Idiot!

ophelia by opheliaOG 2003 · Jun 2, 2004 · 250 views

So there's this guy at my job, who's sole purpose in life is to create arguments by presenting these theories of his,theories that are so opposite of anything remotely factual, that somebody will always respond to him by saying something along the lines of "um, no, that's not true at all, EVERYBODY knows that....."

His newest revalation

The sun revolves around the earth...

I thought he was kidding at first, like, it's an established fact that the opposite is true - but, he just kept igging me on, presenting this "evidence" of his, none of which made any sense...One of his main arguments though is that, according to him, the Bible promotes his view - which it of course doesn't. Then he starts asking me how I can prove he's wrong - and, I KNOW there's tons of solid evidence that show beyond the shadow of a doubt that what we all know is true, is true indeed, but, it's such an obvious and accepted fact, that, I, like most people have kinda accepted it w/out looking into the intricacies behind it. One thing that did come to mind is how pioneer10 was shot out into space and sent back pictures showing the solar system as it actually is - he says the pictures are a lie, haha...I just went through a couple different search engines to try and find some simple proof to show to him, and, it's weird, there's websites that talk about it, but, nothing that's like so cut&dry that you could just show it to somebody who didn't believe it and convert'm..Like, I want something that's mathmatically founded and you cannot refute. Anybody who finds me a staright and to the point peice of proof, gets some free pancakes...

dont you hate when people post stuff like this. i just read my comment and was like... i hate that girl. haha

does he believe that the earth is flat and support by 2 elephants on a turtles back?

ophelia #5.1 opheliaOG 2003

haha, yo i asked him that to him the first time he started jivin' about this nonsense, and he's like "no, that makes no sense"...i just laughed

rocksupastar #5.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

I would go with the fact of gravity... and the fact of all the orbits... obviously the sun is the center... just use a telescope and he can see for himself.

rocksupastar #5.1.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

and this way the "secret governmental agencies" that are covering up the fact about the suns orbit have no sway on what you are seeing through the telescope... IDIOT! People that are that ignorant REALLY bother me.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

yeah like, seriously, i wanna hit'm.....stupidity of this level deserves bruises...like...look @ the earth&the moon...the earth, being a lot bigger than the moon, has a lot more gravity, and so, the moon revolves around the earth, not vice versa...seeing as how the sun is thousands of times bigger than the earth, wouldn't it make sense that there'd be the same relationship?!?!...i told him that and he goes "you're missing the point"..hahaha

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

he says the man's covering it up is a part of a conspiracy that's goal is to take our reasoning as far from the bible as possible, because, the bible supports geocentrism...rrreeeeetard

iwz iwz

Have you asked him to show you from the bible how it supports geocentricism?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

yeah but he'd never actually bring it in..and never quote anything either...he just likes bickering basically...simple minded fella

perrin perrinOG 2004

If that's the case is it even worth your time and effort to try and talk to him about it. It may just be a case of pearls before swine.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

yyyyup....good analogy indeed

How do we know this guy isn't right ^.^

skaorsk8 #4.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

stop winking at me, i'm not your little boyfriend

ophelia #4.2 opheliaOG 2003

are you serious?

beachbum #3 beachbumOG 2002

brian, are you "not afraid to join the attack on the Copernican mother of all truth-destroying sacred cows now masquerading as "science". hahaha. what the heck are they talking about?

beachbum #2 beachbumOG 2002

i think he's yanking your chain. there is no way he can actually believe this crap. he obviously has nothing intelligent to say so he has to make up nonsense to argue about. next time just say, "you know, your evidence is amazing. i think you are right and i will believe what you say." Then ignore him. Unless you like pointless arguments with idiots.

ophelia #2.1 opheliaOG 2003

well see that's what i thought at first - but i did some research, and there actually are STILL people who believe this..cause they take certain parts of the bible literally...it's nuts

beachbum #2.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

haha that's insane. like the bible is (supposedly) the only evidence that the earth revolves around the sun. but if he's ALWAYS trying to start arguement w/ nonsensical theories on all different subjects, perhaps he just has nothing better to do.

ophelia #2.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

yeah..haha, like, see look at this... http://www.fixedearth.com/ there's retards who still advocate this thinking

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

well he's got some stuff right about no evolution. but it is absolutely absurd to believe the earth doesn't turn. all other stars have stuff revolving around it. someone needs to send them a telescope and some common sense.

skaorsk8 #1 skaorsk8OG 2002

why not ask him to plot the rotation of the sun around the earth? (we have pictures that show the path of the earth around the sun - i've never seen any pictures that show the path of the sun around the earth.)

something like(and this is probably a bad example)

and if he still doesn't believe you, well, give him this nice picture for his desktop

ophelia #1.1 opheliaOG 2003

haha, thanks for the pics...the thing is, his argument is that "the man", or, the folks in charge of what we learn in school, rigged everything so that we end up believing a lie...so illustrations wouldn't mean much to him - what i want is some sorta like undisputible line of reasoning, or equation, that'll shut'm up

socalgal #1.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

since he doesn't believe pictures and they are "lies" star with the pictures of himself and actual things that are "now" and ask him if they're lies also....then proceed to show him pictures of the solar system etc.

OR

act like the total "airhead" and ask "if the sun revolved around the earth, it would have to be at lightening speed, now since its going fast wouldn't the fire/gases etc burn out and not give us heat?" then just walk away....hahahaha
