This isn’t the first time someone from a different profession tried to use their rules to “prove” Jesus. Anyone remember lawyer Josh Mcdowell in the early 1990s with\* Evidence That Demands A Verdict\*? I knew a guy back then who tried to get me to read that. He later went on to [found a franchise megachurch](http://www.google.com/search?q=perry+noble&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=nws), get kicked out of the megachurch, get divorced by his wife, and start an on-line church. As you might assume, he was a _gigantic_ douchebag. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > ‘Tis the season. Should be gone by next Monday. Given the typical fate of many witnessing threads (closed) and their authors (banned) I simply cannot understand the welcoming attitude the board has to witnessing threads in GD. They’re almost always started by someone who claims to have solid proof of something Biblical and mystical. I don’t think they should be explicitly prohibited, I just think they should be judged critically instead of getting a free pass, and if they fall under the general category of “stupid thread, not really a debate” then IMHO they should be treated accordingly. ---

Ehh. Sometimes you want to have a vigorous and spirited debate; sometimes you just feel lazy and grateful for an opportunity to kick back and shoot fish in a barrel. ---

That thread gives me hope. 30 replies so far, only one that is even halfway serious, and even that one is telling BS why he’s annoying, not addressing his inane OP. ---

This will cause the planet gear to somewhat rotate but mostly revolve around the sun gear. Putting a little force on the axle attached to the planet gear will allow you to move the planet gear around the sun gear regardless of the rotation speed of the sun/planet gears. Placing these gears on a bar that can freely rotate around its center will split any force placed on the planet gear’s axle causing the speed increase to appear on the sun and planet gears nearly simultaneously. > > I’m trying to find a free physics simulator where I can illustrate this, mainly to make sure I’m not missing something due to a huge blind spot. This is in response to the airplane on a treadmill thread in Cecil’s forum. The guy seems legitimate and I have no idea WTF he’s trying to do to that poor airplane, but shit, it’s worth watching/reading. Well, not so much reading. ---
