should not worry or cry when the occasional airplane crashes. It was obviously filled by atheists and demon-worshippers, or else it never would have happened.
I have even worse news for Gravitists: NASA is working on an anti-gravity machine! That proves that Satan created gravity! The works of Satan can be defeated, but not those of God!
(I’m not kidding, either. Read this story from Space.com. Science fiction doesn’t always stay fictional. The work is being done in Huntsville, Alabama. Also, according to a story I read in the paper this morning, this device could be made to attract objects, meaning it could be used to generate a kind of artificial gravity. Jonathan Campbell of the Marshall Space Flight Center is quoted as saying “It does not modify gravity; rather it produces a gravity-like field that may be attractive or repulsive.”
(The device uses a one-foot-diameter high-temperature superconducting disc. Physicist Ning Li says that, using one kilowatt of electricity,
I guess if it works to attract, it would also amplify gravity into space.
(It sounds like H.G. Wells’ cavorite from his novel The First Men in the Moon. Another website maintained by Pete Skeggs, who says he is doing his own experiments, is even entitled “Quantum Cavorite.”)
(The device described in the article consists of a spinning superconductor floating above a magnet. Supposedly, anything suspended above the superconductor loses up to 2 percent of its weight – at least according to Podkletnov, who did the original experiments. The NASA team, led by Koczor, built one of their own but, surprise surprise, were unable to duplicate Podkletnov’s findings. And lo and behold, Larry Smalley, one of the project’s big proponents, claims that Koczor’s team wasn’t competent enough to “give the project a serious chance,” even though Koczor’s team had worked with some of Smalley’s peers.)
(And Koczor’s comment to the “skeptics,” as to why he even embarked on this fiasco to begin with, is particularly telling: “[They] don’t seem to be amenable to observing that maybe the laws [of physics] are incomplete.”)
(This has all the earmarks of the typical quack “anti-gravity” machine – things that spin, a component (the floating superconductor) that seemingly “defies gravity” but really doesn’t, and an effect only detectable in tiny amounts when it’s “detected” at all. The only difference is that this time, NASA made the mistake of paying attention to it.)

But we believers of the true faith are not so easily swayed.
Don’t you realise that CENTRIPITAL force is an invention of the unGodly? Since it’s not very strong, it is just an example of (drum roll) CENTRIFRUGAL force!
Hrm…
I registered for this board because I was sent a link to this post. It’s not really worth my replying to, but I am rather bored today and this post disturbs me.
I really hope this post is a joke… could somebody reply to me here and clarify whether or not this is a serious post?
-somebody you don’t know
ps_harold, you interrupt a very serious discussion to ask whether we are joking? I am astounded at your effrontery. If you wish to know whether we are serious, simply search this Forum for similar discussions regarding Creationism vs Evolution or other scientific discussions and compare the responses of any given author to those posted here. That will demonstrate exactly how serious we are.
Tomndebb:
I think you may be being a little hard on ps_harold (a first poster). Believe me, I was shocked to discover the existance of Creationists, when I first came to these boards, seriously shocked.
It could well be that he is “disturbed” by the very existance of Downists, or the fact that the theory of gravity is even under attack.
Welcome to the SDMB. Please don’t take the following at all seriously (as already stated, have a look at other debates to see what’s behind it all).
This is disturbing.
Hrm…
I landed on this post because I was using my Lateral skills. It’s not really worth my replying to, but I am rather bored today and this post disturbs me.

I see that much of this post is light hearted… and by looking at other debates here I see that they are serious enough. What ‘disturbs’ me and leads me to think the contents of this post might not reflect the true beliefs of the people in it, is that nobody has defended gravity. I’m not shocked that such a thing as ‘downism’ exists… but i’m shocked that it exists on a forum where someone could attempt to explain such a concept scientific-like and have nobody do the same for gravity. Or that you could question how birds fly, without somebody stepping up and explaining the concept of lift… and so on.
-somebody you might get to know later on
ps_harold, welcome. Don’t worry, just about about everything in this thread has been humorously intended. I don’t really think thr*st is a repulsive theory, my remarks were satirical. This thread seems to have been started about the time when this one was closed. You may read it as a satirical overflow of frustration at the sort of arguments confused and/ or dishonest creationists present. You may find these sorts of arguments here, but be assured they are never left unchallenged.
I don’t know anything about Gravitism, since I’m not interested in it. But I know that it is false, because it doesn’t make sense. How can gravity come from nothing? Anyway, I don’t have time to learn any more about it, but ancient people didn’t believe in it. Since they were closer to the time when things started to stick to the earth, shouldn’t they know more about it than we do?
By the way, I am completely uninterested in Gravitism, since it isn’t important. I just know it is false.
I just can’t stand the hard-headed skeptical attitude of those scientists. They spend all their time with their proof, and their mathematics. Well, their so-called “Gravity”, or as I like to call it, “gravy-tee” has killed more people than all the wild ostrich attacks put together in the last hundred years. Their gravity is monstrous and evil. Everyone knows that the Nazis and Communisists beleived in Gravity, in fact, they used their theory of gravity in the gulags. Without gravity the innocent victims could have floated over the prison walls. I hold Newton and his followers personally responsible for the godlessness of the 20th century.
And George Carlin, Whoopee Goldberg, and Tom Cruise don’t believe in gravity. These are very smart people who have studied all the issues. If they don’t beleive in gravity, there must be some reason. Why would they lie? Scientists lie, but why would actors and comedians? The establishment is against them because they don’t have the same advanced degrees. Why haven’t the scientists answered their critiques? The scientific cabal that controls science isn’t interested in learning, they are merely trying to teach women to divorce their husbands, get abortions, practice witchcraft and become lesbians.
Thank God we have Tom, George and Whoopee to fight against them.
