Fortunately because of the wonders of the Internet I can benefit from the knowledge and opinions of people who are better educated and more intelligent than I am. In this case the good people who have taken the time to write and edit 'Conservapedia -the Trustworthy Encyclopedia' have been the ones to set me straight.
The article on the Theory of Relativity links to a page which contains no less than 28 counterexamples which prove that it is a lie. Included at number 9 is a story from the Bible, from John 4. At this point I did get a little confused, because when I read the article on pi (because I was told that it says in the Bible it was exactly 3) Conservapedia has this to say:
Common sense and a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible should cause one to question whether it sets out to define mathematical concepts.I'm confused, and suspect a liberal may have vandalized the page. Actually, although obviously I am against them as a right-thinking, red-blooded etc. etc., I really m not sure what a liberal is. Maybe my new favorite source of information can help:
A liberal (also leftist) is someone who rejects logical and biblical standards, often for self-centered reasons. There are no coherent liberal standards; often a liberal is merely someone who craves attention, and who uses many words to say nothing.
I am so glad that there are people out there willing to stand up for logical standards.
Owen,
ReplyDeleteI followed your comment here from my website. Thanks for the advice you left me on my site. I would like to offer you a little too. The background you are using is seriously causing my eyes to twitch and lose focus. (lol) In all seriousness, even if you post great material here, I would not be a regular because of how it affects my eyes.
Based on your first two posts, it looks like you are going to be talking about politics mostly.
I hope you find great success with your blog. Talking about things that really interest you is very rewarding indeed.
Yeah, thanks Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the background - it is something I will be changing.
Really, thank you so much for taking time to look at my blog and offering advice.
