O.T. .::THE SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY THREAD::.

[Greenie]

I'd be very much interested in seeing whether or not the people who believe in the conspiracy theories are influenced by by their personal/religious beliefs. I find it quite mind boggling that heaps of empirical evidence can be thrown out the window and be replaced with other ideas with no evidence whatsoever (eg - no satellites, everything is ground based).

Man...I've been trying to explain to my nephew that the Earth's not flat for a minute...Kyrie's tweet was like confirmation for duke I'm gonna try to get him to sit and watch Cosmos and old Knicks games. Between the Cavs love and the flat Earth, I'm not sure which one I need to focus on changing.

That child needs prayer....

Spoiler:

Loving the Cavs and all

The headline is misleading.

Very.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with basic knowledge of history, but good to know it is quantified:

Prolly BS (not sure how you can confirm it's a legit anonymous drop or not) but this thread hasn't been up in a while and intelligent life is always a fun discussion jump off...

1st external Sun's surface mapped (a Red Supergiant that'll go Supernova soon, astronomically speaking)!

Combined with Nanotechnology would help turn the tides DRAMATICALLY!

Just no T cells!

What, no comment on The Great Sign In The Sky?!?

Sons, I am disappoint.

Ancient Knowledge. Religious Philosophy. Planetary Science. God. You name it.

Or is it just a bunch a' Hooey? A meaningless coincidence. Some counting fraud. Much Ado About Nothing, ultimately. Either way, think it through yourself.

I heard someone talking about this the other day. Count me in on team pseudoscientific hooey. Just one more in the seemingly endless false armageddon predictions that we hear multiple times every year

[PeoplesChamp]

Armageddon isn't set to the Gregorian calendar.

Armageddon isn't set to the Gregorian calendar.

This 'sign' incorporates the movements of the Earth, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. If you Believe the Hype, this convergence marks time in the thousands of years.

Meh. Why do people equate such things with death and destruction? Can't the things people use to predict doomsday mean something good for once? The last few doomsdays were boring.

What scientific discussion can possibly be had over this?

None. Makes me think I should come up with my own doomsday to dupe a bunch of rubes to come up off their cash.

None really. I guess he's trying to spark up a discussion on how it relates to the other things he mentioned: "Ancient Knowledge, Religious Philosophy, God".
