Who knows how many CD regulars and lurkers have been educated because those people took the time to respond to your posts.So thank you, Eusie. Thank you for being you.

But a bigger thanks to the CD posters who actually know and understand science. Y'all rock!
That's interesting. I see you still feel the need that you have to attack. Attacking another poster is a sure
sign the one attacking is insecure. I think the almost 8 million people who have read my posts
have greatly benefited in showing them how to properly think and how to take apart an argument the
arguer thinks is unassailable.

I've just been trying to figure out what the heck this thread about astronomy has to do with Religion and Spirituality.

Yea, me too. Posters are often not very careful readers. Most are just drive-by snipers who shoot at the hip and hope to make a mess of it all and stir up strife.

Because your god lives in heaven and heaven is supposedly somewhere "out there."

Quite a lot, since the topic is about planets forming naturally by gravity, rather than by supernatural agents.

Truth.

Eusie, GoCardinals, jeff and Vizio et al do tremendous work illustrating how people thought in the 1st century.

I love it when you show that you have a sense of humor.

The Nobel Committee might like to know about your work. (I highly doubt any of them are hanging out on CD so they won't have a chance to laugh their heads o..... I mean benefit from your posts.) Unfortunately for you.... you can't nominate yourself. But, since you've decided eight million people are benefiting from the stuff you put on the internet, perhaps one of them will step up and do the right thing as a grateful recipient of your knowledge.

Nomination and Selection of the Nobel Prizes

They might appreciate an explanation of your work observing the Orion Nebula and why YOU are right and the scientists and astronomers referenced in the OP are wrong.

p.s. "Because I say so" will probably get your entry tossed in the trash.

They demonstrate how evolution works. Evolution occurs in the main population body. Some do not acquire that evolutionary trend and remain in their original form. This is pretty much what happened to our early common ancestor. One group branched off on a new evolutionary line while the original population pretty much stayed the same. They did evolve though but at a different rate and in a different direction but they remained pretty close to the original ancestor. A chimps brain isn't that much different to our original common ancestors brain. They're still pretty smart though, smarter than us in some ways but they never evolved the speech center that we did. They can learn sign language and communicate with us! That's amazing.

The same thing can be observed in early modern humans. Our original ancestors still exist in the form of the San peoples. The original cave man, still living in the same way. They are pretty smart people too.

If I said what I wanted to about your pathetic rant above, I would be lowering myself to a sub human level of yours. But I like the fresh air up here.
