Um not sure if you are yanking our chain here, but this has been all over the news today.

Atom, black hole, the theist is still going to argue one of two things.

1. "God did it." 

or

2. " Science doesn't know everything."

More liberal theists start with "God did it" but can and have back peddled to "science doesn't know everything" when called out on it.

The fundy theists are more likely to do the opposite.

They start out with "Science is crap" then back peddle with, "Ok fine, but God did it, and you will still burn you in hell if you don't pick my sect."

It's a joke, Brian.  A joke.

I’m fairly certain he was joking, Brian. ?

Thank you for picking up on it.  Clearly, it wasn't as obvious as I had thought. In future, I'll be sure to put ***THAT WAS A JOKE*** after all my posts that have a humorous, ironic, or sarcastic intent.

One fb post showed a diagram with our sun in the center of the black hole and the Voyager 1 at the right edge.
