A fun web site. Amazing how many ignorant schmucks there are out there. I really liked this one, it was selected as Troll of the Month:

"The fallacies of gravity

just curious if anyone can explain these errors that many people are aware of when it comes to the theory of gravity

number 1. the way gravity reads, scientists have you think that objects of larger mass would have more of a gravitational pull then objects of smaller mass. so tell me how this makes sense

when we look at the sun we see the earth orbiting the sun, and the moon obriting the earth. if gravity were true, shouldnt our moon be orbiting the sun??? oh better yet, how come a planet way out in the distance such as neptune will orbit the sun, yet its moons will not orbit the sun??? something is wrong here, even at thise immense distances the moons will orbit the planets and not the sun, yet the suns "gravity" is strong enough supposedly to keep the planets in orbit.

number 2. why is it, only planets have orbits?? you could put a space shuttle in outter space and a astronaut will not orbit it. you could put the smallest pebbble into outter space and it will not orbit the space shuttle. why is this???? if gravity were true then surely such small objects would orbit larger ones, especially in space

number 3. on earth we see things that defy "gravity" on a daily basis. birds and airplanes for example. are you going to tell me that the gravity of the sun is strong enough to keep PLUTo in orbit but not an airplane or a little bird??????

number 4. scientists dont know how gravity works. or what it really is, and even then we see anaomolies in space that defy gravity

so my point is that gravity(like other scientifist "tHeories" is very on shaky grounds. it doesnt have the evidnece to back it up, and when examined critically it falls under the pressure(no pun intended )

show me a pebble that orbits a mountain or a bird that orbits the earth and then gravity will make sense. or better yet just show me how gravity works(if it works at all) and then maybe it will be more than just a theory

how do you evolutionsts explain gravity???"

Using multi-syllabic words that you won't find in such publications as National Enquirer or TV Guide. Oh, and excuse me, I should have said "big words" instead of "multi-syllabic words".

And that's all I have to say about that.




Okay, just one more snarky comment: "Stupid is as stupid does."

Ouch. Is anybody really that stupid, or is this just some sort of farce?

AngryNotice (the writer of the gravity rant) is a pretty well known troll. I've seen his user name pop up on several "wank" boards on all sorts of topics. So he doesn't count for specificially "fundie" wackiness on my scorecard.

Y'know, I need to upload a troll icon I made ages ago and never did . . .

Bravo for AngryNotice, since I completely have to assume this is to draw attention to the whole evolution as "theory" bullshit. I've often used the "theory of gravity" as a counter (and usually a showstopper) when the "evolution is just a theory" crap floats by.

Aarugh, there goes my blood pressure again.

Generally, they explain gravity as something that bends the otherwise straight paths that people travel through the universe. At least, I think that's how they explained it to me.

And don't get me started on the theory vs. theory bit, because I will hammer someone on precision of language and nitpick them to Hell and back and have them explain everything in perfectly precise language, so they can understand how science really works.
