  • What is the proof that the sun doesn't revolve around the earth?

  • hello

  • There's one thing I don't understand- if the earth was not tilted, wouldn't we still have seasons? Only, wouldn't they just be more "extreme," per say? Someone help me here. Thanks

  • I loved this. Fantastic lecture.

  • These are great fun. I'm doing the Time and Distance one next. I actually enjoy your long videos. o.o

    What's your ethnic background btw? Really curious. (Mostly due to accent.)

  • Congratulations.

    But don't forget the possibility that the "imperfects" aspects of nature was "made" only to deceive the humans, in order to make them believe that there is no design.

  • great.

  • very impressive ...

    evolution or change is the element of nature...

    we are a product of evolution...

  • smart girl,but there is a designer otherwise we could not speak about the design, now if it`s perfect or not it doesn't matter..

  • One more comment.

    Intelligent design does not necessarily HAVE to mean CHRISTIAN oriented design. I think that there MAY have been intelligent "design" but I can not absolutely "KNOW" that the "God" described in the varying versions of "bibles" is the designer.

    A "design" possibility could simply be an alien intelligence from another sector of the universe? Could be a civilization from Earth's past that manipulated the genes of our ancestors? There are MANY possibilities but few absolutes.

  • Creation/design does not NECESSARILY require what WE as 21st century homosapiens may prescribe to as "logical". The fact that organic life of ANY kind is able to survive on this , or any other world, is ENOUGH " "proof" to support the POSSIBILITY of design. You are trying to "prove" the unprovable IF your thrust is to DISPROVE intelligent "design". Even the "mechanism" behind progressive evolution of any species can be "seen" as intelligence. Design does NOT require "perfection".

  • Very arrogant and condescending, In your opinion the only people that think are the ones with your biases. The last computer I purchased had a very hard time doing anything until the intelligently designed programing was installed. Life is far more complex and detailed than any computer even dreamed of, but it required the input of thought and design to come into existence. You feel the earth not having your perfect orbit is imperfection, that is yet to be determined. WE still have lots to learn

  • Great video.

  • Thanks again for another beautiful lecture!

  • I got drunk the other day... I got so tilted I started to wobble.. but I AM perfectly designed!

  • There's an explaination for why the mantles are highly oxydized with interior oceans. Had Earth had been formed from cold stone, with water within and without, just as it is today, there would have been plenty of free roaming O2.

    [6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

    [7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

  • WOW.

    You should really read a bit about physics101, Chemistry and geology, because your claims are just lacking facts. I might take the opportunity to do a video about some of them, but until then, I recommend you (and aonyone else reading this) go do some REAL reading about what physics, geology and chsmistry are "saying" about those things. They *all* have answers.

  • Other than that, your religious part is also quite lacking, but that's another point.. either the bible's true or it isn't, either God's words are literal or they're false, you can't just play both sides. Firmaments are firmaments, not "whoops, it doesn't work like that in reality, so it must mean something else" firmaments. There are no water above nothing -- the atmosphere contains water, but it's FAR from *being* water, or *having* water "above it".

  • That, btw, isn't the only weird, insensible or false claim the biblical text makes about the shape, form and age of the earth and the stars. I'd expect a text influenced by God to not only be more accurate, but be more revealing in that aspect. We seem to have to do much more "reinterpretation" work to make it fit reality than actually make new discoveries by reading the text.

  • And finally, it's very nice that you take a handful of links that (if re-interpreted) "fit" your "theory" and ignore *everything* else science says.

    Good work on that one.

  • Um well there is water inside the earth, there is water on the earth, there is water in the atmosphere, theres is water all the way into the furthest reaches of the universe..

    Water being H2O, even one molecule is water - although not running water by itself; in the atmosphere we have drops which are water "micro oceans" on a condensation core "planet" ;P

  • Furthermore, the Earth's mantle stone is highly oxidized. This wouldn't be the case if the Earth had ever been molten. When rock approaches temperatures of viscosity, it begins expelling gasses. The heat forces the gasses out of the material. When temperatures rise to make the stone glow with heat, it is burning, and the O2 becomes boned to the material to form a new compound. But the mantles are highly oxydized with free oxygen molecules, which is impossible had the Earth ever been molten.

  • Hmmm... there is gases trapped in rock, even molten rock, they are trapped because they have trouble escaping even though there are great heat and thermal movement..

    Oxygen is reacting to stuff, but, it needs stuff to bind to to do that, and if any other reactive is "taken" there will be a surplus of oxygen..

  • If the Earth's outer core barrier were 4,000 degrees like evos claim, there couldn't be an Arctic Ocean's worth of water wrapped around the edge of the outer core:

    ht tp : / / news . nationalgeographic . com / news / 2007 / 02 / 070227-ocean-asia . h t m l

    Water doesn't sink to a place that's 4,000 degrees. It becomes steam. Obviously, the outer core is not 4,000 deg. at it's edge like the evos have been telling us in grology classes for the last 150 yrs.

  • But today we know the Earth's mantles are cool, in fact, the earth is filled with massive oceans (from which the Noachian Flood came) inside BOTH the upper and lowrer mantles!:

    ht tp : // news-info . wustl . edu / news / page / normal / 8222 . h t m l

    So you see, evo science is pseiudoscience. The Earth was never molten. God created it from cold stone.

  • "how can the earth be older than 6000 years, if we still have liquid lava ?"

    The Earth has never been molten. See, the evos have been claiming this for a century:

    w w w . seismo . unr . edu / ftp / pub / louie / class / 100 / interior . h t m l

  • This is really called simplifying

  • The north magnetic pole is really the south magnetic pole. Being that north and south ends of magnets repel each other and like ends attract, the magnet on the end of a campass needle is repel by the north pole of the earth. So what we think of as north is actually the south in terms of polarity.

  • i'm not sure, but i'd assume the wobble would be due to a gravitational pull of something. possibly the moon or other planets moving towards and away from the earth at any given time. mass and movement/rotation causes different g forces. so maybe as they move toward and away from the earth, they pull on it causeing the earth tilt to shift alittle.

  • bro i swear...these lectures are suicide rofl

  • i find perfection in imperfection. things are suppose to be imperfect. it balances it's self out that way. what is concidered imperfect makes it perfect in another way. ex- the tilt causing seasons. if the earth was just one season everywhere things would be a lot more differant than they are now.. we would have no migratory birds aswell as lot other animals. so thanks to that slight imperfection we have perfection in other places. it's a balanced diet lol!!

  • Well, yeah, good point about the tilt - but what about the wobble?

    BTW - my intention wasn't to push anti-religion at all, I respect religion and belief. My point was more to show that the uber-fanatics use dogmatic propaganda.. we should just make sure we think things through and not just accept on the merit of charisma.

    But I see your point.. I still think the beauty is in the apparant indisign, which is why I made this video :) In my eyes, the proof of natural-occurences is just amazing.

  • also in modern day if you use one of those planes that can go into stratosephere(i think thats what it's called). you can also see the curvature of the earth if you're lets say out in the middle of the ocean 360 degrees of nothingness,the horizen is curved. not only that but if it was flat as it was once believed to be you'd still be able to see land in every direction because light is infinate.

  • how  can the earth be older than 6000 years, if we still have liquid lava ?

  • we have liquid lava because of the core temprature of the earth. it is hot enough to melt metals and rock. it's a cycle metal and rock are melted come to the surface and become solid. those solids push down the layer under it and it's the domino effect. the layer at which is molten lava was once a solid on the surface of the earth. what comes up must go down pretty much.

  • Informative but a little long. Would've been nice to see more pictures instead of just a face for the most part. The latter makes it a little boring.

  • Layers... like ogres! I love this lady!

  • Hi mooeypoo ^_^

    I try to use send msg instead using this comments box ~_~ I can't write more than

    500 characters, It is hard for me to write and write on a limited time.

  • i don't have trouble leaving the earth. keep your heart open.

  • ... what?

  • i think she was reffering to outter body experience. people who have them apparently can leave not only the body but the earth

  • These highly intelligent girls are dormant sex crazed vixens. Its hard not to envision this lovely lady doing a planetary orbit on my ... oh well lets stop being meat heads and listen to the ladies info... but you got to admit shes hot..

  • it is good lecture on planet

    the question u have asked i tryed

    my best to answer it.

    i am quite sure that

    u know the answer.

    i will respond u in detail next time.

    i hope u reply to my comment

  • You remind me of that girl who Keanu Reeves defended in "The Devil's Advocate".

  • Can i have your number? you turn me on! ;P

  • thank you for your informative lecture :) i wasnt in need of convincing and even tho it was based around this i still enjoyed the science recap. i couldnt resist posting a positive post in reply to some of the ignorance below :)

  • I love this girl. An intelligent, interesting, rational, logical, independent thinker. Just remember though that intelligence is good, but without wisdom and its just an empty vessel. Intelligence is HOT!

  • You are comlpete proof of University disinformation...you just parrot everything your proffestor has told you.

  • constructive comments welcome.

  • i believe that our solar system is nothing more than an atom. it makes perfect sense when thinking about infinity.

  • its like relativity and how we as observers experience and view things from different standpoints

  • Why do fundamentalists still feel the need to tell someone their going to hell because of statements of fact or theory. These people just hold the back human races from developing.

    Emphasis on the hemeroid just below me.

  • Boy, you are going to hell for preaching these demonic lies. In your next video can you draw on some facial hair so my mind doesnt boggle when i see you?

  • i agree there is no way god exists. if he did he wouldn't be mean enough to make some one who looks like you.

  • How very not shallow of you.

  • How very not shallow of you.

  • I just became stupider watching this crap!

  • Glad to see you made progress.

  • The earth is aligned at 23.5 degrees because of the gravitational variance caused by the moon, literally given to us by the moon. It's not that the earth is perfectly placed or designed, the entire solar system has an effect on every body held within, like a gravitational ballet of sorts. The moon is also moving away from us at rate of about an inch a year, wrap your head around that.

  • Maybe god is playing pool with the planets...

  • None of those facts have anything to do with God

  • my point exactly :D

  • Thanks. You did a great job.

  • "...and was the designer sober?"

    That line was hilarious. It made my day.

  • Very interesting video Mooeypoo. Had it not gotten cloudy early this morning I would not have draged my telescope inside and found this video!

  • if the earth was Say 4000 years old and the poles were changing as rapidly as every 50 to 100 years compasses would have to have a design change every

    time the poles changed So that leads me to believe that when the poles do change it would have to be more than 3000 to 4000 Years Depending on how many layers of megma are found this would clearly show that the earth is more than 12000 years old.

  • According to the paper I read, the changing of the poles is not as fixed as we would hope. The last one, if I remember correctly, was about 4000 years ago (and I need to check this, I am not sure). The article stated that if it would've been "fixed" times, then we are about to wittness such event soon.. but it's not quite fixed, so you can't really tell.

  • Actually, history indicates that most sensible people actually new the world was round.

  • But not religion.

  • sorry, meant the 'idiot' reply for Evander.

  • your fucking ugly

  • youre an idiot!

  • Sorry to take the devils part again but i don´t get your argument. Do some phisics and think about this:

    There are 4 forces that keep all together: electromagnetic-, strong- and weakkernforce and gravity. If you change even a 1/billion of one of those nothing would exist. Isn´t this the only possible and perfect universe we are living in?

  • AIG Creation Museum refuted by fossils below museum pt.2 Paste that in the search engine box to see my new video . Part 1 is on many science news sites and religous forums.

  • i didnt get that... basically they say that if its 'really' old then they shouldnt have these characteristics.... therefore theyre young

  • Right.. thats a problem with logic, not with astronomical observation :P

    But yeah.. I'll look into their argument, it seems... interesting to debunk. Thanks :)

  • An idea for another vid, about the nebula theory because alot of creationists argue that many planets or moons, such as Io cannot be active anymore (as in active volcanoes and magnetic fields) since they are so old and shudve cooled down.

    Another idea is to talk about are the moons of Saturn Janus and Epimetheus. Gluck

  • "So Old"? Doesn't that contradict their young earth creation theory? shouldn't the stars and moons be YOUNG ?

  • the smart one wasnt for you

  • im a confused person

  • i shouldntve said that i was just pissed at someone else

  • Which ones of the things? the smart one, the flat earth one, or the agree one? ;)

  • Wait, wait, people thought that the earth was flat? OMFG stop posting these retarded videos

  • You're not as smart as you believe you are

  • ansissapated? You even LOOK like an atheist. Man oh man.....here's a prophecy....a see a rude awakening in your near future. Good luck with all that. BTW-this comment wasn't written by anyone. It spontaneously generated on this website without any outside creation or design. What a maroooon.

  • Agree

  • mooeypoo (4 weeks ago) Marked as spam

    Prove it. Are you mooeypoo? "yes" Prove it! over the net.

    Some poeple think there so smart.All you need

    is open your eyes and ears.Look around you and out in to space books eta...Ex.Like what are the odds of us/earth being in the right place in the galaxy to see other galaxys so easy with out dust eta.

  • You're a n00b! What are the odds of us being in the right place? Who cares! We are here to see it? What are the odds of god/s being the creator of the Universe. "ZERO" Ignorance is bliss...

  • Sorry, this was a reply to some noob.. I wasn't talking about you :). You are great!

  • Who cares? You should!Or you woodn't be here.

    Your saying you want to die same thing.

    "The Big Bang" They say all came from 0 right I think so.There for some thing made us/all things you xxxxing fools.OPEN YOUR XXXXING EYES LOOK ALL AROUND YOU! YOU WILL SEE

  • I dont even understand what you mean, man. If you try to understand what the Big Bang is (which is far from what this lecture is about, but who cares for detail), then "all came from 0" is quite simplistic, and way wrong.

    If you have a question, do ask, and stop using lame strawmen to support your own wish for a theory.

  • I love you! Everything you say is wonderful. Keep it up.

  • you see God created this universe full of a chaotic harmony whether we recognize it or not it is true and it is there. I am sorry to say that "we" as the dominant species still young in this time line and lack the capacity to fully understand God's plan. We have to wait and let him show us the way. So please be EZ on God ok. Science might have answers but it can't explain everything.

    P.S. I apologize if I misspelled any words I only had ESL 1.

  • And no, I am not going to be "easy on God". If God is the creator of everything, then he's responsible.

    Good luck in school, btw, don't worry about mistakes.

  • Don't be mad at God, he created this Living planet for everyone and every living being, so don't criticize his architecture, because it is perfect as is. And because even perfection under him has to have a flaw, otherwise it would not be complete (thus not acquiring perfection)the earth is a masterpiece. Just like you and I; earth will change get older and die, so will our solar system, and our galaxy, and that is all in God's plan.

  • right, of course, how appropriate; I make a rational claim and you state it's because I'm "angry at God".

    What are you.. three years old?

    I don't believe in God, so I cannot be ANGRY at something I don't believe in. Don't condescend me.

  • Animals do have good compasses in their heads. That's why birs migrate thousands of miles to an exact spot, such as a pond, then go home to the exact same spot. It's utterly amazing! God's creations are truly amaziing. So many creatures do things which are completely inexplicable.

  • Yeah I've heard your whacky theories, bub.

    Read a bit of science, would ya? You may be surprised at how many things we've already proven.

  • you said you need a compass to find the direction North.

    Actually it's a lot easier to just watch where the sun sets in the evening - that's always west , north is then over your right shoulder. should work almost anywhere on earth

    Maybe animals use my advanced technique to navigate, ie they just make a mental note of where the sun rises(E) and sets(W) every day, because I really don't think they've a compass like you said they do.

  • 4 yrs ago I was driving home (a 20 min. drive) after work and the tierod on my vehilce came loose right from the start. The vehicle was shaking as I drove all the way home. I didn't think it was so bad at the time. I prayed that it would be safe. When I got 100 feet from my apartment while driving only 25 mph, the tie rod came off. Had it come off 1 minute before, I would have been doing 65mph and it would have slung my vehicle off the hwy into trees.

  • Maybe the centrifical force of your tire spinning at higher speeds helped it stay on. When you went slower and did sharper turns (which you do not on the interstate) you finally broke it. So God saved your tierod but not the thousands of other people that died that night?

  • My friend's grand daughter was born with one eye turning inward badly. When she was 12 yrs old, the entire congregation of her church prayed together that Jesus Christ would heal her. The next morning her eyes were perfectly straight and she had 20 20 vision.

  • A year ago, my best friend (a lady) had what doctors describe as a "massive stroke". People typically have permanent dissability or die from these. In the hospital a few days later, she had the mind of a baby. It tore me apart. I prayed hard and cried. The next day she was completely lucid and seemingly normal. Her doctor was dumbfounded. Nobody recovers from a massive stroke so completely or in a single day. It never happens. Ask a doctor.

  • Shortly after that, he sent me to church - I had not been in years. He sent me there to use my to speak something to an old woman who had lost her son to cancer. The words that came from my mouth were not my own. They changed this woman's life in an instant. You see, if you meet him, you open the door, he WILL come inside. But only you can open the door. He will not reveal himeslf to those who do not want to know him.

  • Shortly after that, he used an owl to speak to me and my girlfriend as we prayed together, which we had never done before. I asked him to show us a sign that he was listening - then the owl. This owl screeched like nothing you have ever heard in your life. It was wild and crazy. It carried on for a full minute, then stopped completely.

  • Limited space, but sure. The 1st time was when I was 18 yrs old. I was crying profusely and praying on my knees beside my bed. My window was open in the mid-afternoon. He brought a narcotic-like peace over me... very suddenly. He told me to rise from my feet. A few SECONDS later he put an owl at my window that spoke out profusely. When it spoke, I felt a shock.

  • You lost me.. "she".. who.

    Other than that, the world was known to be ROUND by many other than the greeks, long long long before the Christian (or Jewish) God was invented, mentioned or written about. In fact, the Mayans are a perfect example. They knew things that we have only truly discovered about 150 years ago.

    Read about them, you may be surprised.

  • Yea, so the ancients knew from way back the earth was round, so did the hebrews. So what? You are prving my point for me. BTW, God invented man, not the opther way around. How do i know? Well... because I've met God! You should try to meet him too.

  • Eh, well. You used this "fact" that the ancients knew about the roundness of the earth as proof of God, and now that I show they weren't the first ones, you back out? Comfortable.

    The fact you STATE something does not make it true. Seriously now, read the gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and see how stating things that are "unfalsifiable" is simply not enough. Don't be afraid of alternative opinions: Go read it.

  • Adam was the first man to know the earth was round. He was the first man! God explained his creation to Adam. He even had Adam name the kinds of animals, since they were made for him. And while you might need an alternative opinion about it, I don't. You see, I have met the Creator himself - the one who ownes this place. He is full of love. He has performed miricles for me.

  • Prove it.

  • Was the first man created before plants and animals and birds, or afterward? It's afterward according to Genesis, but Man preceeded the animals in the Adam and Eve tale. I need scientific proof!

  • Second: You've met God. Okay. How so? Physically? In a dream? Illusion? In "your heart"? Do elaborate.

  • Obviously this girl is unaware that the Bible stated that the earth was round thousands of years before Greek philosophers discovered it. Just a few examples of scientific facts in the Bible:

    Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

    Job 26:10 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth

    There are others. I dare not go into all of the other science in the Bible. She might blow a gasket on her "science girl" glasses.

  • "this girl" has obviously read the bible better than you have.

    An ORB is not 'stretched", and saying "hanged upon nothing" is not "going in a set trajectory around the sun", which is so obvious, I would expect God to tell us. Or at least know.

    Ohter than that, you didn't answer ANY of the other IMPERFECTIONS.

  • Um... obviously not, since she did not know that the bible said the earth is round long before Greeks discovered it was. Obviously neither did you.

  • By the way: "Circle" is two dimentional. "orb" and "sphere" are three dimentional, and if you are thinking about stating the bible "hinted" at that then you would make no sense, since both of these two words APPEAR in the bible, just not in the context of the earth.

  • keep them coming

  • Great vid! I appreciate all the work that you put into your videos. I think its great that there are people like you who work so hard to promote education and logical thought.

  • hello. did you know,right now,not a moment after this message is formulated,a planet 10 to the power of 25 miles away,looking towards the Draco system,holds a race which is discovering nuclear fusion. And double that distance in the same direction,there is a nation capable of inhabiting it's own moon?

  • Did Xenu tell you this, or did you find this out on your own in a dream?

    ;))

  • oh no...I just took a stab n the dark. dreams are good...but also, it's not entirely illogical to believe. who's xenu? not that scientologist thing? no no...I hate that cause.

  • Actually, I agree it's more logical than many other beliefs, but still, proofs are needed. However, just between you and me here, odds are there are life in the universe, but it doesn't look, feel, smell or thinks like us.

    That's a great topic for another video btw... just added it to my list. :)

  • ur mouth is so good to suck my dick

  • if I can ever find it, you mean.

  • Hey moo. I love your astronomy/physics lectures please post more.

  • if you enterain the fact of spirt that spirt has a inhearent desine strutrure(body of flish)that that spirt needs too achive its end goal? ( too experance too breath too love who the f knows ) then a human concept of perefection is machinal because of the dependice of that life , its own desin floor , lack of faith, hahaha ,

  • the combing axices and the traval of the sun giving the elicptal orbit

  • erric tostie read somthing some one else wrote , a bit like a the jewish bible ,ps nice tits

  • yes yes , he was realy stoned :)

  • nice vid

  • youre ugly

  • Actually The Earth Doesn't Move, according to Bible belts.

    You [God] fixed the earth on its foundation, never to be moved. (Psalm 104:5 NAB)

  • mmhm. And gravity is god's hands guiding the falling apple.

    I know. We're all so blind.

  • Hi mooeypoo! Very lucid series of lectures. I liked your explanation of the seasons - your hand movements made it clear. I would be grateful if you could indicate any VIDEO/MOVIE clips on the internet that would help beginners like me to understand the basics, such as the seasons, eclipses, sidereal time vs. solar time, procession of the equinoxes, the axis "wobble" you mentioned, etc. Such supplementary material (video) would greatly enhance your lectures.

  • Laughing at ..

    how do you live with the fact your PERFECT GOD didn't create the most suitable perfect world for you?

    HAHAHAHAHAAHAAH !! That's hillarioooous! lol

    Moo is hysterical! i love it!

  • i wish everyone believed in God like yourselves then it would be perfect, we would all be like Jesus God is perfect and lives in perfect heaven ,man is sinfull and lives on the earth in rebellion to God.God is perfect man chooses not to be, except those who are born again they can know heaven now

  • There was a time where everyone were forced to either believe in god or hide their disbelief.

    It was called teh Dark Ages.

    I'll let you conclude why.

  • i think it was called the dark ages because people didn't believe the bible

  • Read history, darling. The dark ages was the time the church ruled europe. It was called the dark ages because there were no scientific advancements, many diseases, horrible acts of "curing" people by drilling holes in their heads, etc.

    Read history.

  • I love your stuff mooey, but I must disagree with this.

    Heavy plows were a darkage invention along with heavy horse collars, which together increased farming output.

    Rotary grindstones were invented in the dark ages, and horse shoes. Also tidal mills, which took advantage of the tides to grind grain.

  • Yeah, creationists have the most unbelievable flawed premises... I must say, sometimes I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry ;)

    Btw, there's a podcast called astronomycast(dot)com, it has an episode about picking a telescope :P you should check the podcast out, it's awesome.

  • btw, answersingenesis is one of the less sophisticated apologetic websites out there. I would suggest they study astronomy and read their own bible.

  • you are very negative,but you think!the speeds of the earth on its axis,(and around the sun in 365 DAYS think about that!WE LIve in a fallen universe(ADAM Noahs flood? ,all is not perfect,but still the wonder of God can be seen in the universe and in the cell there are answersingenesis at org

    FREE YOUR MIND!

  • oh this is my favourite tactic.

    I thought about it.. and it makes no sense WHY, which the question of God's omnipotent design. If all is not perfect then either GOD isn't perfect, or he doesn't care about humanity.

    Seriously now.. 'all is not perfect'... how do you live with the fact your PERFECT GOD didn't create the most suitable perfect world for you?

  • dear mooeypoo God sent Jesus and if you give your life to him, repent,believe you will receive the gift of the holy spirit ,you can know Gods love in a very real way, just as it says in the new testament and the promise of the fullnes of heaven to come

  • oh my, he's trying some internet save you tatics. Whats next kevin you setting up a paypal for the tithes. :P mooey keep bringing us this info. I for one grew up in a strong christian babtism background which I choose to leave. I left for many of the reasons you bring up mooey.

  • forgot to mention the cool website of ask the astronomer asktheastronomer . blogspot . com

  • a dobsonian 16 inch ! If you want to get great advice like I did email ask the astronomer ! asktheastronomer @ gmail . com

    I got steered in the right direction after buying a crappy one. I was saving up for an 8 inch but decided to go big. Nicest telescope I ever had.

  • wooops meant to say astounding -- I was up all night observing jupiter and other planets all night with my telescope.

    BUT! astrounding sounds good.. a mixture of astronomy and astounding.

    Or shall we say --- an astronomically astounding video !

    that's it I need COFFEE !

  • hehehe a great typo! :D

    Tell me, if you don't mind, what kind of telescope are you using for jupiter observations? I'm trying to find a good one, and not sure which to pick.. (trying to fit it to my budget of course)

  • I love how this astrounding mind of Moo's work !

    Awesome critical thinking and a very very dignified and well spoken lecture.

  • Please do. Even a few would suffice, I am just curious to see where you got this from.

  • Really? I don't remember that.. can you give the verses? That's interesting indeed.

  • Astronomy is complex, but you explain it very well. And the Shrek reference definitely made the video!

  • hehe thank you, I was hoping people would get it and not wonder why I threw in onions just for the sake of it :P

  • Yes, she does make references to creationism. still, one can not discount any of the facts she's laid out. for those of you who give credit to suggestion towards the bible, I know (or you would say, believe)youre grossly misled.

  • Remember the bible is a watered-down version (deluge pun intended)of many earlier cultures. Many of these cultures knew of these very topics she brings forth.

  • Egypt, Aztec, Mayan, Sumerian, just name a few . You have been taught these were primatize Sun worshiping peoples. When the fact is Judeo-Christian-Islamic beliefs are nothing more than Paganized-Sun-Worship,  with the knowledge of Astronomy being lost over the years. If were cruel, i would say plagiarized but there is more knowledge being lost, than transfered in the Torah spin-off, ghost-written, 7000th versioned sequel..... some call THE TRUTH

  • The knew of them, yet they had many wrong and many other false beliefs. This means nothing other than we had different types of discoveries in different continents.

  • She is discrediting religious beliefs that make no sense in relation to science, not a complete religion. Galileo did not try to discredit Christianity.

  • Nope, Christianity tried to discredit Galileo ;)

  • what the hell is thisi about? this sucsk

  • I happen to speak it fluently, and studied the OT in its original language (hebrew + aramaic) for 12 years. Give a verse, if you want, i'll take a look.

  • The hebrew meanings can be translated by context and not by modern definitions. The words are used in other definitions than they are today.

    I actually read the Hebrew version fluently :)

  • circle is not a sphere. And it seems that a)if you're not here to debate we have nothing to go on for and b) you're not holding the statement I argue against, so the argument is semi-circular and unfocused.

    Just please stop mixing circle with sphere. They're not the same. The bible has BALL and SPHERE in it, just not in the context of EARTH. So it's not like this is the way they used to define 'round things' like spheres.

  • Godusesamac, I believe we should define what the PURPOSE of our existence is (according to a belief in god) if we are to argue whether the design of earth fits it or not perfectly. Don't you agree? :) Since I claim we have no purpose, I believe it's up to you to supply your belief for the answer so we can move on debating.

  • No no, I'm not judging by geometry, I'm judging by suitability-for-life parameters, which assumes that the earth was created for humans (the premise of the monotheistic god, isn't it?)

    If the earth flips polarity, for instance, it will no longer be suitable for MOST of the animal life. Chandler's wobble has no meaning or purpose for life on earth; none whatsoever.. a tiny wobble lasting 433 days that does nothing for us shows a purpose/perfection to be quite flawed..

  • I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure I agree. An all knowing all doing god who CREATED things needs to have a purpose for things. An all doing god has no limits, so his invention should qualify as the most perfect to achieve that purpose.

    So both purpose and perfect design needs to be in the argument. State the intended purpose, then show how the design suits perfectly into it... see what Im saying?

  • Love your stuff mooeypoo.

    Ending made me laugh too.

  • The PUP theory of Anandamurati: There is nothing Perminent, Uniform or Perfect.

  • We have no argument at this specific thesis, then :) I can argue 'spirituality' in terms of 'super-natural' in my view being an oxymoron, but it is an argument for another day. In here, I argue ID-proponents' "perfect design by god" solely.

  • Heehee.. layers like ogres (:

  • Oh oh oh.. a new mooovie ^__^ I love this little lectures.. I need to get back to college one day soon. Thank you, Moomoo.

  • I very much enjoy the videos. i hope you keep making them. Don't listen to jerks.

  • btw, globe is not circle, circle is not globe - the main and enormous difference is the fact one is FLAT and the other is 3Dimentional. Yes, true, if you take a bug and put it on a ball, it will think it's a circle. But we're not bugs. Humans KNOW what balls are. The difference is not immaterial it's huge. Ball is one thing, circle another. I'd expect a book that claims to deliver god's word to know the difference.
