What drivel, but then what would one expect from a patron of Tomato Bubble?  I especially love your inclusion of the quote by HL Mencken, who was among the most anti-Christian writers of the early twentieth century and who was famous for satirizing the the Scopes trial and was virulently opposed to revealed religion, creationism, or the existence of God.

If what Matthew posted is drivel, please tell us why this is so - other than consensus.  

For the record, I think Martin Luther King Jr. was a complete fraud.

Meanwhile, of course, they whine about someone in antiquity saying that "the earth is flat," without, of course, any proof of that having been said, or believed.

To my knowledge, the Douay-Rheims is the only Bible that states earth as a globe - Isaias 40:22. Of course, globes are round - spherical. Other "bibles" state the earth as a "circle", however, we know circles can be flat, too. Just more evidence that the D-R Bible is the true Bible with the correct interpretation guided by the Holy Ghost.

In 1887 Mitchelson & Morely failed to find evidence of the earth's movement while supposedly orbiting the sun.

In order to save Copernicanism Einstein was allowed front a compromise theory, the STR and the GTR. The era of ad hoc nonsense had arrived for science, all to make sure nobody would take geocentrism seriously again.

‘The obstinate truth about Einstein is that in mathematics he was no more than competent and that among the so-called discoveries presented to the world under his name one can search in vain for one that was original. Had Einstein not been selected, for reasons that had nothing to do with intellectual ability, to act out a role which was deemed necessary for the furtherance of the war against God and civilisation, his claim to immortal fame would have been that of a talented and not-undistinguished physicist… If we allow the very utmost in his favour it is demonstrable that he would have been less well-known still than Reimann, Minkowski, Thomson, Fitzgerald, Maxwell, Lorentz, Lamor, Planck Poincare, Hilbert, Ricci, Levi-Civita, Bohr, Schroedinger and Heisenberg, all of whom were approximate contemporaries of Einstein’s, all of whom were more competent and original in the areas of science which have made Einstein’s name immortal, and none of whom will be known even as names to most readers who do not have a specialist knowledge of mathematics and physics.’  N.M. Gwynne, Einstein and Modern Physics, p.5.

‘The truth is that Einstein was no more than a puppet. The theories of the mathematicians and physicists from whom he plagiarised may have been devoid of common sense, but at least they tended to be internally consistent and capable of standing up to mathematical scrutiny. Einstein’s theories did not even meet that test. His life’s work was a hotchpotch of plagiarisms that were in total not only defective in logic but also so full of interior error that, as Lynch, Dingle Essen and others showed, any mathematician brave enough to investigate them critically cannot fail to destroy them. And let me repeat that he plagiarised. His contributions to thought were not only childish; they were not even his.’  N.M. Gwynne

‘There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light.
She went out one day,
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.----- Reginald Butler (1913) quoted by Al Kelly in the introduction to his book Challenging Modern Physics – Questioning Einstein’s Relativity Theories. Brown Walker Press, Boca Raton, Florida, USA, 2005.
