I wasn't expecting Creationist nutters in the Wikipedia Oort cloud discussion page.

Conservapedia is silent on the matter of the Oort cloud, but clicking around randomly did turn this up: http://www.conservapedia.com/SAT_II_World_History

I was all, "Oort Cloud? Best place for 'em" until I actually read the article. Now I am displeased.

Nobody expects the Creationist Nutters!

Hm. I think the Python version was funnier.

Here's something I don't get.

This Creationist obviously believes that comets should evaporate after a couple orbits in the inner solar system, since he claims the Oort Cloud was made up by believers in a billion-year-plus solar system to explain a flaw in their theory.

So, let's assume god created the solar system as this mass of gas and planetoids and a couple planets. And, of course, most of the gases and comets in the inner solar system evaporated. The oldest comets survived because they had much more material originally and because their eccentric orbits put them in the safe outer solar system part of the time.

The material in the outermost boundaries to begin with should have been safe, too, so it should still be there, since the sun wouldn't evaporate it.

Therefore, Creationism predicts an Oort Cloud, too.

This, to me, is an excellent example of why Creationism is not science. Instead of thinking logically about their "theory" and what it should predict, they spend their time planning attacks on rival theories. All of their decisions are ultimately political: "How can we discredit ideas of a billion-year-old solar system?" Not "how can we test our theory?"

Uh Dude, remember, we are talking about an america where we have Stadium Rock Revival Meetings with Hummers and Navy Seals as the Eye Candy for the Folks who want to be Armed Right For Jesus... So you were NOT expecting them to show up to defeat the Godless Heathen Who's Godless Dogma about Evolution is stabbing our valiant fighting forces in the Back by not accepting the Divinity of Dubya....

WOW DUDE, you must clearly be over your Bong Hitz 4 Jesus line if you thought they were going to stay neutral on the fact that the Evil Doing Evil Doers Are Everywhere....

why not???

They are Speaking THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY TRUTH!!!!

the fact that you are in league with satan and actively stabbing our Troops in the back because you do not accept the divinity of Dubya really is not a sufficiency of proof that they are doing anything morer than trying to help you out of the Bondage Of Your Demonic ModernSeXularHumanism and it's whole Vicious And Vindictive Pirate Canadianism...

If you know what I mean...
