atheist paradox

[Berzerker]

Everything spins.

what caused the Earth to spin?

[ZEE]

I know all the answers. Humans, sadly, do not really understand the question completely.

[Giancarlo]

Some humans elected trump. You need to understand very little to accomplish such an act. I think humans as a whole are getting more stupid as time goes on.

My experience is that most people today cannot give an accurate recounting of the big bang even on a basic level, so I am skeptical of anyone who claims the creation myth maps onto the physical theory.

You don't need to understand it completely to notice that there are core simularities. There was nothing and then there was something. There was darkness and there was light. Basics are there.

Actually in the judeo-christian-muslim creation myth there was something in the beginning, even before there was light ... the waters

Genesis 1:2:

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

[ZEE]

At first He was actually UNDERNEATH it.

Don't mind me though. Keep listening to your peodophile, $100,000 priest outfit, yelling and screaming at the alter, smug-looking kiss-my-ring, I memorized every word of the Bible and can speak Latin, pass the collection-plate around every 5 minutes, clown-preachers you all worship over The Way. What does AAHZ know, however, he isn't "recognized."

I am learning Hebrew, boy. Latin is a newfag language. And it didn't even survive.

[ricketyclik]

I like pickles too.

Ergo, pickles created the universe.

Prove me wrong.

I think you underestimate the history of stupidity.

what caused the Earth to spin?

The solar nebula had a non-zero angular momentum. Angular momentum is conserved. Every body that originated in the solar nebula spins.

[ricketyclik]

But what caused the solar nebula to spin? Political pressure?

[Bereta_Eder]

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters Where's the hebrew or better yet greek translation? Can't possibly rely on english. Also water can be an ephemism for void. The rest does make sense and is consistent.

[Berzerker]

the void is where the Earth in Gen 1:2 was before the light, but the Earth in Gen 1:2 was covered in water and darkness

[Bereta_Eder]

water= void, fluid, none material, not yet concrete. Then the will of God gave it shape rules and existence. existence what a juvenile word. in greek it's ΥΠΑΡΞΙΣ to dwell under rules. That's existence

[Bereta_Eder]

hahahahahaha. good call proteus. now i'm even more verified. i searched Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. Γεν. 1,1 Κατ' αρχάς ο απειροτελειος Θεός εδημιούργησεν εκ του μηδενός το σύμπαν, τον ουρανόν και την γην. http://users.sch.gr/aiasgr/Palaia_Di....1-5.htm#kef.1 even better than I though. God created the world from nothingness. Period

Why doesn't Venus spin like the Earth?

[Proteus_MST]

Why doesn't Venus spin like the Earth?

Because in the early solar systems (before planets were foremd) there were lots of collisions between the space rocks that would late form the planet simals and finally the planets ... collisions that would have the potential to change the spin consierably
