Nah, I think I'll be mostly entertained by it for a while still.

What would religions have to explain?

Some of them teach that humans and the earth are special and unique. The existence of life elsewhere, especially intelligent life, throws a wrench in things.

Then there are those like Liberator whose brand of religion tells them that the earth is flat and covered by a dome. Even the existence of stars and galaxies turns his world upside-down, so he's had to cut all that off from the get-go by denying any and everything that science has discovered over the last several thousand years or so.

The year 2020 mentally broke many people...this thread and the SSRI thread is showing it in spades

Pretty sure he also denies that the moon is a sphere…something literally anyone with functional eyeballs can see. Are our eyeballs in on the conspiracy?

They think that since the same side always faces us then it could be flat. Now how they explain it being perfectly round without being a sphere, I don't know.

Yeah, that’s dumb as frick, though. The moon behaves exactly as if it were a sphere, from the apparent shapes of craters on the face to the moon phases. If it isn’t spherical, god made it look spherical, why? So dumb.

Also, density, how does it work?!

Well, unless we find humans living on some distant planet then we are special and unique. Which, and I can only speak for Christianity, if I remember correctly all the Bible only says God made us in His image. It doesn’t say anything about us being either special or unique.

I’ve never found any of that in the Bible. Maybe he’s Hindu or something.

Those who think science the belief in God cannot coexist understand neither nature or God. Everywhere you look in the universe you see order. Creation itself proclaims God is it’s creator.

If we find intelligent life on another world, then we wouldn't be particularly special or unique.

Christianity is a very broad spectrum. There are some very dumb people in the world.

Nope he's definitely a Genesis literalist. You haven't seen the images he's posted where the dome is the firmament and there are waters above the firmament?

We can agree on that.

If you see only order then you are myopic. Entropy, or disorder, is the ruling state of the Universe.

The second law of thermodynamics says that when energy changes from one form to another form, or matter moves freely, entropy (disorder) in a closed system increases. Differences in temperature, pressure, and density tend to even out horizontally after a while.

While pockets of order can exist within a Universe that is ruled by disorder, they will meet the same fate eventually, complete entropy.

The funny part is even that isn’t entirely true.

Or that across trillions and trillions of planets over billions of years, one planet would have all those things align.

It’s been a while since I read up on it and I’m not totally sure but they may be gas planets.

Science is concerned with the how, not the why of existence. It is not a threat to you or anyone else who wants to think that a “higher power” exists. Enjoy your lifestyle.

Who said anything about feeling threatened? LOL.
