I can disprove your bible bullshit all day long, but I just want to focus on this one little line from the book of Genesis.

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."

I study astronomy. It offends me greatly that someone capable of cognitive thought would believe this story. The struggle for our species to make discoveries about our universe is such an inspiration. We have come so far, despite Christianity. There was a time in the history of our little blue planet when people ("heretics") were put to death in various barbaric manners for having the audacity to suggest that the earth orbits the sun.

Since then, we have come so far. This is what we KNOW to be TRUE.

1. The moon is not a light, be it lesser or otherwise. Don't be stupid. The HUMAN who wrote this ludicrous bullshit had no fucking idea what the moon was! Now we do. It isn't a light.

2. The light that "rules the day" is a STAR. We call it a sun because it has planets in it's orbit. There are 100,000,000,000 SUNS in our galaxy (Milky Way) alone.

I say, fuck your bible for reducing the beauty, enormity, and complexity of the cosmos to a wave of the hand by some invisible person. I don't hate the writer of this bullshit, they couldn't have known that stars are more than just specks of light in the sky. I do have a really big problem with people turning their backs on the beautiful truth that smart people, with unquenchable desire for understanding worked so hard to discover. You have no understanding, salty. If you did, you wouldn't shit on the truth by denying it because it doesn't align with your faith.

That site argues for the earth being 4.6 billion years old and only a local not global flood being behind the story of Noah's Ark. Those alone is seen as heretical by large number of Christians who will maintain the universe is only 6000 years old and that around 4000 years old there was a massive global flood which wiped out all of humanity expect for 8 people.
