Dear stupid: how many times does the earth rotate in a year?

It's a display of piety to say these things in defense of Islam. Whether they are correct apparently plays a minor role. We observe the same thing with Christian creationists. They barely ever change their stories even if they get corrected explicitly. It just doesn't matter all that much whether something is true.

Of course. Anyone buying into such a just-so story is not likely to look past the thinnest reed in trying to hang onto it.

Of course, they don't seem to stop and think how that might appear to nonbelievers. If someone gets such basic knowledge wrong, why in the world would a nonbeliever take their word on a topic much less amenable to factual knowledge?

If someone is ignorant of addition and subtraction, I'm certainly not going to pay attention when they deign to teach me their personal calculus.

You have to give sheet1980 for being earnestly and sincerely, if inveterately, stupid and confused. This puts him head and shoulders above some other wormy disingenuous apologists who are mainly in to justify indulging in the heady feeling of idiotic intoxication.

I'll trust his sincerity when he listens as well as he talks; that is the mark of an honest interlocutor.

Until then, he's simply another shill.

Call me what u like but ur the idiot if u don't know that the Earth surface is 71.11% water and 28.89% land. If u think otherwise prove it as false

lol, you know it's not a perfectly fixed ratio, right?

Well I know that atheists are prone to using scientific ratios and calculations and it's been proven by scientists all over. But as I said to the last person who replied to my response, if u can prove me wrong, prove me wrong.

You are engaging in cargo cult science, sir. Using the gestures and words of science as if they were a magic spell, but without the crucial substance behind them

Where has it been proven that the ratio is exactly 71.11 to 28.89? These values are going to be continuous, not 100% accurate to two decimal places only.

Sheed, is it your intention to spam the same set of links twice in lieu of actual discussion? Because if so, you don't get a third go.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
