You even described yourself as "lunatic fringes"... do you not see how that is dripping with irony that you won't take science itself over your own personal feelings? I'm here to speak on behalf of rational people, since that is needed. You asked a question, I gave you a honest, reasonable answer, one you can research for yourself. It requires no magic, no spells or conspiracies. I actually gave you the tools to do your own critical thinking on the matter, instead of feeding you a line of BS(the Moon is a hologram? Come on...). I'm here because of the following: "Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance." You want to know who are shills? The doomsdayers. They tell you the world is going to end, unless you pay $59.99 for this book that tells you where the safe areas are and what you'll need to make it in the coming age. Wheras I offer knowledge for free. This site is like junk food. Tasty in it's own way, but hardly nutritious. Science, actual science that is. Which is far more opened minded, offers something nutritious for those neurons of yours. I'm just helping others get a balanced diet. That and I sometimes crave the junk food. Same reason why if I'm in line I might read the tabloids. They're hilarious, absurd, and not based on reality. |

Also looks fabulous because there is a planet (I guess it is either Jupiter or Saturn) of to the right hand side looking east from where we are. |
