I learned a really interesting insight while posting on this newsgroup
that answers a question that I've always wondered about.
We pull out a bull**** meter crate.
I once went
to a museum in New York City that had artifacts from ancient Egypt,
many of them idols.
Unpack the bull**** meter.
I wondered to myself why would an intelligent
people such as these who built incredible pyramids still standing
today believe in such nonsense? These weren't just the common folk
who believed this stuff but the whole society revolved around this.
Ask the Vatican, the Mayor of Mecca, Reverend Ike, or John Travolta.
Send in your Jesu-bucks or be damned to Hell for all eternity. Try
the front end of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Charles Laughton
when Esmiralda queues up to demand boons of the Virgin Mary.
Now I understand how it happened through talking to others in the
thread that I started "A question about the big bang".
Bull**** meter big banana plugs inserted. Needle quivers.
My hypothesis
is that one guy decided to try to worship a stone that he carved to
see what happens.
Idiot. Prostitution trades ephemeral favors for chattels. Religion
is prosititution with the favors only promised - "we'll gladely trade
you salvation Tuesday for a hamburger today." Religion is power and
money and a busted flush everybody is afraid to call.
Does science deliver, git? (Other than Micrcrap promising a working
version of Windows.)
[snip a bunch of parochial sciolistic crap]
The theory says that there was once a
big explosion in the universe and that's caused everything that we see
today to be as it is.
No, stooopid. The Big Bang was an explosion of space, not in space.
The evidence for the theory is that we look
into the sky through our telescopes and we see the stars behaving in a
certain way which fit mathematical equations that predict a
"singularity" in the space-time continuum about 13.7 billion years
ago. And the scientists proclaim that they now know pretty much how
the universe was created (through a big explosion). But do they?
Provide an alternative consistent with observation.
[snip more whining crap]
Now there are two problems with such a theory.
1) The theory states that there was a giant explosion in the beginning
of time which resulted in a relatively ordered universe.
Idiot.
But
explosions never result in order whatsoever. Explosions take place in
wars and terrorist attacks, but what do they bring? Destruction and
disorder.
(Waste of a good bull**** meter.) Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, you
christian imbecile.
[snip more crapola]
2) The observations made through the telescopes yielded data which is
very accurate. However, the data has been interpreted with the
assumption that the laws of the universe way out there in space are
the same as they are here, without actually going out in space and
taking measurements there.
Idiot. Pull a CRC Handbook and look at the very beginning. Change
anything in the tables, propagate the change throughout, and try to
have a working universe. It either all hangs together exactly as seen
here, or it isn't there at all.
[snip more whining crap]
So we see that idolatry and the zealous belief in the big bang theory
have much in common.
Religion and science are orthogonal, git. If you cross them you get
nothing.
