I have put your words in italics.

"Well, I suppose those are the kinds of stupid conclusions you'll come to when you rely on a 1400 year old religious text for scientific information and don't know how to think clearly."

This 1400 years are annoying you with your rage; things will go opposite to your desire; while the stupidity and foolishness is the attitude of the atheist.
Apparently you have different definitions of stupidity and foolishness than everyone else. So far, every single comment you have made on science and scientific discoveries has been just so much camel cookies.You can't even make a post without quoting some idiocy from your silly little book.Yet the atheists, which you call stupid and foolish, have corrected you time and again about the realities of the universe and you continually snub them. Sorry, my friend, but it isn't we that are stupid and foolish.

"There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that solar eclipses produce earthquakes, and gravity is entirely unrelated to the temperature or heat content of an object. Evidently you believe otherwise based on your religious texts."
Now we shall leave be your words style: like You … You are … Absolutely … Evidently; but believe me every bad word you uttered, you deserve it more.

O.k. let us see what you have said:

"So explain this: how is it that we
The word "we" is better replaced by the word "they"; because it is not you but they achieved that.
You are wrong again. Dex is a scientist. As is Tonington. You could make that comment to me and I'd let it pass, because I am just a lowly ex-firefighter who happens to like science and its discoveries.

"can accurately land spacecraft on other planets in our solar system,"
The equations of gravity are applicable, but the cause is different. And such landing did not come according to theoretical equations alone but after many practical tries and many failures have been there, before they succeeded.
Sorry, but the laws of gravity are unchangeable. That is why they are called laws. It is the unfortunate side of human beings that we make mistakes now and then.

"predict eclipses of the sun and moon and occultations of other bodies to the second,"
This has nothing to do with the equations of the gravity, or whether the gravity is because of the heat.

"calculate tides with complete accuracy, and many other things,"

This is not related to the gravity equations but to astronomical observations.
Wrong, as usual. Gravity DOES have an effect on tides.

"using gravitational equations that clearly indicate mass and distance, not heat or temperature, are the determining factors?"
The gravity in practice is applicable and has nothing to do with its being because of heat or not.
A little while agho you mentioned that gravity is because of heat. Make up your teeny weeny little mind.

"Your favourite late inspired interpreter of the Quran and the Bible was ignorant, uneducated, and almost entirely wrong. And so are you."
This is your usual style that you cannot use other than it; of which you are more worthy.
But he's right and you are wrong.

"You're not even consistent in your ignorance. A few posts ago you claimed the moon has no gravity, then you claimed it has a little due to solar heating."
It has no gravity of its own.
Of course it does. It's force of gravity is 1/6 of Earth's and itf it was out billions of lightyears away from anything else it would still have a gravity 1/6 of Earth's.

"Have you ever seen the gravitational equations of Newton or Einstein?
Heat and temperature don't appear anywhere in them, yet they work with extraordinary accuracy. How can this be if heat is the controlling factor as you claim?"
This is your playing with words: heat is the cause of the gravity; the mass of the hot object is an important factor as is its distance.
lmao Still wrong.


And what do you know about Einstein, whom they give much propaganda because he was a politician and he belong to a certain sect who are very intelligent more than the rest of people. Yes, he was intelligent, genius and a good university professor; but there is much propaganda and extraordinary praising.
Your repertoire of science history is askew, too, I see.

Your Koran has it backwards. Gravity has an effect on the temperature of things. Temperature has no effect on gravity. Google it .... you'll find a lot of hits referrencing gravity's effect on temperature of various things but nothing where temperature has an effect on gravity.

And you mention that science is continually correcting itself. There are reasons for that. The reasons have to do with evidence. And the evidence is demonstrable, unlike religious hypotheses. It seems that religions just say things and expect everyone to just accept these things as fact.

BTW, the laws of gravity are laws, not theories.


If you truly are mastering this subject of the gravity, and you consulted Google, and your school taught you much about it; then tell us what is this gravity? And why is it related to the mass, as you claim? And what is the cause of such gravity?

Answer without any evading.

Then when you will be unable read it here:
Cause of the gravity

Dexter is not a scientist; he studied science perhaps, but he has not the investigation attitude of a scientist.

Neither do you love science, but only you do love the noise around the science.

Tonnington,


There isn't anything like bleeding the gases to cause the Doomsday.
Read the subject of [URL="http://universeandquran.site.io/#The_Gravity[/quote]If"]http://universeandquran.site.io/#The_Gravity[/URL]​

Read it carefully, even though it was written in Arabic by one who only could read and write Arabic, and don't let this to be an obstacle to hinder you from discerning the truth. And read with it:
Cause of the gravity
Proving that the gravity is because of the heat
If Ton wants to read it, he can go ahead. Myself, I am getting enough of a laugh from your posts.​

The heat is the indicative mark of life in objects and bodies.
Some things that are alive produce heat. Some don't. Most plants, for instance, do not radiate heat in their metabolic processes.

Any cold object is dead, does not rotate around itself and has no gravity.
Any hot object is alive, rotates around itself and has gravity: It gravitates the cold objects and the objects less than it in heat, and which are near to it.
I think even you would agree that the sun is hot. But if you say it is alive, then I think you've ran a bit too much LSD through your system.

When the sun loses its heat it will convert into an earth with a crust, and then it will burst together with the rest of the planets – this is Doomsday.
And there I was thinking that the sun is gaseous.

Before the earth will break up in the next Doomsday, it will become cold after losing its internal heat by time.
And just where is time taking the heat from Earth?

See the changes that will occur in our Earth prior to the Doomsday; these changes which are now manifest at Venus as had they been manifest in Mercury.
And see at our website:
http://universeandquran.site.io

a detailed description of the portents of the Doomsday:
The sky will be upset
The sky will be filled with fire and smoke

And many other related subjects.
I'll pass.

Ask yourself, why are you so enraged? Something has been said and displayed, so what's such reaction?

You are atheist; we have understood this, this is your fortune and luck, what shall I say to you? You chose your way far from the religion of God, this is your choice, this is up to you, what can I do for you, if God does not like to guide you?

And in addition to your atheism, you are fanatic to some of your background and have become opponent of God and His messengers and His Quran and the other revealed books.

As God – be glorified – said in the Quran 4: 88


فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللّهُ أَرْكَسَهُم بِمَا كَسَبُواْ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَهْدُواْ مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللّهُ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبِيلاً


The explanation:
(How is it with you [Muslims] that you are two parties [with two opinions] concerning the hypocrites,

and God has immersed them [in their sins] because of [the transgression and evil] that they earned?

Do you desire [then] to guide him whom God has misguided?

Whom God misguides, you [men] will not find for him a way [to be saved or guided aright.] )

Yes, I know you read this in your school; they say as such, and they ascribe the tide to such gravity.
http://universeandquran.site.io/new_page_3.htm#The_mistake_of_Astronomers_about_the_tide
ok, now that I've quit laughing enough to post ; what I am posting is what eannassir's link showed me:

[The mistake of Astronomers about the tide]:
Astronomers claim that the tides result from the gravitational force of Moon, which influences the sea water, so that there will be, once, rising in the water, and another time there will be falling.
I say that this theory is wrong, and there is no influence of Moon's gravitational force on the sea water. The indications of that are:
(1) The gravitational force of Earth is more than fifty times stronger than that of Moon.
I started laughing. It is only 6 times that of the moon
(2) The core of Earth is hot and flaming, while the core of Moon is cold, and no heat inside it, and we know that the heat is the cause of the gravity.
Now I am laughing again and our dogs are looking at me.

(3) The water is attracted to Earth because it is directly on its surface, whereas Moon is obviously far away from the water, then how could the Moon gravity have a stronger effect on the water than the Earth gravity; so that the first will pull the water of the seas and oceans, which actually are under the influence of the Earth gravity?
This guy is an idiot. Obviously if the Moon's gravitational force was stronger than that of Earth, IT would have the water instead of Earth; so that comment is just inane.

So Moon is faraway from them, and its core is cold: with no heat inside it which might enable it to gravitate. And if there is any effect of Moon on the sea water, then the rain water should be more liable to be pulled by its gravity; because the rain water is nearer to Moon than the sea water is to Moon.
roflmao


The true cause of the tide is the rotation of Earth around its inclining (oblique) axis; because the water inclines to the low place so that there will be some rising, while at the high place there will be some falling, then the water returns to its place when the Earth rotation is complete, where the low region will become high, and so the rising and falling interchange.

For this same reason, it is observed that some seas at the equator of the Earth have no tides. I can prove my opinion by the occurrence of the tide twice per day and not more; that is according to the rotation of the Earth; for it completes its rotation in 24 hours time.

[The translator: There is a difference in the diameter of Earth at the equator from the diameter between the two poles, in addition to the inclination of the axis of the Earth of 23 degrees and the rotation of the Earth as explained by the interpreter in the past lines above.]
Gibberish.

Ah, but I am not enraged; I am vastly amused. Many things have been said and displayed. Unfortunately, what you call proof is simply someone else's words. They provide no proof, so you can't provide proof.



You are atheist; we have understood this, this is your fortune and luck, what shall I say to you? You chose your way far from the religion of God, this is your choice, this is up to you, what can I do for you, if God does not like to guide you?
You are doing enough. I am still amused by the idea of heat causing gravity.

Look, if eanassir continues to reference his Koran as a scientific tome, then I will continue to make fun of it and naysay any "science" he repeats and interprets from it. If you want to accept his posts as evidence, that's your problem.

I didn't accept his post as evidence, I already said this, but I pointed out the slight differences in your position compared to mine.... it wasn't meant to start an argument with you about how I disagreed with you.

I thought you mentioned in the past people were allowed to have different opinions? :p

No it isn't too complicated for me. It isn't me that has the habit of swearing and using abusive terminology.

Poor excuse to drag it into here where it never existed.

I called you twit once, and child several times because that is what you remind me of when you get all petulant, pouty, and foul-mouthed. That's not a jab, just an observation.

And as an observation, you're a troll.... but I don't shove it in your face every chance I get.

Is that an order? Sorry, I don't follow orders. Especially when it is fun to annoy you.

Do whatever you like, but once again, don't start bitching and moaning about how I respond to you when you create the childishness in the thread. And you have a long ways to go to even come close to actually annoying me. The only thing that might be annoying is your repetitious approach.

And you complain about me being defensive and argumentative? Hypocrite (Does being called that annoy you? Probably won't be the last time you're called that.)

You're the knowitall. You tell me.

No, my sister's online name is Knowitall..... I'm Praxius.

Not a chance, Bub. Religions start out wrong from the get go,

And science is usually wrong from the get go as well. Good old Trial and Error.

and only after science keeps plodding along and amending its own findings does religion finally make excuses for itself and eventually bends to what science discovers.

And yet, people thought long ago that the Earth wasn't flat without any scientific data to prove it to be true.... then science leeches onto that concept, does it's little gimicks, and then claims it "Scientifically True" even though people knew long before through common sense.

Science is a leech religion, not much more.

Was it religion that came up with the laws of gravity?

Yup

The theory of evolution?

Yup

The laws of thermal dynamics?

Yup

The theory of relativity?

Yup.

Just what HAS religion discovered?

Everything in which science now operates as. Before science, religion was the basic way of explaining the universe around us in a manner in which we understood at the time..... science explains things to us in a manner in which we understand today, and soon enough.... another concept will come along making science obsolete, as science has limited it's own ability to understand everything there is in the Universe due to it's limited set rules.

Don't believe me? Think I'm talking out of my ass? Like I seriously care.

Science isn't a "their". Science just is and scientists are human, also. But at least science can admit being wrong and amend its findings based on new evidence, new approaches, etc.

Of course, eventually, after making many others suffer from their mistakes. How's that Hydronated Oil situation going so far? Much worse then Saturated Oils now I hear? So we're back to square one, yet again, after making the human collective suffer with illneses related to it... for how many years now?..... Smooth Move Ex-Lax. They only found out it was bad for us, after testing it on us for so long.

How about the flawed approach on "Global Warming?" of course that's a whole other subject.

But if you would rather trust religion to explain the universe to you, you go right ahead, bubbles. lmao

Wow, keep showing us that wonderful brain of yours.... or and your slack ability to properly read, yet again... as I already explained multiple times.... I don't trust religion anymore then I do science.

But once again, that's too complicated for you. Give me a few minutes and I'll make a pop-up book for you to better understand with.

Well, aren't you just the regular Sherlock.

Elementary Watson..... then again, it's elementary to most.

:roll: Ignore my posts then. Jeez

Don't respond to me then.... it'd be rude of me to ignore people talking to me.... didn't your mommy and daddy teach you any better?

I only return the favor, bubbles. You don't respond to me or refer to me in your posts and I will quit. Or is that too complicated for you?

Hardly complicated at all.... but why should you be able to spew your crap and get away with ignorance and hypocracy over others in here?

Like I said.... don't bitch and moan like a little baby when I give you attitude in which you created, cuz you can't hack it, gramps.

Oh and I call you gramps as an observation, as you remind me of an old fart who thinks that just because he just might have a year or two hanging over his belt compared to the next guy, that he has the answers to everything, and gets jealous when a whipper snapper like myself might make more sense then him, so he's gotta stoop to petty insults and bitching, and then try and turn it on the whipper snapper, like he's the innocent one.... trying to play his age card like he's all innocent.

Sorry gramps, I ain't buying it.... you're just as stupid as myself and everyone else around here..... you're no more special, sorry to say. You're just a typical human like the billions of us already on this planet, with our own arseholes and opinions..... which can all stink at times.

Although, currently, I feel you just filled the outhouse.

Yup, that's how evidence works. People knew about gravity before Newton came up with his law, too.

Science is a leech religion, not much more.
Perhaps your opinion has some merit at times, but science still has more credibility than religion.

And your evidence for this is ....?

Perhaps, but on the other hand it wasn't religion that came up with insulin, aspirin, etc. either.

How about the flawed approach on "Global Warming?" of course that's a whole other subject.
Nope, it's a related subject. Scientists know more now than when someone came up with the hypotheseis of GW. It is how progress in science works: notice something ---> propose a description ----> look for evidence to back up your description ----> etc.

I read that several times and that's your prerogative. You aren't alone. But I trust science's description of things like evolution, gravity, etc. over religious descriptions.

Just because you do.

Doesn't bother me, bubbles. I can hack it. I have taken a liking to pushing your button at times.

O donm't mind being called gramps.
BTW, it's only in your mind that you make more sense.

very entertaining indeed, fellas---

god, the supernatural, ghosts, angels, miracles are all 'beliefs', science is 'proven', and whatever science was 'known' before it
was proven, was just that,' thought to be true', but not yet proven.

It's amazing to me, that the 'so called believers', think that what they believe is just
as true as something that has been studied, researched, then 'proven'.

What they believe will be 'true', when it is 'scientifically proven', by much study and
research.

Our minds can talk ourselves into believing 'anything' if we try hard enough, doesn't
mean much of anything, but does tell all of us, about ourselves and our thoughts.

So, keep it going with your beliefs, do lots of studies and research, and when it is
proven, let me know.

Go ahead.

Why thank you for that approval.

Sorry, I don't know you from anywhere other than here.

What was ment was:

"10. Not to engage in internet stalking. This includes, but is not limited to, following a Canadian Content member from site to site, or from thread to thread within this site; taking posts from Canadian Content in order to attack a poster at another site; and attempting to defame or discredit Canadian Content members on other sites for views they may have expressed at Canadian Content."

^ Which is why I at least attempt to leave what was said in one thread in that thread, and not try to carry over an argument started in one thread into another.... as it not only presents a personal vendetta against a paticular member, but also ruins other threads with more of the same.

As I said before, I don't initiate, I react. So who's the troll?

How about you scroll back to the top and see how this conversation began, which I believe was from you:

"Scroll back and read again, child." ~ As you clearly misunderstood what was being said by myself..... which isn't a suprise. I was remaining mature up until you initiated.....

..... troll.

Sorry, it's a two-way street.

just make sure you're driving on the right side of the road.

If I didn't annoy you, why do you always attempt these retorts?

Because I need entertainment, and if that means making you out to be the fool you are baised on your own actions, then so much the better.

No, it doesn't bother me at all. As I said before I am human. I haven't seen one yet that hasn't been hypocritical.

fair enough.

It was a descriptive, not a name.

an inacurrate description at best.

Yes. The difference being that science does correct itself. Religion just states stuff and sticks with it, whether it is right or wrong.

Agreed, which is why Science may out last many current religions, which I've mentioned in previous threads in the past, in regards to my own views of science..... but it too will come to an end eventually.

Perhaps your opinion has some merit at times, but science still has more credibility than religion.

In some aspects, I agree, but in other ways, some (Not all) religions can explain things much better.... at least until science can catch up and perhaps find a way to test something it currently claims is non-existant.

And your evidence for this is ....?

And your evidence for this is ....?

And your evidence for this is ....?

All explained below those "Yups"

Hey, that's the nature of progress. But, I don't think anything we come up with will ever explain everything.

Not yet, but that is the nature of humanity.... to seek answers and understanding.

Perhaps, but on the other hand it wasn't religion that came up with insulin, aspirin, etc. either.

True, but no one belief has ever come up with everything.... each has their own part to play.... which is why I base my personal beliefs on our existence and purpose for being in a combination of science, many religious beliefs which line up to one another, common sense and a bit of philosophy to fill in the gaps. Works so far for me, but everybody has their own way of doing things.

Nope, it's a related subject. Scientists know more now than when someone came up with the hypotheseis of GW. It is how progress in science works: notice something ---> propose a description ----> look for evidence to back up your description ----> etc.

And unfortunatly, that's one of the limitations I was referring to..... "looking for evidence to back up your description." ~ As there are many things we can currently test or see, due to our limited understanding as a species in our stage of development, not to mention technological limitations.... which is where some religious explinations may come into play to fill in those gaps. It's at least a starting point for science to prove yay or nay.

I read that several times and that's your prerogative. You aren't alone. But I trust science's description of things like evolution, gravity, etc. over religious descriptions.

As do I for the most part. But as for myself, when I refer to religious explinations, I don't just limit myself to Christian, Jewish or Muslim beliefs, but all available explainations that might shed light and perhaps make more sense for the time being...... such as the concept of reincarnation..... Einstein believed in it to a degree.... as energy is always constant, when we die, it has to go somewhere.

Who's Watson?

John Watson, Sherlock Holme's friend, confidante and biographer in the book series.

"Elementary My Dear Watson."

Be rude if you like.

nah, I have priciples to uphold :p

Just because you do.

What I post can sometimes be wrong or false, but it can not be corrected if I just keep it to myself..... how else does one learn?

Doesn't bother me, bubbles. I can hack it. I have taken a liking to pushing your button at times.

Try if you can.... but for myself, I usually will hold off my own button pushing and attempt to keep on topic until someone starts the button pushing, such as you already attempted and continue to attempt to do..... ain't working, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna lie down and let you get away with your attempts..... cuz that would mean that you did push my buttons. But I grew up with an argumentative family (As mentioned before, my sister's online handle is "Knowitall") arguing with someone online is a bit trivial, although entertaining at times.

I created your lack of control over your attitude? wow, I really appreciate the flattery, but I can't take responsibility over that amount of control over you.

And yet again, you're lack ability to read shines through again, as you have no control over me or anybody else in these forums, or elsewhere for that matter. The old saying is "Garbage in - Garbage out" ~ Don't whine about the attitude you think you're getting in which you started. I have no problems being civil, or being an ass.... but if someone is going to be an ass... why should I be civil? They... or you... don't diserve it based on your own actions and being civil while others are asses, only expresses validation for being an ass.... so if you don't like people being an ass to you, then look in the mirror sometime and check yourself before you riggity-wreck yourself.... yo.

O donm't mind being called gramps.
BTW, it's only in your mind that you make more sense.


Or is it that in your limited level of understanding that it's only in your mind that I don't?

noooooooooo, say it ain't soooooooooo lol

Yes, it's true.... come here.... *gives Gilbert a bug warm sympathy hug* There there..... it's ok... life isn't so bad.

Hey, I just drop it. You seem to like shovelling it around after.

Well other people have to poop too you know?

Anyway, as I said, if you want to quit, I am willing.

well as you can see with other responses from me to you in other threads, our conversations can remain civil and respectful... not to mention still relate to the topic at hand. It's not about quitting, it's about debating.

Dexter is not a scientist; he studied science perhaps, but he has not the investigation attitude of a scientist.
And you do? It is to laugh. I suppose 7 years of university and a 30+ year career of continuous learning and dealing with things technological and scientific counts for nothing, while your dogmatic insistence that the Quran must be right even when it's demonstrably wrong counts as a proper scientific attitude.
