• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Big Bang Theory

I never thought this would go to 3 pages, and I also didnt think it would become a serious discussion, but amazingly some very cool ideas came out from all.


But, if people can ruin it for everyone, and everyone but one or two are really into the thread, why cant we 'surgically remove' a particular single post in a thread that was meant as 'malicius' or the like?

That way, a mean person couldnt just go in and close a thread by saying something hot off the top of his head, and a fun thread can continue on without getting crazy.


Just a humble suggestion.

Seems to me the thread is benign... it "might" offend the religious sensibilities of some... but it has been remarkably civil to my way of seeing things!

Bill, you ask how a flat Earth can have a centre... one word: radius. :)

Also, only a single Babylonian (Seleucus of Seleucia) supported a Heliocentric viewpoint... most Babylonians thought the Earth was the centre of the Universe. To give the Babylonians credit, apparently Seleucus was able to prove his viewpoint correct mathematically... this about 200 years before Christ. Given that Galileo would have to do it again more than a thousand years later... makes you wonder what pieces of knowledge we may have forgotten!

It is fascinating to me, even though I have no religious beliefs, that so many ancient cultures share great similarities in certain parts of the history contained in the Bible. The Great Flood is contained in so many stories that it most probably occurred in some form.
