These people brought me up, OP. Homeschooled in a Mormon household with no father figure.

I like to think I turned out alright

[Anonymous No.1576521]

It's hilarious how defensive these people are about their beliefs. Everything's HURF DURF LIEBERAL CONSPRIGACY

>In other words, reading a theory about physics is correlated to a decrease in people's interest in reading the Bible, which means that it causes people to stop reading the Bible.

Reading X prevents you from reading Y while reading X

Brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.

First evolution. Then the big bang. Now relativity?

Seriously...?

Fucking...Seriously?

Hahahahaha I loled so fucking much.

I started reading some of those.. Not all of them are illegitimate. For instance, numbers 3 and 7 actually make some sense and are relatively simple to understand.

However, they go full retard in number 9, so I stopped reading.

They're catching up intellectually with Uncyclopedia:

7 yes, 3 no. Number 3 is just flat-out false.

>In non-confusing terms, that indicates the ability to cause something to happen instantaneously in another location (i.e., faster than the speed of light). Since Jesus could, reportedly, do this, thus Einstein is wrong.

But, quantum entanglement could explain that! Why can't they side with science?! Saying that Jesus had mastered quantum entanglement and used it to heal would make him sound amazing!

Thank you, sir!

BTW the Uncyclopedia article is quite a bit older, but some of the points are pretty much identical.

Methinks the lists need to be updated with items from each other. For example, the Uncyclopedia article lacks the important action-by-Jesus objection, whereas Conservapedia surprisingly lacks the firmament insight.

even quantum entanglement obeys the speed limit son

>At the time Einstein wrote his paper on the Photoelectic effect, he was working at the Swiss Patent Office. So it is quite likely that he copied this idea from some whose application for patent got rejected.

And BTW, I agree with Schalffy that the theory of relativity is crap but for different reasons. I think this crap of a theory held humanity back a good 200-300 years, and we are probably not going to find the extent of it in our lifetimes.


found this Gem in the comments

This anon is right. He's from 2205, so he knows what he's talking about.

Either that or it's Galileo that's been holding us back. The goddamn church was trying to protect us.

I didnt know i would witness this day in my life.
Conservative idiot arguing relevance of relativity in point format on conservapedia.
I wont post a facepalm picture. As I dont any to describe event of such idiocy

Does Khan Academy have a video on the bible?
I'm too lazy to read.

[Anonymous No.1576808]

>>1576746
yeah and the theory of gravity is also holding us back. we have to let go of this stupid theory, and when we do we can save so much fuel trying to escape earths gravitational pull. it only exists b/c we believe!!! stop believing please for the love of god stop

[Anonymous No.1576812]

I would giggle with glee if they ever debated the validity of relativity on Fox News.

Is tytester one of you guys? There's no way he's anything but a troll.

The person who wrote this is part of the fringe in conservatism, Fox News tends to be in the normal conservatism. Sure they're retarded but nowhere near that fringe retardism.
