First about the author: christian extremist, quotes the Quran but uses anti-semitic slurs?

"Both the stationary Earth and the stationary satellites are electromagnetic phenomena with gravity playing a minor role, if any." - Does this guy know, that electric charges are needed to create electromagnetic forces?

"NO EXPERIMENT HAS SHOWN THE EARTH TO BE MOVING [...]. One would think such speeds would flap one's collar a little even if the "science" establishment says no!"

"Multiple experiments have shown the Earth to be stationary." - Citation needed.

"The logic against a moving Earth is overpowering."

"Copernicanism paved the way for Darwinism (which then spawned Marxism, Freudism, Einsteinism and Saganism.)"

"Star speeds are not a problem when the thickness of the universe is seen to be what it really is, that is, LESS than half a light day thick (8 billion mile radius)." - He believes in Relativity, but not in Newton, Copernicus, Kepler and distance-measurements by telescopes?

"Order book The Earth is NOT Moving HERE (offered for sale on Amazon for $80 used, but you can buy a brand new copy for $20)."

"Free Audio Sessions includes:
* Six Assumptions... but No Science
* Phony Telescopes
* Phony Cameras
* False Redshift
* False Infrared
* Phony Math
* Phony Virtual Reality Technology
* Phony Star Distances"


Okay, there are much funnier ways to waste my time.

EDIT:
newtonian gravity is witchcraft, the aether DOES exist, science-fiction is a tool of mass mind-control, the Moon- and Mars-landings were fake, outrage that the church doesn't condem the copernican model, the Big-Bang-Theory is rooted in Kabbalah-mysticism...

I suppose that would be a difficult situation arising from one's head being lodged firmly up one's ass.

10. A lemma is a minor conclusion needed for creating a larger conclusion.

Adding the prefix ana- ("by&quot makes it sound like a big word, although it doesn't change the meaning.

and screw everything up.

There are trilemmas, too, which screw things up even worse.

When a quadrilemma occurs, though, you have to abandon all hope and not enter at all into the discussion. It is FAIL!

Either that, or it was done in an early version of FrontPage on a blank screen. Uff da!

What’s Wrong with Science?

- The major “theories” of modern science are incapable of proof, cannot be tested or supported by observation, and are not even rational.

- The scientific establishment is atheist to the core. Its agenda is to dethrone God, and its members will go to any and all lengths to deny Him.

- No matter how absurd, unprovable, or ludicrous a theory may be, scientists will always prefer it to belief in God.

- The atheists who dominate Big Science are nasty, foolish, petulant, and intellectually dishonest. Lee Duigon
