President Bush / Astro - Relevant
Hi,
I haven¹t posted to sci.astro.amateur for a while. But I have been a "lurker" and have enjoyed much of the information about telescopes, and the little bit about Astronomy. But - to George Bush and the latest threads regarding his grades and qualifications - and his intelligence. This is not only about Astronomy but also and more so about a very close relative of it - Evolution. In this case Evolution Science¹s continual battle against the onslaught of Scientific Creationism believers, mostly the Moron Far Right but also some Stupid Lefters too. But among political leaders actively pushing it, mostly the Right Wing. Creationists label their (theory) Science so that it may possibly sneak through the courts, because their goal is to pass legislation which forces schools to teach Creationism (Bible stories) alongside Evolution in science classes, and our US Constitution wisely forbids that. Creationism Theory is the modern equivalent of (as far as being Science) Flat Earth Theory. The world was created approximately five or so thousands of years ago, so goes its main tenet. A 5,000 year old universe would present a lot of problems with current Cosmology Theory. Unless The Creationists' deity is tricking us, we should not be able to see any stars, or galaxies, or anything, farther than around 5,000 light years away, because their light would not have reached us yet. Those damn Cepheid Variables must be The Big Guy's little jokes. Our wonderful President, George W. Bush, along with his Sheriff, John Ashcroft, also believes that Creationism should be taught alongside Evolution in science classes. To those (astronomers) who believe in Creationism, I would guess that you¹re looking at the world through the wrong end of your telescope, which would decrease resolution significantly and would make the ³what really is² harder to see. For those pocketbook-first Right Wingers, who really know better, and yet still praise Bush and his myopic and astigmatic judgment, wake up and see who and what you're lying in bed with. And how much you have to lie to yourselves to excuse him. But there's more. The greatest Republican ever, so Right Wingers claim, was President Ronald Reagan. However, Reagan also believed that the Bible should be taught alongside Evolution (if Evolution should be even taught at all). And whom is Bush trying to load the Courts with? His favorite Supreme Court Justice is Antonin Scalia, the wisest of the wise. In Louisiana, where I live, in the 1980's, we (I abstained) tried to legislate Creationism into our laws and we took it all the way to the US Supreme Court. See Edwards VS Aguillard, 1987. Creationism lost (thank a deity). But there were two dissenters. Can you guess whom? Justice Scalia, along with Justice Rehnquist, another Bush favorite, thought and ruled that Creationism should be taught alongside Evolution, and in science classes. Around that same time, however, there was another politician, who was speaking out against the then current legislative attacks by Creationism advocates. I had never heard of him before that. Guess who! None other than that terrible Bill Clinton, Governor of Arkansas, the scourge of Right Wing America as seen against that shining Supernova of Wisdom, George W. Bush. If the world was created 5,000 years ago, I guess that means President Bush was born yesterday. Hey, maybe it was. Clear skies without cloudy heads, Linwood Albarado |

Why don't you continue to lurk until you have something relvant to
contribute regarding astronomy! Until then, screw off. Al wrote in message ... Hi, I haven¹t posted to sci.astro.amateur for a while.

Hello Al (& Wayne),
Sorry, but I think my post is relevant. However, your counter argument, as was Wayne Howell's in another post: ...Please, crawl back into your hole and go back to lurk mode!...) were very well thought out, I admit. I guess I will be spending the night tending the new asshole you and Wayne have ripped me. Thanks for the kind welcome.

Ed ------- Hello Ed, A little. Here in south Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans, the air has been terrible. The sky is poor where I live with so much sky fog that I can seldom see much more than 2nd and 3rd magnitude stars from my house. I viewed Mars several times with my C8 SCT (on an equatorial mount). I could see the air currents and heats waves just shimmering across the face of the planet. I still saw, of course, much more than I ever saw previously. I look at astro pictures on the internet mostly and read S&T regularly but I go outside to look at the sky mostly to remember that it is all real and not just another TV program. How about you? Where are you located? Linwood |

You come on here and basically say that anybody who doesn't see things the way that you see them are idiots and you expect a "kind welcome?" You think that those of us who believe that we were created by a super-intelligent being are silly and dilluted, but YOU beleive you evolved from a ROCK! Furthermore, dismissing another theory of anything without any proof or hard evidence to support that dismissal is in and of itself UNSCIENTIFIC. The fact is that evolution and the Big Bang Theory have had major problems from day one, and both theories have been twisted so much, they remind me of the Christmas Tree in Charlie Brown's Christmas. They tried hanging all sorts of crap on it, but it was still and freakin' ugly tree. No one here expects you to beleive in Creationism and I don't want to debate it here, as it is REALLY OFF TOPIC, but don't come here and hurl insults at peoples beliefs and faith and expect to not get your teeth kicked in. Thats just stupid. Maybe your children will be more EVOLVED than you. Matt |
